Manhattan

The state's overbuilt response to last year's vehicular terrorist attack on the West Side Greenway has made the nation's most popular bike path nearly impassible during snow storms like the one on Thursday.

"It’s a hastily-thrown together solution, and we deserve better from our city and state officials," said TransAlt Executive Director Paul Steely White.

The greenway is bursting at the seams during warmer months and needs to be widened to handle the peak volume of bike and pedestrian traffic it carries.

The failure to enact congestion pricing was a setback for the whole city, but no borough got a worse deal than Manhattan. And yet, as this deal was being negotiated, Manhattan elected officials didn't make a peep.

Given the high-profile location, the number of victims, and recent instances of people using vehicles to kill for ideology, it's understandable that yesterday's crash drew so much attention. But it's important to recognize that as terrible as the Times Square carnage was for a single incident, the same human toll occurs on a daily basis on NYC streets -- it's just dispersed across the city.
