DOT tracks long-term trends in New York City cycling using the In-Season Cycling Indicator.The Indicator is derived from counts of bicycle traffic over the four East River Bridges, the Staten Island Ferry, and on the Hudson River Greenway that have been taken annually since 1984. DOT counts cyclists monthly from April to October, with three additional counts in May, August and September for a total of 10 counts per year.
DOT presented a draft proposal for robust safety improvements on Queens Boulevard between Roosevelt Avenue and 73rd Street. The plan includes protected bicycle lanes, increased pedestrian space and specific safety improvements at intersections, with anticipated implementation in August 2015. This project lays the groundwork for a $100 million capital investment on Queens Boulevard, a Vision Zero Priority Corridor, as part of the de Blasio Administration's Great Streets initiative.
DOT unveiled the design concept of main road bus lanes for Select Bus Service (SBS) on Woodhaven/Cross Bay Boulevards, a corridor that carries 30,000 daily bus riders over 14 miles from the Rockaways to Woodside. The Woodhaven SBS would be the most intensive and most beneficial SBS route to be implemented and is a vital transportation route for thousands of residents of the Rockaways and central Queens.
Vision Zero seeks to eliminate all deaths from traffic crashes regardless of whether on foot, bicycle, or inside a motor vehicle. The Borough Pedestrian Safety Action Plans are one of 63 Vision Zero initiatives advancing that goal for all street users. In an effort to drive these fatalities down, DOT and NYPD developed a set of five plans, each of which analyzes the unique conditions of one New York City borough and recommends actions to address the borough's specific challenges to pedestrian safety. Each Borough Plan was shaped by the community input from nine Vision Zero Pedestrian Safety Workshops held across the five boroughs and thousands of comments collected through an interactive Vision Zero Input map.
