Regardless of your take on Critical Mass—whether you see it as a celebratory call for a less car-centric city, or an illegal, traffic jamming nuisance—one thing is clear: it demonstrates the ever-growing popularity of bicycling and huge public demand for a safer, more bicycle friendly New York City. Bike Parking Lot, With Attendant, Is Planned for MidtownMedia Hit link: Bike Parking Lot, With Attendant, Is Planned for MidtownMedia Outlet: New York TimesDate: January 17, 2008 City officials have been trying to create more places where New Yorkers can ride their bikes safely, but finding secure places to park them is an enduring problem. Now, a few business executives have dreamed up a private-sector solution: the city's first bikes-only parking lot, complete with attendant. Already, they have cleared the high hurdle of finding available space in Midtown, on West 33rd Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues. All they need is a corporation willing to pay as much as $200,000 a year to sponsor the idea.
