Yes how can I miss the bike lanes when they’re on every god darn block ? The parking shouldn’t be in the middle of the street period , it suppose to be next to the curb .

And cities aren't supposed to be for cars.

You ought to delete the last part of that sentence. NYC existed long before cars, in fact bikes were here first, along with a myriad of street trolleys and other non-car transportation, so it's silly to argue that the streets 'belong' to cars specifically

And do it in 20 degree ice and snow. . Wait till a good heavy snow hits and see how well all these bike friendly adaptations work out.

It's not in the middle? I'm confused what your issue is here, most of the protected bike lane treatments did not eliminate parking. If having your car an extra maybe 6 feet from the curb is making you this tight I don't know what to tell you lol
papolito718 t1_iw06363 wrote
It absolutely did eliminate parking are you blind ?? You don’t see at the end of each parking lane cars can’t park there for turning lanes and bikes ?? It’s also messing up Traffic with the parking taking up a lane in the middle of the road

The parking is indeed less, and the narrow lanes are a joy for large vehicles. Oh I cant wait for the snow to snarl up these now tiny lanes with one stuck bus.

I have never seen that happen, do you have news stories about such an occurrence? Usually DOT will maybe shrink a lane by 1 foot at most, with the minimum at 10 foot lanes which is still plenty wide given a car is around 6.5 feet wide and standard unit trucks (SU-30) being around 8.5 feet. 1 extra foot would do nothing so I'm not sure the issue you describe has been realized but if you have some pictures that'd be great

I drive a truck, a garbage one to be exact. I dont need news articles to see and sit in the 20 to 30 extra minutes of traffic because we no longer have 2 lanes in each direction to maneuver around double parked cars and trucks. And with so little space A single driver attempting to park can lock up the only available lane for driving.
The cascade of slowdown from that single event can ruin everyone's evening/morning commute.
There is no longer space for delivery trucks to park and unload, they literally block the entire lane of traffic on these re-imagined roads.
Bronxdale ave in the bronx is an example of how to fuck up a road so 15 people a day can bike around.
