Advocates Want UWS Roads Reshaped For Cyclists



After Broadway was reshaped in Midtown Manhattan, a local advocacy group is pushing on a pedestrian and cyclist-friendly plan to reshape the Upper West Side.

A report from Transportation Alternatives proposes ideas for improving the area for people getting around without their cars.

The plan would cut Broadway from six lanes to four, and also calls for expanding sidewalks and placing bike lanes on the inside track of Broadway with barriers to separate cyclists from traffic.

Crosstown streets would get angled parking and sidewalk extensions in the middle of the block, creating a zig-zag pattern designed to slow drivers down.

The group suggests that Amsterdam Avenue also get extended sidewalks and a protected bike lane.
