Could NYC Finally Become A Biking City?
Michael Kimmelman, architecture critic of The New York Times, argues that with all that's horrible about the pandemic, there is a potential bright spot: New York City officials could finally take biking, and bike safety, seriously.
@BrianLehrer It's worth noting that what this city calls "protected bike lanes" are hardly protected. Parked cars are lousy protection. It often amounts to extra parking, storage space for unloading delivery vehicles, space pedestrians decide to chill in.. Not protected enough!

"Not so many New Yorkers own cars -- more than half of New Yorkers don't," @kimmelman tells @BrianLehrer. "I'm not sure we need to make more room for cars." https://t.co/bDIMvhplBk
