"Bike boulevards give families the peace of mind they need to start the day right: by enjoying a safe, easy ride to school, Mamdani said in a statement ahead of the announcement."
"From protected bike lanes to safer crossings, these redesigns make our streets work for people and encourage our youngest neighbors to grow into lifelong riders."
"Those features can include protected bike lanes, sidewalk extensions, medians, and other traffic-calming measures."
The Department of Transportation plans to convert 10-mile stretches of Bergen and Dean Streets into bike boulevards. This redesign aims to improve safety for cyclists and pedestrians, particularly children using the Bergen Bike Bus. The project will be phased, with the first phase expected next year. Features of the bike boulevards will include protected bike lanes, safer crossings, and traffic-calming measures. Public outreach is currently underway to develop the designs, which will be unveiled later this year.
