The hardened bike lane, which is part of a $900 million safety pledge by the city, makes good on previously planned local street upgrades.

The existing South Slope plan also includes a protected two-way lane on 10th Avenue between 19th and 20th streets and a conventional bike lane on 19th Street from 10th to 11th avenues plus other design features, like changing the flow of traffic and adding mini roundabouts — upgrades that are already partially underway. At the end of last year, the DOT rolled out a series of traffic upgrades in South Slope, including as-yet-undefined bike boulevards and other features aimed at making it easier for cyclists and pedestrians to use the road. In South Slope, the bike lane also makes good on an already-promised plan to improve traffic and safety conditions in the blocks surrounding the north side of Green-Wood Cemetery.
