These officials got the wheels in motion early.
Proponents were celebrating in advance Tuesday over the expected passage of New York City’s bicycle access bill. It comes before the City Council on Wednesday.
Under the proposal, commercial buildings must allow workers to bring their bikes into the office — if their employers approve. It does not require the buildings to create storage.
The measure aims to improve public health, reduce carbon emissions and provide a cheaper commute.
It’s being championed by Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan (SAY’-dihk kahn) and Acting Deputy Health Commissioner Andy Goodman, among others.
Council Member David Yassky introduced the bill.
