“As the City works to make New York City better for cyclists, we're working hard to make cyclists better for New York City. Through our free education programs, we've taught bike skills to tens of thousands of kids and adults through the five boroughs, from East New York to Harlem, from the Bronx to Roosevelt Island,” said Bike New York President/CEO Ken Podziba. “Ian Dille said in his Bicycling article that while riding a bike through the City, he felt that he owned New York. But it isn't just a feeling; it's a fact. The City is yours. Get on a bike and go discover it.”
The Animus Art Collective’s installation, Flaming Cactus, transforms ordinary streetscapes through the use of vibrantly colored zip ties affixed to street poles. Originally installed at FIGMENT 2011 on Governors Island, the installation brought its playful energy and whimsy to Astor Place in Manhattan.
The zip ties, once wrapped and locked around the street poles, have tails of excess material. These tails create the effect of cactus needles sprouting from the trunk of the street poles.
In an interview for the Figment Project, Animus co-founder, Preston Dane said, “Our hope is to show that adding art to a community or space doesn’t require a lot of resources, formal education, or even money. Creativity is something we’re all capable of.”

Inspired by Andy Warhol’s work and life, Rob Pruitt created The Andy Monument as a tribute depicting the late artist as a ghostly, silver presence – as a potent cultural force as both artist and self-created myth. From 1968 to 1984 Union Square was the location of Andy Warhol’s Factory where he and his collaborators reinvented the conventional artist’s studio and made history.

3 Days to #25MPH: "When my community suffered a horrible surge in pedestrian tragedies at the beginning of this year, it became clear to me that it was time to take action. That’s why I introduced the bill in Albany to enable the speed limit change, and why I couldn’t be prouder that #25mph is finally happening. All New Yorkers deserve a safe neighborhood to walk, bike, and live in." ~ Assembly Member Daniel J. O'Donnell, Manhattan (originally posted 11/5/14)
The study concluded that Mixing Zone and Fully Split Phase intersections have substantial bike crash reductions following installation. It also found that Delayed Turn and Offset Crossing intersections make cyclists feel comfortable and reduce conflicts with vehicles, like crashes and right of way confusion.

“Keeping New York City’s urban landscape an interesting, attractive place for New Yorkers and visitors has always been a priority for our Administration, and one major way we’ve done it is through public art,” -Mayor Bloomberg.
Brooklyn-based artist Corinne Ulmann specializes in large-scale public art designs. Her Green Screen was one of four winning designs of the urbancanvas Design Competition, a contest to help beautify New York City’s urban landscape with art at construction sites. The competition challenged professional artists and designers to create artwork for temporary protective structures to bring an element of beauty to what is often an eyesore. Green Screen was installed on Thames Street to beautify one of the main entrances to the 9/11 Memorial.
