Eileen Murray, founder, owner and Director of Coaching at the New York Gridlock Ultimate (the 1st womxn’s pro ultimate frisbee team in the NY-area), joins The Grit to talk about changing the rules (literally), making ultimate frisbee mainstream, and how the spirit of the game is being reshaped by women. We need new bridges and that’s what I’ve been planning while cooped up during the epidemic. And how do we explain to Jerseyites, sorry folks, no way for you to bike from Jersey City, Weehawken or Hoboken directly to Manhattan’s business district. Buses, Access-A-Ride vehicles, and motorcycles may also use these lanes, per New York City Traffic Rules Section 4-07 (k). Motorists must follow posted regulations regarding the number of passengers required and hours of operation.

I understand getting another lane on the Queensboro is in the works, and the City Council will be announcing a winning design for retrofitting the Brooklyn Bridge by the end of the month.īut, it won’t be enough if we are to grow bike-share from Brooklyn and Queens to Manhattan from 0.5% to the city’s goal of 10% by mid-century. New York Citys high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes provide a faster option for drivers with passengers. I re-engineered the ped-bike paths on the Manhattan Bridge and “saved” the Williamsburg. When I was at NYC DOT, I converted car lanes for bikes and peds on the Ed Koch-Queensboro, and the Brooklyn end of the Brooklyn Bridge. It’s not an either-or, we should do both.
