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.
