Sounds like the discovery of serious sinkholes triggered delays. I don't
know how that could have been prevented.
But "cyclists who want to ride on a bike lane must go one block further
into the island."
Oh, the humanity!!!
Not aware of any time when making transport more awkward, has worked even
if by design ie quiet ways ie trying to get cyclists to use quiet back
streets, in general people like having direct routes and less faff ie
things to be easy.
Hence such projects fail as they don’t take people where they want to be.
This said it doesn’t look like this Embankment path, would be much more
than leisure route as ever with google maps/Strava heat maps the car
centric nature of NYC and lack of numbers of cyclists is to a London eye
quite noticeable.
