I would be willing to bet that local ownership is much higher than the overall average for the borough.

Manhattan has the lowest car ownership rate, followed by the BX, then Brooklyn..Queens is a little higher, and not surprisingly, Staten Island has the highest. Even in SI however, it is lower than the national avg. Of course, there are certain neighborhoods where car ownership is higher than others, but in the Bronx as a whole, & NYC as a whole, if you own a car you are in the minority.

I doubt it, but I'm not sure. Is there any county in the US with higher car ownership than the Bronx and Manhattan? I doubt it, but I’m not sure.

Combining traffic calming measures along with bike lanes is perfect. We need more in the Bronx. I just wish the proposed bike lanes were more like those on 9th Ave...protected.

As I said above, we were wrong about the car ownership statistic. We say three lanes because the above diagram shows two moving lanes and a turn lane.

I'm also curious about the car ownership statistic... I would be surprised if the NE and NW Bronx didn't have some of the highest car ownership rates in the city, but I could be wrong.
