Plans for the proposed bike lane on the Upper West side are moving through the pipeline according to LINK. The proposal would create a protected bike lane on Amsterdam avenue and dedicated turn lanes. As a result, car lanes would be reduced to 4 from 3.

The timing of this bike lane and proposed improvements comes at a time when there are more bicyclists on the road thanks in some small part to Citibike’s expansion on the upper west and upper east side. Currently, there are several stations on the Upper west side including one at 85th street and Central Park west.

What do you think of this plan for the stretch between 72nd street and 110th street?
