The McBrooklyn Blog spots this freshly painted high-visibility bike lane on Henry Street in Brooklyn:

Could be that the NYC Department of Transportation actually listened to groups like Transportation Alternatives,which advocates painting bike lanes a solid color in order to improvevisibility and curb blockage by motor vehicles. Bikers have reportedthat the Tillary Street lane is painted green, and the lane along HenryStreet in Brooklyn Heights is also painted.

Looks like it might be working. While a car did drive into the bike lane, it quickly -- "Oops!" -- swerved back out again.
