The article addresses the challenges present on West 177th Street, highlighting its hazardous conditions for cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers. Factors contributing to the street's dysfunction include limited parking availability due to strict alternate-side rules and the physical constraints of the road. The block serves critical transportation routes linking major locations such as the Henry Hudson Parkway and subway access, yet the infrastructure fails to meet the diverse and busy needs of the community, leaving many frustrated and unsafe.
The street in question, West 177th Street between Broadway and Fort Washington Avenue, is dangerous and uncomfortable for cyclists, pedestrians, parkers, and drivers.
For motor vehicles, the street is a direct link to the Henry Hudson Parkway, two blocks to the George Washington Bridge, and close to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital.
For cyclists, it is a direct link to the south walkway over the George Washington Bridge or a few blocks to a bridge at 181st Street to the Hudson River Greenway bike path.
Before you dismiss the double-parkers, remember that if there is rampant double-parking, there's usually a reason for it.
