In collaboration with the New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT), bike parking infrastructure will be installed at 37 subway stations that currently lack bike racks within 100 feet of station entrances. In partnership with NYC DOT – investment in biking to transit Upon completion of the project in 2025, the ban on cycling across the Henry Hudson Bridge will be lifted. This project is funded in the 2020-2024 Capital Plan and the construction contract will be awarded in 2023. In addition, on the Henry Hudson Bridge the MTA will widen the existing lower-level walkway so that it is suitable for shared use and will construct ADA-compliant ramps on both the north and south approaches to this shared use path. Cyclists must continue to dismount at the south side until the completion of the new ADA compliant ramp. In addition, effective this month the MTA is allowing for cycling across the bridge’s main span through a temporary shared use path where the width safely allows. This capital project is funded in the 2020-2024 Capital Plan and the construction contract will be awarded by the end of 2022. With this project, the MTA will renovate the south approach of the bridge’s shared use path with an ADA-compliant ramp. The MTA Board approved the award of a capital project recommended by the Strategic Action Plan to improve cycling and ADA access on the Cross Bay Bridge. As MTA ridership continues to rise, the actions we unveiled today will upgrade connections to transit for cyclists, pedestrians and micromobility users and bring more riders back to the MTA’s subways, buses, and commuter railroads.” Two MTA bridges to receive widened and improved shared-use paths “Today’s announcement represents the first steps in a comprehensive strategy to provide more car-free access to transit across the New York region. “Increasing access and connections to MTA services is one of my top goals,” said MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber. The Strategic Action Plan, first announced in May, will outline how pedestrians, cyclists and micromobility users can better access MTA facilities and services in collaboration with local governments, advocacy groups and stakeholders. Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) officials outlined a series of initial actions being undertaken through its landmark Bike, Pedestrian and Micromobility Strategic Action Plan, which include capital projects enhancing bike and pedestrian access to MTA bridges, additional bike parking infrastructure at subway stations throughout the system and the initial commuter rail stations to pilot improved car-free connectivity to local communities.
