New York City transportation infrastructure developments

Overview

New York City is undergoing various transportation infrastructure updates involving bus lanes and protected cycling paths.

In Crown Heights, a Kings County Supreme Court judge issued a temporary restraining order halting the installation of protected bike lanes on Kingston and Brooklyn Avenues. The lawsuit, filed by resident Yosef Wolf, alleges the Department of Transportation failed to complete required formal notices and consultations with local officials and agencies such as the NYPD and FDNY. Construction on pedestrian islands and curb extensions is paused pending a September hearing.

Concurrently, other city projects are progressing. In Manhattan, construction has begun on a redesign of 116th Street to improve transit for bus riders through new lanes and pedestrian spaces. In Brooklyn, the redesign of Ashland Place has been completed, establishing a two-way protected bike lane that connects Sunset Park to DUMBO.
