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.
Screenshot of Apple Maps in NYC showing Greenwhich and Washington crossing Canal. I have drawn red arrows on Washington and Greenwich showing the direction changes. North of Canal: Greenwich goes north and Washington goes south. But south of Canal it’s flipped.

We get defensive because as things stand, attempts at external benchmarking largely come from Republicans who want projects dead and services cut. NJ Senate Republicans want NJT's funding cut because the new bus tracking system doesn't have near-100% guaranteed accuracy like Amazon package tracking.

I was on Cole’s this summer and some idiot was biking the wrong way in the bike lane and wouldn’t give way. I was on 7th Ave too this summer and some idiot was biking the wrong way and wouldn’t give way.

I am pro-safe but unsanctioned mobility behaviors. Firetrucks blocking the bike lane so you're biking on the sidewalk? No problem. Idaho stop? Great. Biking wrong-way and pushing right-way cyclists into the car lane? Insanely anti-social and wrong.

Online urbainsts have taught people that all ped buttons are bad and that taping them closed is good. They dont tell you that screws up TSP and negates all the other programming geared towards reducing pedestrian delay.

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.

Coastlines in the #NYC metro region are flooding today and over the weekend due to Nor'Easter Nolo. Our infrastructure -- even BRAND NEW NYC -- is not prepared for sea level rise. We aren't even well prepared for flooding from this Nor'Easter.
NYC Parks and Columbia University rebuilt this boat launch into the Harlem River about a year ago. It looks like it is maxed out today, about an hour off of the local high tide.this should be a ramp down to the water but it is flat and at risk of bowing upward.NYC Parks rebuilt this boat launch after Hurricane Sandy in 2012. It looks like it is maxed out right now and may break with the September 2026 Extratropical Cyclone / Nor'easter Nolo. The Henry Hudson Bridge and Harlem River are in the background. The tidal marsh of Inwood Hill Park has jumped its banks. A 20' wide park path is inundated. Several parks benches are in the water. NOAA Tides and Currents Timeseries for Sep 24-26, 2026 for The Battery, NYC. It shows minor to moderate flooding at high tide.

Remember, a lot of us who use regular citibikes have to share the same infrastructure with citi e-bikes. Most of us can’t afford to use the e-bikes all the time, and when we have to they are throttled and low powered. I feel much safer when these bikes aren’t going so fast.

@jimmybot.com I think if we are able to get those 10 minute frequencies on the light rail, and if we could get that for the WTC PATH line - It would really revolutionize our transit system and then really we could really start to think about planning around that.

Didn’t they build a new ShopRite? Is it closer to Washington now? Too bad these buses can’t go the opposite way on Washington. Then they could serve both grocery stores in both directions.

There might have been a good reason to route that bus to Marin that I’m not aware of. It might have been for the ShopRite on Marin.

@customeradvocate.bsky.social I wonder if it make sense to move the 16 buses original routing to Washington for JSQ-bound service instead of Marin. I notice that the Washington & Columbus stop has become popular for Whole Foods customers using the 9 bus.

This awful story of two high school girls killed by a truck driver who failed to yield and turned into them is awful. Worse is reporting emphasizing they were riding two on an electric citibike- as if a single kid on a traditional bike would’ve had any different outcome. This story gets it right.
