(The chart even indicates on page 12 that the new bike lanes pass through this 'door zone'.) It's an improvement, get me not wrong. I wonder what are our chances of seeing implemented here the proposed Upper West Side Broadway-style center cycle track. There may be ample space; note the wide buffers by the interior median.

If you will permit me to grouse, however, I would like to say that linear routes like this one always make me long for better connections at their vertices, e.g. creating a bike lane that would connect with this at 153rd St, then dive underneath the Macombs Dam Bridge, pass Rucker Park, and connect up with the Harlem River Promenade. Or a better way to cross the bridge span between the bike/ped path on the north side and the access roads to the south side.
