A BID (business improvement district) - and there are more than one I’ve been informed, so this isn’t the ones that it isn’t, whoever they are - has made the complaint that a bike lane is hindering business for shops along 5th Avenue.  Their proposal is to impose some ‘bike lane’ that just has bikes riding with traffic, so it’s easier for trucks to double-park for deliveries (I don’t see how this is any different than just getting rid of the bike lane and putting cyclists at the mercy of drivers who often seem to see them largely in about the same capacity as bugs against a windshield)
