NYC 311 system is moving to use NYC.ID but this one pothole form is still stuck in 1997. @vinbarone.bsky.social when will this get fully moved into 311?

This pothole has annoyed me for a long time. Finally reporting it. DM2025318004

Report: 94% of World’s Transit Lines Operated by One Person Hochul Should Veto Bill Requiring Two See our statement on the new, important report out from NYU Marron's Transit Costs Project buff.ly/Umk9Dc0

"Daylighting Works" - says the one individual responsible for bringing a daylighting bill to a committee vote.

Fresh Kermit got fixed here. Hopefully as it cures these colors will match up.

You know what would be great? If Staten Island had it's own traffic regulations so we could make our streets more dangerous by allowing right turn on red lights. - 2 NYC Republican Council Members and 1 Democrat intro.nyc/1469-2025

When I go to a new subway station in NYC I play a game “how long till I see a car on the sidewalk” as I walk out Often it’s zero seconds.

I believe we need affordable housing for all - not just artists. I struggle to think of changes to allow more housing that wouldn't be better if just allowed universally. I'm curious to see what this bill is when it's posted today. gothamist.com/news/manhatt...

The bent license plate doesn’t seem to be helping with this vehicles $4,649 in fines

And in New York? Our version of this legislation (S4045/A2299) was first introduced in 2023, it passed the NY Senate this year and was apparently blocked by Speaker Heastie because it didn't get a vote.

Far too often, you see a sports car with New York registration on the windshield, but no front license plate. (No tickets yet for this vehicle)

The City Council Transportation Committee will vote on a single bill tomorrow - Intro 79 from CM Restler to expand pedestrian lighting in commercial corridors

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

DOE managed to issue everybody new placards the same week they go into effect - and somehow NYPD cannot do the same. Also, DOE placards all list the authorized license plate now. @nyc.streetsblog.org

The 4 bills Eric Adams veto'd on the way out the door

people who don't actually want to live in a city - let alone the largest city in united states - should actually leave or come to grips with the fact that they want to live in a city.

This paint grew gets a D- fresh kermit was painted up to the squiggly "temp" bike lane marker - not to the actual guide line 🤦🏻‍♂️ (they got it right two blocks down on 9th Ave)

My expectations were low, but former DOT Commissioner Hank Gutman actually has a lot of sound advise for our next DOT Commissioner.

Not “75 co-conspirators” the pardon is a blanket pardon for “all US citizens … in regards to the 2020 election”

On the other hand, the Republican candidate got only 7.11% of the vote so the non-republican vote was a respectable 92% in NYC.

Manhattan should be a Low Traffic Neighborhood.

One advantage of biking for transportation as a family - and having 4 bikes with solid stands and cafe locks - is we don’t need a bike rack.

I vote:

Parked on a sidewalk? Summonsed. NYPD responses are improving under Commissioner Tisch. 311-25102420

Digging through some unpublished drafts - found this unpublished piece about a gap in the 9th Ave bike lane. Now it's a protected lane on the back side of Moynihan Train Hall

While I disapprove of this approach, I think this is as much about her boss not stepping in to say not-that-way. That can change in 54 days.

It’s worse than you think. This is his lawyer Rita Glavin who has been paid tens of millions of dollars to smear me and the other women who came forward. She has led his taxpayer funded litigation abuse of us all. And here she is at the loser party with him.

Eric Adams decided to use his last weeks in office to betray all women on behalf of big corporations. Today he vetoed the Cabán-Farías Pay Equity Package, which is designed to shrink the gender pay gap.

No, a bulge in your pants is not, by itself, sufficient justification for stop and frisk. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that a "mere presence of 'any large bulge in any man's pocket'" is not enough to constitute reasonable suspicion.

Some parking enforcement data without context

It’s happening.

When New Yorkers ask "can I get a triple?", it's not about espresso.

NYC’s first triple wide bike lane??

Has New York Democratic Party chairman Jay Jacobs resigned over Mamdani yet? I hope he hasn't, so that he can instead resign over *improving Republican margins over Trump 2024 in an anti-Republican wave election*. Trump won Nassau by just 4%—now look at this bloodbath

“Why, then, would Congress have thought it necessary to specifically add a provision making those noncitizens subject to mandatory detention if they are charged with certain crimes?” wrote Liman, a Trump appointee in the Southern District of New York. “The government has no answer.”

DOT has protected bike lanes on 34’ wide streets. This is a 34’ wide street. Put two and two together. There is no “in our professional engineering option a protected bike lane is not needed” that justifies this

Another DOT violation of the safety checklist. If you can’t figure out how to add 6’ for a curb side bike lane between a 14’ sidewalk extension and a 13’ parking lane I don’t know what to tell you. It’s not about the space. Every street deserves safe cycling infrastructure.

“I try to keep my focus similar to that cover on The New Yorker where the world ends at New Jersey.” Such a good quote from @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and exactly how a Mayor should focus themselves. gothamist.com/news/mamdani...

It took @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social all of a week to clean up borough hall sidewalk parking after Eric Adams. Will @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social be able to do the same cleanup after Eric Adams and end sidewalk parking around precincts in a week by ordering NYPD to park legally?

A check on @streetspac.org City Council endorsements for open races & challengers ✅ District 2 Manhattan - Epstein (78%) ✅ District 13 Bronx - Shirley Aldebol (51%) ❌ District 19 Queens - Ben Chou (42%)

Let's see, does the NYTimes have the "most detailed map of NYC mayoral election" www.nytimes.com/interactive/... or does CUNY's @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social map provide *just a bit* more detail (20 filters, multiple overlays, direct comparison w/2021 results)? www.electionatlas.nyc/maps.html#!N...

Quite literally the opposite of a windshield view taking power at City Hall. Finally.

This is the best I’ve felt about an election in a long time. ✅Mayor with kindness and integrity. ✅Housing 2-5. It’s not even close. I don’t even know what to call this feeling.

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

Well it's clear to me what happened here, Andrew Cuomo's inspiring message to New Yorkers is clearly resonating and driving turnout to record highs.

I'll do the math for you. 459,745 election day votes as of noon today.

If you feel strongly about avoiding punitive enforcement, speed limiters (ISA) - which are already standard in the EU and on bike/scooter share everywhere - are the way.

I want to write more about this (and other) data - but I'm just going to sit on it till later this week (or next). No sense trying to publish till after the NYC elections. I'll probably publish it here jehiah.substack.com
