CB 3 Committee Asks DOT for Protected Bikeway on Chrystie Street

The community board covering the Lower East Side and Chinatown is set to ask DOT to transform the Chrystie Street bike lane from barely visible stripes blocked by double-parked cars into a two-way protected bikeway along Sara D. Roosevelt Park, connecting the Manhattan Bridge with the Second Avenue protected bike lane. The transportation committee of Manhattan Community Board 3 voted unanimously Wednesday night to ask for the upgrades on the recommendation of Dave "Paco" Abraham and other Transportation Alternatives volunteers, who presented the idea last month [ PDF ].
