I agree with this editorial, and am surprised to be in agreement with CM Cohen's comments about bringing streets more into the 21st century by installing protected bike lanes. My preference is that protected bike lanes extend down to the Broadway Bridge instead of stopping at 246th, where cyclists are merged into regular traffic flow. There is plenty of room, even if some is from wide sidewalks.

Broadway is a main street for Riverdale and scaling it down improves quality of life. Someday maybe even close it off to traffic entirely to be a plaza where people can congregate, walk, sit, interact, have cultural events, dine at tables. (The subway is a problem, but there are some things that can be done.)

Narrowing lanes too would remove the double-parking problem, which exists because there is so much road space.
