Reply to comment by 8bitaficionado in Why Fires From E-Bike Batteries Have Left Cities Helpless by bikeskata

Given the number of e-bikes that zip around pedestrian spaces, we 100% need this for the inevitable crashes. Anytime I run over the qboro bridge from queens into Manhattan I feel like I’m playing frogger to avoid getting killed by an e-bike because they do NOT pay attention to the line dividing the bike path from the pedestrian path. I’m constantly pointing at the bike lane and yelling at them to get out of our lane and into theirs.

The QBB desperately needs another lane for bikes and peds. I guess ideally you'd have three:

  1. Peds
  2. Non-motorized bikes
  3. Powered vehicles incl. scooters (ICE & electric) and e-bikes. Anything motorized but not car or light truck. Maybe even motorcycles.
