    After heated meeting, CB 7 green lights 72nd St. bike lanes

    Manhattan’s Community Board 7 approved an advisory vote for two-way protected bike lanes on West 72nd Street after a contentious meeting with over 50 attendees denied entry. The DOT plans to remove two vehicular lanes and add safety measures like concrete bus boarding islands, citing data showing protected bike lanes reduce traffic deaths and injuries by 29%. Opponents argued the project could hinder pedestrian crossings and lacked sufficient local input.
