Sep 10 - Int. 1375 orders DOT to install 5,000 bike parking stations over five years. 1,000 a year. 400 on commercial blocks. It cuts sidewalk clutter, houses bikes off the curb, and strengthens safety for riders and pedestrians.

Int. No. 1375 is at SPONSORSHIP. Introduced 02/26/2025; event date 2025-09-10. Committee: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The measure, titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to expanding the bicycle parking station program," would require DOT to install at least 5,000 bicycle parking stations over five years (1,000 per year; at least 400 on commercial blocks), post locations online, and deliver a one-time report within six years. Tiffany Cabán is the primary sponsor; Lincoln Restler and Gale A. Brewer are co-sponsors. Safety analysts note that expanding secure, well-sited bike parking—especially on commercial blocks and in underserved areas—supports mode shift, reduces sidewalk clutter from ad hoc parking, and improves end-of-trip safety; impact will be strongest if DOT prioritizes curb/roadway placement over sidewalks to protect pedestrian space.

Aug 19 - Local officials backed DOT's protected bike lanes under the elevated 31st Street tracks. A New York State Supreme Court issued a temporary injunction that paused the plan. Leaders urged the city to move the separated lanes forward to protect cyclists and pedestrians.

Bill/file number: none. Status: press release; plan supported by local officials but temporarily blocked by a New York State Supreme Court temporary injunction. Committee: N/A. Key date: 2025-08-19 (press statement). The matter titled "Elected officials outline continued support for 31st Street protected bike lanes in Astoria" urges DOT to install protected lanes beneath the elevated tracks. Council Member Tiffany Cabán and Assembly Member Jessica González-Rojas publicly backed the project. A state senator also expressed support (name withheld). Safety analysts note protected bike lanes under elevated tracks expand safe cycling infrastructure, reduce motor-vehicle-bicycle conflicts, and support mode shift to active travel; benefits depend on continuous, well-lit, accessible design to protect equity and nighttime safety.
