Reader Kimberly Kinchen tweeted this photo of a new bike channel on the stairs of the bridge over train tracks that separate Dyckman Fields, on the Hudson River, from the rest of Inwood Hill Park, to the east.

“It's only on the second flight so far,” wrote Kinchen. “I assume they'll install them on the first flight, too -- still an improvement for sure.”

We’ve asked the Parks Department if this retrofit will be applied to other stairways, or if there was a request for bike channels on this particular bridge. We'll update here if we hear back. In the meantime, let us know in the comments if you've seen other stairways with newly-installed ramps.
