Episode Details

Manhattan’s 116th Street is getting a major overhaul with two and a half miles of new bus lanes, bike paths, and pedestrian upgrades—designed to slash commute times for 65,000 daily riders across ten routes. Buses here have been crawling slower than a person walking, prompting the mayor to call it broken—and this redesign aims to fix it with priority signals, offset lanes, and safety features. Cyclists will benefit from protected lanes and new parking connecting to Randall’s Island, while walkers get 35,000 sq ft of fresh space and safer crossings. Construction wraps by fall, so drivers brace for detours.
