Oh yeah they also do that on Varick south of Canal

Oh this is interesting. There’s a bus only lane on Watts St right before the Holland Tunnel.

I suppose you can make a contraflow bike lane on Washington for a block, go east on Watts for one block, then south on Greenwich. But then there would need to be a way for bikes to use the street since it’s a brick street

There needs to be a better way to get to WTC for us NJ people. 7th/Varick has a major bike lane gap near Canal St. Washington & Greenwich both change directions at Canal & there’s no safe way to connect from Washington to Hudson without going on Canal for a block.

Someone illegally parked here at the intersection of Jersey/Columbus delay buses headed to Greenville, McGinley Sq and Bergen-Lafayette. Bus drivers can’t make a clean turn and drivers on NB Jersey need to back up and move to the right so the bus driver can maneuver past the illegally parked car.

Cinnabon food trucks can just take up valuable space in front of JSQ? I thought this space was for taxis and pick ups. Now pickups are blocking the right lane of Kennedy? Are they paying to use this space? This seems like total chaos.

Another interesting piece of bus infrastructure here on Vancouver Island. A bus stop on the highway that is for a park and ride. For the WB side, there is a little path that leads to a road under that highway to get to the park and ride. Very efficient .

No, looks like they do that for any route that has a service advisory. In this case, it’s for a lane change in a bus station. Make it stop @transit.app

You’ll notice these pedestrians over crossings on these roads, but they are too far apart. So I’d imagine you have to walk pretty far to be able to cross these highways

How could these things keep happening?? Well take a look of a map of Camden County and you’re see NJ-style pseudo expressways which make it almost impossible to be able to do anything on foot because they put up these concrete dividers.

Checked out the progress for the Flatbush Ave centre running bus lanes. There’s really only two blocks and one “station” completed. Saw a very efficient use of them by an emergency vehicle. That should be a good enough argument for bus lanes.

There is also another bus stop in front of Asian Food Market at the Hudson Mall. I’m not sure which stop serves which service, but looks like maybe the JFK service stops here. This is about pricier .

I’m seeing some chatter about the confusion surrounding the West Side Branch being closed on the HBLR this weekend. Here’s what happens when you select this station. Doesn’t mention the bus bridge. Strange it says to check schedules, like the pdf? It’s so confusing @customeradvocate.bsky.social

We had a crash today where a pedestrian was hit by a driver and this person is complaining about bikes
It’s not always the drivers, when I was a kid you had to look both ways before crossing and pay attention to traffic, the streets belonged to the cars, trucks and buses but nowadays these bike riders and scooters are out of control and people cross the street with their head down in their phones or headphones on so they can’t hear you honk your horn,, it’s ridiculo

One of the silliest conversations yesterday w/someone who thinks midtown Manhattan is car dependent. But the dumbest thing is they are anti-capitalist but are against bike lanes. It’s like with a lot of anti-bike leftists: car dependency is a problem, nothing we can do about it 🤷🏼‍♀️
Non-argument. I could say to you "Oh have you been to Birmingham?" You don't need to visit anywhere in America to know the whole country has a car dependency routed in it's capitalist system. It's the same in the UK, we have the same car dependency problem though it isn't has perverse as Americas.
