pictured: where alex and i used to (sorta) battle cars there is a nice new green bike lane (image pulled from google, but my brain took the exact same picture so...)
there are a few things that have change in new york that are really great.
1. there are way more "green" bike lanes - meaning they are at least semi-separate from the auto road. way cool.
2. there are mini public areas utilizing old street areas - for example at union square there are now some tables and a pedestrian walking area.
3. there's a simplified subway map. i have my issues with it (like how they took away the green in the parks and replaced it with desert yellow, yuck) but it's much clearer than before.
4. there are some new buses and bus-only lanes. that's pretty good, since the buses were like slugs, maybe even slower.
a lot can change in 5 months, so it seems. maybe lots always changed, but i just never noticed. it's nice to notice the change, and appreciate it.
