In New York City, transportation officials are beginning to focus bike parking installations where they are most needed. The NYC DOT will install 53 new bike racks in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in response to demand from the local planning board, occasioned in turn by huge rates of general cycling and by bike-and-ride trips to the Bedford Avenue subway station. In some phases of its existence, the DOT’s City-Racks parking program spread itself thinly across the city. It is probably a better use of resources and demonstration of the program’s potential to focus efforts more heavily in districts with more concentrated bike use, as now seems to be the case. |
