No more V-V-V-V-Varick St. City installing smooth bikeway on cobblestone blocks

The DOT says almost half of the cyclists on this heavily traveled route in TriBeCa are using the sidewalk to avoid the bone-jarring belgian ride.

This from the DOT’s Facebook page: 

“NYC DOT Sidewalks team completed saw cutting, excavation and laying of the concrete base on Varick St. for our first in-house granite strip that makes a Belgian block street segment smooth for cyclists!
