The NYC Department of Transportation is looking for a way to make riding easier and safer for cyclists biking from the Brooklyn Bridge and into lower Manhattan. Right now, the city is looking into creating a protected two-lane bike patch on Park Row near Centre Street, according to a department presentation. Representatives from the city's department presented the agency's plan on Monday at a community board planning meeting. The meeting was first reported on by Streetsblog NYC.
