Brooklyn Bridge Night Closures for Rehabilitation Project |
| |
http://www.lowermanhattan.info/construction/project_updates/brooklyn_bridge_rehabilitation_85300.aspx |
| |
To facilitate Brooklyn Bridge rehabilitation, the city DOT is closing and reducing Manhattan-bound lanes overnight as needed. During the closures, westbound traffic will be detoured to the Manhattan Bridge and Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel during the closure hours. Brooklyn-bound traffic and pedestrian and cyclist access will be maintained, though the promenade will be narrowed during the project. Work includes repainting steel across the entire span to prevent corrosion, along with repairs to the ramps and approaches. The closures are expected to continue overnight through the end of the project in 2014. For more details visit: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/bridges/brooklyn_bridge.shtml#traffic |

Chambers Street Made One-Way Westbound |
| |
http://www.lowermanhattan.info/news/chambers_street_to_go_77837.aspx |
| |
Reconstruction and water-main replacement on Chambers Street is active between Greenwich Street and Broadway. The Chambers Street roadway is reduced to one-way westbound traffic. The closure allows city crews to perform extensive infrastructure reconstruction in the roadbed and intersections. Other utilities also will be replaced, including electric, gas, steam, and sewer, as well curbs and sidewalks rebuilt. The eastbound M22 bus is re-routed to Warren Street for the project duration, through appx. late 2014. |

City DOT Safe Bicycling Guide |
| |
http://www.lowermanhattan.info/news/city_dot_issues_safe_95632.aspx |
| |
To help ensure bicyclists' safety and compliance with city laws, the Department of Transportation (DOT) has issued the “Bike Smart – Official Guide to New York City Cycling” brochure. The brochure includes guidelines for smart bicycling, tips for how to “read the road,” and practical advice for using bike lanes.
The guide also offers tips for parking and locking bikes, and how to merge, share space, and cross paths with vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Reminders of what safety gear is required -- such as helmets, lights and bells -- is also listed, as well as diagrams for how to safely make turns in traffic, and riding three feet from parked cars to avoid being “doored.” A map of New York City’s bike lanes and other cycling tips also can be found on the DOT website. |

| |
To encourage cycling as an environmentally friendly, healthy form of transportation, the city DOT is installing bicycle lanes as part of its three-year 200-lane-mile commitment, launched in 2006. More than 80 cycling lane miles have been installed to date. Completion of the city's 1,800-mile bicycle master plan is scheduled by 2030. |

Trucks and Commercial Vehicles Routes and Information |
| |
http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/motorist/trucks.shtml |
| |
Trucks and commercial vehicles are essential to New York City, providing goods and services to millions of New Yorkers every day. The city's diverse mixture of land uses, dense urban environment, and vast transportation infrastructure require a distinct set of regulations to govern the operation of trucks and commercial vehicles. In order for this system to function efficiently, it is important that drivers observe city rules, routes, and regulations, outlined by the city DOT at: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/motorist/trucks.shtml |

West Street Bikeway Temporarily Relocated to Esplanade |
| |
http://www.lowermanhattan.info/news/west_street_bikeway_moves_63256.aspx |
| |
Since November 2010, the west-side bikeway between Albany and Vesey Streets is relocated to the Battery Park City (BPC) north cove esplanade. The relocation allows Port Authority crews to perform infrastructure work associated with the World Trade Center chiller plant, which ties into Hudson River underground water lines in BPC. The bikeway relocation is expected to remain on the esplanade for up to four years. Signs along the route will help guide cyclists through the detour. |
