the bike lane is on the left. there are cars illegally parked in it. The narrow strip is not the bike lane, its the door zone, a 3 ft setback between the parked cars and the bike lane.
The street redesign doesn’t even reduce car capacity. It still has two lanes for cars, and parking on either side, it gets the space by not having unnecessarily wide lanes.
I mean, if the picture in the thumbnail is the bike lane… They might have a point. I wouldn’t ride in that.
I blame the judge though for a dumb decision - the street should instead just be remade so the lane is on the side rather than in the middle of cars.

In the article there’s the actual and the proposed structure of the road (https://lede-admin.nyc.streetsblog.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/48/2025/04/31st-St-diagram.png). What you see above is a buffer zone that divides parked cars (right) from the actual bike lane (left, even though there are cars parked).
