New protected bike lanes are now open in Riverdale, officials announced.
The lanes run along Broadway in Riverdale from the Cortland House to the Yonkers border.
Plans to develop the protected lanes started in 2015 after a higher than normal accident rate in the area.
Advocate Amril Hamer, a Bronx organizer at Transportation Alternatives, says having the lanes completed is an amazing feeling.
However, Community Board 8 members have openly opposed the project citing traffic congestion.
Advocates says they hopes one day bicyclists will be able to ride from the Yonkers border all the way to Manhattan.
