The delineators will resemble the latest Department of Transportation project on 8th Avenue
On Monday the NYC Department of Transportation will begin installing a new style of traffic delineator on the south side of Grand Street to further separate the protected bike lane from the traffic lane. Upon completion in approximately a month’s time, Grand Street’s bike lanes will have an almost complete barrier from traffic.
The delineators’ role blocking traffic from the bike lane will resemble the latest major DOT Vision Zero project completed on 8th Avenue in Times Square between 38th and 45th streets with modifications specific to Grand Street and its streetscape.
The delineators will be placed at the edge of the buffer zone, 11’ away from the curb and will be interrupted for curb cuts, bus stops, and intersections. Motor vehicles will not be able to drive over the delineators and regulations prohibiting stopping/standing/parking in both the bike lane and buffer zone will continue to be enforced. The parking rules on the north side of the street will remain in place with commercial loading zones in effect from 7am-4pm and 1 hour metered parking from 4pm to 10pm every day except Sunday.
