That was his transportation secretary Janet Sadik-Khan's idea, give her credit! She was the brains behind all of the Bloomberg safe streets / cycle network stuff. And she did it on a shoestring budget. He gave her a few million bucks for paint and she created hundreds of miles of bike lanes.
The billionaire giveth, and the billionaire taketh away.
Bloomie's daughter was in charge of an update of the City's payroll. It ended up costing the taxpayers about a billion and people were indicted.
