Polar Ice Caps Melting; NYC's Are Growing by bicyclesonly

Polar Ice Caps Melting; NYC's Are Growing

This is where the city thinks bicyclists should have to ride if they want to cross the park at 96th Street.

Lunchtime Recess at Dalton by bicyclesonly

Lunchtime Recess at Dalton

Another school that shuts down the street so that kids can play safely outside during lunch. If recreation is justification enough to completely shut down a street (and I agree that it is), then why don't safety concerns justify universal application of less restrictive measures, such as 15 MPH limits and speed humps in all school zones?

Water Pooling and Freezing on 96th St. Transverse A Hazard for Cyclists by bicyclesonly

Water Pooling and Freezing on 96th St. Transverse A Hazard for Cyclists

There's an effort underway to force cyclists off the Central Park pathways,--the only safe, legal crosstown routes for cyclists. Supposedly, cyclists should use the transverses to get crosstown, but this photo shows just one of the hazards that await them there (here are two more).

Because the aggressive transverse motorists won't tolerate a cylist taking the lane, and there is no shoulder to speak of, cyclists have to navigate the margin of the roadway with traffic whizzing by under icy conditions caused by this unaddressed leak. The issue has been brought to DoT's attention, and I've been told there should be a response from the DoT's "Alternatives Modes Unit" by January 8. I hope no one gets hurt in the meanwhile.

Watch it Drip by bicyclesonly

Watch it Drip

In freezing temperatures, a mini-glacier reaching far into the roadbed quickly forms, making the 96th Street Transverse extremely hazardous for cyclists.

Even though there was a multi-million alteration to this corridor wall in the last year, to prevent rockslides, DoT failed to address the leakage problem. Let's see if they'll return and fix this.

Lunchtime Recess at St. Ignatius Loyola by bicyclesonly

Lunchtime Recess at St. Ignatius Loyola

One of the many schools in NYC that close off the street for recess to create a space where kids can play and decompress. Certainly a better use of the space than providing free parking to residents of the Upper East Side.
