CITY VIEWS: OPINIONS and ANALYSIS

Opinion: Redesigning SoHo’s Streets for People and Community

By Sara Schiller | November 16, 2021

CityViews: Why City Cyclists Should Support Congestion Pricing

By Cody Lyon | March 28, 2018

They don’t sit in traffic. They don’t depend solely on the MTA to get them to work or home. But the people who commute on two wheels have plenty of reason to back a policy of charging cars to use the streets that many drivers think they own.

CityViews: Fear and Loathing on New York’s Bike Lanes

By Dorothee Benz | October 7, 2016

A thoughtlessly opened car door knocked the author off her bike, for a year. Deeper than the asphalt wounds was a terror of cars and new insight into what a genuine commitment to Vision Zero will take, from all New Yorkers.

Will Expanding Citi Bike Require Taxpayer Funding?

By Jack D'Isidoro | December 21, 2015
