Bike Lane Requested

Hudson St - Hudson St - Canal St

The Hudson/Canal intersection should be redesigned as follows: Eliminate the right turn lane on Hudson from Hudson onto eastbound Canal. This lane is mostly unused. Now, shift the two Holland Tunnel lanes to the right into the previous turn lane. This leaves a new lane available for a left side buffered bike lane to connect to the Hudson bike lane north of Canal. One of the Hudson through lanes is often blocked by loading trucks. Make the blocked lane an official loading zone which will protect the new bike lane. At the Canal/Hudson intersection, eliminate the porkchop since it is no longer needed to shorten the crossing distance and increase pedestrian safety on the south crosswalk.

Narrow Sidewalk

Canal St - Elizabeth St - Mott St

The sidewalks on Canal, especially between Lafayette and Bowery are *way* too narrow for the number of people who use them. Walker Street should be closed to car traffic for that last half-block and the remaining area should be opened to pedestrians. Additionally, lanes should be taken from cars and used to expand the sidewalks, as well as create a full crosstown bike route from river to river with fully protected bike lanes. There also isn't nearly enough tree cover. It's brutal to walk there in the summer.

Walker St - Baxter St - Canal St

Pedestrian congestion around Canal Triangle makes Walker between Baxter and Canal a prime candidate to be closed to cars and pedestrianized. Perfect place to put tables and chairs and increase usage of Canal Triangle.

Aggressive Drivers

Canal St - Varick St - Avenue Of The Americas

Difficult intersection for drivers, bike riders and pedestrians alike. Heavy traffic from Holland Tunnel approach and 6th Ave. Long walk distance for pedestrians. Would remove one eastbound lane on Canal, convert lane to protected 2-way bike path and add mid-crossing pedestrian refuges

Canal St - Chrystie St - Manhattan Br Approach

There really needs to be better East-West protected bike connections in Chinatown. Since major traffic calming on Canal St is already needed, this can be a really important opportunity for protected bike lanes on the whole length of Canal Street, which intersects with important current+upcoming protected bike lanes that run north-south.

Add protected bike lane to fill in gap in 6th Av bike lane between W Broadway and 8th St

Manhattan Bridge Bike Path - Canal St - Manhattan Bridge Bike Path

Let bikes go straight off Manhattan bridge onto Chrystie St instead of having to go down steep hill to Forsyth St, cross Canal, and double back up hill to Chrystie

Difficult Turn/Crossing

Delancey St - Connector - Clinton St

90 degree left turn from Delancey though narrow, steep curb cut for bikes to get to Williamsburg bridge path is extremely hazardous.
