Hudson Terrace is completely repaved and was open to traffic this afternoon. It is not yet restriped; there are just some yellow marks where the center line will be.

CP Police renew their preferential enforcement policies

Submitted by AResnick on Thu, 04/23/2015 - 3:46pm

For the last 3 days I have witnessed cyclists being stopped by CP police for going thru red lights.  I have also avoided dozens of pedestrians "space walking" thru red lights; with the GREEN light in my direction-with no police intervention.  Just like last year.

Why don't the police consider our safety from pedestrian fault?

Is anyone aware of why posts do not show up in the Marketplace. Any admin help would be much appreciated.

Hudson Terrace Milling Has Started, Alternate Route Suggestion

Submitted by RSchmon on Tue, 04/21/2015 - 7:26pm

The milling and repaving has started on Hudson Terrace and riding north the traffic was being diverted over to 9W on Bayview Ave.  I elected to ride over to 9W as did other cyclists I saw, but if you want to take on the milled pavement I was told cyclists were being allowed through on Hudson Terrace--though I can't personally confirm that.  

…why doesn't the NYPD simply sit along any bikeway and ticket cyclists going the wrong way?

• It would be easy ticketing of "low-hanging fruit," just like riders in Central Park, the difference being they'd actually address a real problem. Ticketing a cyclist riding the wrong way would be no harder than ticketing someone rolling through a red light in the park. In fact, it would be even easier.

• In terms of PR for the NYPD, news media would LOVE this and feature it prominently on newscasts and in the papers…

• …and both pedestrians and cyclists would applaud it, as well. Everyone wins (except salmoning cyclists).

So… why has this not happened?

I just want to use it to create and export routes to my Garmin 1000. Is there any reason to pay for the premium version, other than to support the creators? What does the premium version allow you to do that the basic one doesn't?
