Thanks for the update. I've not (yet) biked this segment since the improvement. Even in the before-times, I found 6th Av more inviting / less threatening than 8th Av. Not on every block, but mostly: 6th Av's sidewalks are wider — sometimes, much wider. There's less motivation and certainly less need for pedestrians to use a bike lane as a sidewalk extension. Also important: with Central Park closed to cars, it seems to me there's less car traffic on 6th Av.
