Eyes on the Street: Signs That the Pulaski Bikeway Will Really Happen

pulaski_cones

A reader sends in this shot of the southbound side of the Pulaski Bridge, taken yesterday morning. That was the day NYC DOT said construction would start on the two-way protected bike lane over the bridge, which has been beset by delays until recently.

Not that long ago it looked like construction of the bikeway, originally slated for 2014, might not begin until next March. But in the last few weeks the timetable has accelerated, and now DOT says it will be complete by the spring.

Those orange construction cones may not look like much, but they're a sign that people won't have to fight over scraps of space on the Pulaski's narrow, shared biking and walking path much longer.
