Sep 10 - Int. 1375 orders DOT to install 5,000 bike parking stations over five years — 1,000 a year, 400 on commercial blocks. Secure, well-sited racks aim to clear sidewalks, curb bikes chained to poles, and boost pedestrian and cyclist safety through mode shift and safety‑in‑numbers.

Bill Int. 1375-2025 is at SPONSORSHIP in the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Filed 02/26/2025 and listed 09/10/2025. The matter is titled: "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to expanding the bicycle parking station program." Council Member Carlina Rivera is the primary sponsor. Gale A. Brewer is co-sponsor. The bill would require DOT to install 5,000 bicycle parking stations over five years (1,000/year; at least 400 commercial-block stations/year), post locations online, and submit a one-time report within six years.

Aug 14 - Greater Greenways plan released. It maps gaps and names corridors. No deadlines. No new funding. No firm design standards. Greenways can include paint-only lanes. That risks weak protection and delays safety gains for walkers and riders.

Plan number: none. Status: released Aug. 14, 2025. Committee: none. The matter is described as "intended to connect gaps across NYC's bike and pedestrian paths." A 2022 law by Council Member Carlina Rivera requires DOT and Parks to publish and annually update the plan; this release arrived over eight months late. The plan names early action corridors and budgets $7.25 million in federal funds to produce corridor plans by 2028, but construction timelines are missing. Mayor Eric Adams has promoted greenways without clear deadlines. Parks Commissioner Iris Rodriguez-Rosa said the plan assesses "strengths and weaknesses." Safety note: the plan could improve coordination and routes, but lacks funding, deadlines and firm design standards; defining greenways to include paint-only lanes risks weak protection and delayed safety gains.
