There needs to be a safe way to cross the street in Central Park, and right now, there isn't one.
There is literally no place to cross where you are safe from cyclists who don't slow for anything -- including wheelchairs, crutches and strollers. And cyclists aren't shy about yelling at other cyclists who slow or stop.
The level of hostility toward speeding cyclists in Central Park and Riverside Park is staggering, and the rejoicing over this recent crackdown is considerable.
I know it's popular in this group to say "cars are worse"; but honestly, in this case, they aren't. Most cars stop at red lights; in Central Park, bicycles never do.
I don't know what the answer is; I'm sympathetic to cyclists who want to train, but the park needs to be safe and pleasant for everyone, not just cyclists.
