Chapter 1 RecommendationsAGENCIESMayor's OfficeIssue a Bicycle Policy Statement affirming New York as a pedestrian- and cycling-friendly city. Statement should explain how bicycling benefits New York City and declare cyclists' right to safe streets, bridge access and safeguarded parking. Statement should adopt ambitious goals for bicycling, e.g., a one-third increase by 1995 and a further one-half increase to 2000 (resulting in a combined doubling from today's levels). Formally reconstitute the NYC Bicycle Advisory Committee under the auspices of the NYC Dept. of Transportation, but with attendance also required by key City personnel (e.g., from NYC Dept. of Environmental Protection's clean air planning group, NYPD Traffic Division, NYC Parks Dept., Dept. of City Planning) and encouraging participation by City Council Transportation Committee Staff and NY State DoT Region 11 Bicycle Coordinator. NYC Dept. of TransportationProvide staff and political support for the DoT bicycle coordinator position, including reinstitution of the bicycle safety coordinator position. Ensure that DoT Bureaus respond to draft NYC DoT Bicycle Policy with detailed plans for bicycle-friendly improvements in construction and maintenance work. City CouncilConvene public hearings to examine the economic and environmental costs and benefits of each form of transportation in New York City — transit, bicycling, walking and motoring — and develop a City Council agenda for transportation improvements in NYC. a) How to Read the Blueprint b) The Importance of Integrated Bicycle Planning c) The Practice of Integrated Bicycle Planning d) Bicycle Planning in North America e) Bicycle Planning in New York City f) The New Transportation Planning Environment g) The Benefit-Cost Advantage of Bicycling for New York City Chapter 1 Recommendations
