Correct. But the schools are defunded. So please don’t pretend like they aren’t. Unless the money gets to the actual schools, they don’t have it.

Just because the DOE has a higher budget, doesn’t mean the schools are seeing that money.

We think about them so little that many of us didn’t know who you were referring to. I’ve never even considered what people from LA called themselves.

Me too.

Bronx Zoo, Botanical Gardens, Fordham, all the “hill schools”, Bronx science, wave hill, Van Cortlandt park, orchard beach, city island, Arthur Avenue (the true little Italy). Just to name a few. 😂😂😂😂

Yes! I think it is more dangerous for everyone involved. I’m not sure where the thought process was here. Putting the bike lane between parked cars/bus stops and sidewalks increases the risk of pedestrians and cyclists colliding. A poor boy was hit bad by a cyclist last year (cyclist was okay) when he tried to get from the baseball field to his family vehicle and didn’t know to look both ways in the bike lane.

The number one thing they need to cut down on car use in NYC is a cost efficient, effective system of public transportation. I would love to not need my car daily. But it doesn’t make sense to gamble on waiting 20 minutes for a bus to take me to the subway when driving into Manhattan will take me 15 min at most. It takes me 45min-1hr to use public transportation for a 15 min drive.

I’m not surprised that that’s when the uptick started. Because it’s when bike lanes were implemented in the stupidest way possible.

And this doesn’t include me having to look for cars in the oncoming lane while I have a flashing yellow arrow.

Perhaps the reason so many cyclists were killed in the Bronx after 2019 is the HORRIBLE implementation of bike lanes??? The data is literally showing that cyclists were safer beforehand. To get onto the highway from my main intersection I need to look at SIX light signals, and that doesn’t include the three bike lane lights. I have a red, yellow, green, green arrow, flashing yellow arrow, red arrow. Then the bike lane has its own set of three. But the bike lane has people moving in both directions. So I need to track all six lights and then look over my driver’s side blind spot, over parked cars, to see if a cyclist is coming from behind me. But I can’t take too long or one of my six lights might change. 🙄🤬
