9.21.20 - Lyft unvels ‘Resilient Streets’ plan to fuel cycling boom post-COVID-19
'As New Yorkers have displayed a hesitancy to get back on the subway with lingering COVID-19 concerns, Lyft has come up with an engineering plan for streets that will give cyclists and scooters space to safely move.'
'“The pandemic has created a transportation inflection point for our cities: do we stick to the status quo or do we make it possible to easily and safely get around without owning a car?” Caroline Samponaro, the head of Micromobility Policy at Lyft, said. “Micromobility has proven itself to be a core part of creating a resilient transportation system in our cities, but sustaining the boom will require a dramatic reimagining of our streets. To support resilient cities, we need to create resilient streets.”'
