StreetsWiki is a community-created, online encyclopedia for transportation, urban environmental, and public space ­issues. It's a place for ordinary people, planners, and academics to write and read about our cities and how we can make them more livable.

Best of all, StreetsWiki is a Wiki, which means anyone can edit or add articles (think Wikipedia, but for streets). To start editing pages, you'll need a Livable Streets account.

Share your knowledge on StreetsWiki and help our encyclopedia grow. Because the more we know, the better decisions we'll make.

  • Bike Acess to Garages Digested


    by Lily Bernheimer

    Livable Streets Member Bicycles Only has broken down Intro 780 of NYC’s Bicycle Access to Buildings law into plain English in Bicycle Access to Garages Law. The entry explains the types of garages included (private and institutional as well as commercial) and how to file complaints about garages not complying. Excellent links to supporting laws and codes can be found in throughout and under ‘References.’  Thanks to Bicycles Only, you’ve got everything you need to advocate for you garage-parking rights come November 11th!
