Ridiculously slanted post. Someone at Gothamist hasn't read their Shoup. Underpriced parking is bad for everyone: it means people park longer, so there are no free spots, so people circle for ages l...

"His injuries were not believed to be serious." That sure wouldn't be the case if the kid had darted into the car lane instead of the bike lane....

It's 15% added to the amount of cash you put in, not 15% subtracted from the nominal fare. $45 gets you $51.75 of MetroCard value, which is 23 rides. $45/23 = $1.956 per ride. The new number with t...

He actually got the math wrong. The old per-ride cost is $1.96; the right side of the chart assumed it's $1.91. So the breakeven point was between 45 and 46 rides -- not between 46 and 47, as shown ...

Maybe if they renamed it the Matlock Bike Lane, these crotchety old people would be in favor....

Uh... Not GW Bridge. Washington Bridge. Very different....

Something's fishy about this story. The Post article says the bicyclist was "speeding through Central Park", but also says the victim "was crossing East 84th Street", which puts her not in Central Pa...

That looks like solid asphalt, but it ain't. It's loose gravel. I don't recommend trying to bike through it....

Flushing Ave is great news -- this is a huge missing link in the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway, and provides a connection to the Sands St path to access the Manhattan Bridge....

Clearly you weren't at the meeting. I was. Plenty of people spoke in favor of the plan, or were mostly in favor with a few relatively minor concerns. Those weren't reported in the Post article beca...

Because it's a good idea, and pretty much only the trolls think otherwise....

Great project. The epidemic of parking in the newly painted bus lanes on this street makes it clear that selfish drivers can't be trusted to obey the law. Finally, we'll get physical separation so t...

If they were "paid off long ago" then why is the city spending almost a billion dollars to rehabilitate the Manhattan Bridge alone? Bridges don't maintain themselves. Tolls are a start, but what we ...

Huh? This will REDUCE traffic. Cashless tolling means no tollbooths and no bottlenecks....

um, yes. The Bk Paper article (and this paraphrasing of it) say that Hoyt has a bike lane in the area where Smith is getting one now. That's just not true....
