EDC Moves To Remedy South Street Bikeway Road Block

Thanks to prodding from T.A., the City Economic Development Corporation (EDC) is trying to find a way for cyclists to safely bypass the makeshift fish market parking lot on the South Street bikeway. A verbal agreement between the EDC and the Fulton Fish Market allows market customers picking up fish to block the 2 block section of the South Street bike lane from RF Wagner Square Place to Peck Slip from about 3am to 11am on weekdays. Unfortunately, this means the lane ceases to exist during morning bike commuting hours.

The EDC is looking into solutions which include forging a compromise with the Fish Market to keep the off-street bikeway clear or creating a connection to an on-street bike lane.

Let the EDC know you support their efforts to find a workable solution to the blocked bikeway.
