I live beside the Brooklyn bridge and regularly walk and bicycle it. Especially summer evenings, it is almost unusably crowded. Commuting pedestrians have trouble getting around tourists; tourists can't enjoy themselves becuase they can only walk 1-2 wide; bicycles need to constantly ring their bell so space will be made.

I am very excited to see a proposed widening of the path on this list, and hope it is given high priority. Please fight for it!

When adding construction, on-street parking should be the first to go.

Very often, I see construction obstructing the sidewalk, a new sidewalk created in the bicycle lane, bicycles and cars forced to share, and on-street parking maintained on the opposite side of the road. The on-street parking should be removed and vehicular traffic routed through its location, so the bicycle lane is preserved.

Greater enforcement of double-parking would be a money-maker.

Based on my daily commute, I can point out blocks that consistency (>80% of the morning) have double-parked cars: the NYPD could recoup the price of hiring an extra officer through the tickets.

NYPD themselves is one of the greatest offenders when it comes to double-parking. I see a NYPD vehicle double-parked in a clearly non-emergency case at least once every 2 weeks. Unfortunately, I don't have any ideas on how to change it.

Bicycle police could enforce parking regulations, and can easily place their bicycles on a sidewalk or in front/behind the illegally parked card. They can have electric bicycles so it doesn't get too tiring biking all day.
