6. *Presentation and continued discussion of the NYC DOT proposed redesign of Canal Street from West Street to Broadway and the addition of a two-way protected bike lane on Grand Street between Varick and Forsyth streets. As part of this redesign, CB2 will discuss the dangerous condition at the intersection of Broadway and Grand Street, and the responsibility for the addition of pedestrian safety infrastructure.View CB2’s December 2025 Resolution and the NYC DOT’s November 2025 presentation. When available, CB2 will share NYC DOT’s July 2026 presentation.  Below is NYC DOT’s description of the proposed redesign:
   • NYC DOT is redesigning Canal Street from West Street to Broadway to improve safety for pedestrians, simplify traffic movements, and accommodate an east/west bike connection across Manhattan. This project will add crosswalks and painted pedestrian spaces to shorten crossing distances along the corridor. NYC DOT will also install concrete curb extensions and pedestrian islands at the intersections with 6th Avenue, Varick Street, and on Watts Street from Canal Street to Washington Street. A two-way protected bike lane will also be installed on Canal Street from 6th Avenue to Watts Street, and on Watts Street to West Street.
   • In conjunction with the redesign of Canal Street, NYC DOT will upgrade the bike lane installed on Grand Street in 2008 to a two-way protected bike lane between Varick Street and Forsyth Street. This will create a continuous bike corridor from the Manhattan Bridge to the Hudson River Greenway. This change entails parking removal while accommodating deliveries by adding loading zones on cross streets where feasible. Additionally, flush-painted pedestrian islands will be added at intersections where feasible to shorten crossing distances, and signal changes at Chrystie Street will reduce conflicts between turning vehicles and people on bicycles.
