The Adams administration missed legally mandated benchmarks for new bus and bike lanes for the second year in a row in 2023, according to Department of Transportation (DOT) statistics.
The DOT built 31.9 miles of new protected bike lanes across the five boroughs in 2023 — well short of the 50 miles legally required by the city’s Streets Master Plan, enacted into law by the City Council in 2019, according to the agency’s 2024 Streets Plan update, released without fanfare last week.
