Oh yeah you're probably absolutely correct. With the proper infrastructure it can probably still be done but that definitely makes it more difficult.

In those kinds of situations other good options are green walls, vine trellises, etc.

I agree with the Dutch guy. The trees should be offset to one side, so the the trees don't obstruct the view as pedestrians and cyclists cross each other in the middle.

Also, this bicycle lane probably doubles as access for fire trucks and ambulances.

My experience as a Dutchie (making me an expert on anything bike-related of course), for the bikers it is really nice if the bike lanes are in the middle because people don't tend to notice they step into 'traffic' if there is a non-traffic island in the middle.

There's a subway tunnel immediately under that street.

Let's also limit Times Square electricity consumption and light pollution while we're at it

most of all media needs to be about truth and authenticity

freedom of speech and anonymity fundamentalists don't recognise the threat to democracy

equally censorship and doxxing is also bad for democracy

there must be a balance and at the moment it is far too tipped towards liars

There's basically no enforcement of car movement violations either

Ok thanks.
