The Green Lane Project in New York: City to City Solutions

2:30 PM EST on January 28, 2013

The Green Lane Project is a partnership of six U.S. cities working to implement next-generation protected bike lanes on their streets.

This past fall, the Green Lane Project brought a few dozen transportation planners from those cities together in New York City for hands-on workshops and face-to-face peer exchanges to see the NYC Department of Transportation's innovative bike lane designs. We were able to tag along on some of the events and share some highlights of that trip.
