On September 14, 2011, DOT selected Alta Bicycle Share to run NYC's new bike share system.
Bike share is a privately-funded & operated, city-supported, program that adds a new affordable option to getting around New York City. Think Zipcar with bikes, and you don’t have to bring the bike back to where you started! Alta Bicycle Share will run, manage and maintain the bike share system, while NYC DOT will coordinate community outreach and regulate station siting.
“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.

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.”

7 Days to #25MPH: "New York City is full of life. People everywhere, with places to go and things on their mind. It may be a child chasing a ball or someone running late, whatever it is, it shouldn't be the last thing they do. When we're driving, we need to slow down and pay close attention. We owe it to ourselves and our community." ~ Max & Isis, Brooklyn (originally posted 11/1/14)

The NYCDOT Art Program partnered with the International Studio and Curatorial Program to present Egyptian artist Mohamed Sharkawy’s work “Birds,” a series of six decorative panels along the corrugated metal fence at Vernon Boulevard and Queens Plaza South in Long Island City, Queens. Inspired by Egyptian wall painting, Sharkawy reduces each form into flat silhouettes in order to render recognizable images. The fanciful bird scenes reference the lives of birds that migrate through New York annually. Sharkawy’s birds express freedom and movement along with stillness and meditation.

Artist Rena Leinberger transposed images of the veiled environment behind a fence on Vernon Boulevard and Queens Plaza South onto its face. She took six photographs shot in documentary fashion of the view beneath the Queensboro Bridge. These photographs were then re-photographed with everyday objects, in a state of falling, in front of them suggesting precipitation, celebration, and elusiveness. Never the artwork nor the scene they depict can ever be viewed in entirety, partially obscured by the flurry.
