he New York City Department of Transportation has been getting a lot of attention over the past four years, instituting sweeping changes to city roads, from bikes lanes to bus technologies to a car-free Times Square. But some of the most travelled roads in the city – the FDR, the BQE, the West Side Highway, parts of Queens Boulevard — aren’t the City’s at all. New York City’s highways are designed and maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT). In addition to coordinating all transportation policy for New York State, the agency is responsible for those thoroughfares that we depend on but rarely consider as part of our urban experience (unless we’re stuck in traffic).
