An Anonymous Group Is Fixing Bike Lanes Where New York Isn't
The “Transformation Department” has challenged the city’s commitment to cyclists.
They showed up on the street on the morning of October 7—25 orange traffic cones marking the bike lane that runs northbound on Chrystie Street in lower Manhattan. Several had sunflowers poking up out of their necks.
The cones were the work of an anonymous group that announced its intentions on Twitter, calling itself the “Transformation Department.” Later they performed a similar action on Carlton Avenue in Brooklyn. This week, they were on Bleecker Street in the Village. They are posting pictures of the effects of the cones with the hashtag #demandmore.
