State judge hits the brakes on 72nd Street bike lane plans for Upper West Side
A state judge issued a temporary restraining order halting plans to build bike lanes on Upper West Side's 72nd Street amid lawsuits from a block association and disabled residents, who argue the design poses safety hazards. The city's DOT defends the project as a safety and business boost, while plaintiffs claim it violates the Americans with Disabilities Act and impedes emergency vehicle access.
