Happy Ingrid Lewis-Martin’s birthday to those who celebrate.

Sure, the Mets pre-season play has been pretty good so far, but let's never forget how we got to this place: "First, you let the Polar Bear go/Then you did the same to Nimmo": open.spotify.com/track/7MjTiE...

Serious question that my Brooklyn peeps will understand: What is the Barbes or the Jalopy Theatre of Washington DC?

This guy gets it.

Would Mayor Zohran Mamdani consider enacting a travel ban to non-weather events to benefit public safety? @realgershkuntzman.bsky.social asked at today's presser. youtube.com/shorts/FJRfe...

We’re live with the mayor. #ThisisStreetsblog

Once again, I'm anchoring the @nyc.streetsblog.org Stormtracker 2026 coverage! youtu.be/pfN2KFFuGew

How is the non-essential roadway travel ban going? @nyc.streetsblog.org sent me onto the streets to find out as part of its "Snowpocalypse Team Coverage":

Why is Lyft covering up useful way-finding maps with ads? Find out in Gersh Kuntzman's latest episode of "Old Man Vertical."

Hindy Schachter is an American hero. Through epic pain, she can still see the issue of street safety clearly.

After her husband, Irv, was fatally struck by a cyclist while on a run in Central Park, Hindy Schachter set out to prevent future tragedies. Hindy doesn't see an e-bike ban or speed limit as the way to make the park safer — instead, she advocates for a better design that works for everyone.

New!!! The New York Cycle Club sued the city over the 15 mile per hour Central Park speed limit.

We hope you will consider Streetsblog at your disposal: nyc.streetsblog.org/category/iss...

People who drive a motor vehicle: agree or disagree? When you are driving a car, you are driving a deadly weapon. That's why you have to avoid pedestrians and bicycles, *even if the cyclist or pedestrian is breaking laws.* The law gives them right of way. You're driving a weapon and they aren't.

I'm actually fine with an MLB salary cap if it comes with a cap on ticket prices at like $25 for the best seats and $5 for the worst, and free MLB tv with no blackouts. How will teams make money you ask? That is simply not my concern.

Every time I hear Steve Cohen pretend the Mets are a better team now than last year, I recall the Jimmy and the Jaywalkers song about the Mets off-season sham: open.spotify.com/track/7MjTiE...

Wow.

Weird how all of the skills were transferrable.

Reminder, great new job posting at Streetsblog: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Pitchers and catchers reported yesterday, so it's time to re-listen to Jimmy and the Jaywalkers' hit Mets theme song, "Pitchers and Catchers": open.spotify.com/track/7MjTiE...

Hey @thetransitguy.com, what hotel are you talking about here: www.instagram.com/p/DUmMFgfgsU...

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Friend of Streetsblog @richnyc.bsky.social put @citibikenyc.bsky.social to shame as he dug out a rack on the UWS — just in time for tonight's CB7 transportation meeting about the bike share system's poor performance nearly two weeks after the snowstorm. youtu.be/7p5RNjY_Bhg

The news that Juan Soto will move from right field to left (www.mlb.com/news/juan-so...) is a reminder of just how bad the Mets' Hot Stove season is going. And therein lies a great Jimmy and the Jaywalkers song: open.spotify.com/track/7MjTiE...

Jimmy and the Jaywalkers' catalogue is surging right now on the strength of its new single, "Pitchers and Catchers" about the Mets' awful off-season. Why not poke around now: open.spotify.com/artist/2vL7X...

Don't forget this great job at Streetsblog: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Get ready for Trump Station — and there's not much Andy Byford can do about it, is there? nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/02/06/a...

Still no legally required Q4 update on unreadable license plates. @vinbarone.bsky.social @nyc-dot.bsky.social ?

Citi Bike isn't clearing its snow-blocked docks fast enough — but if you're one of its "warriors," you'll get a swag bag. What about the rest of us? nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/02/05/l...

One small thing that individually you can do in light of Bezos and all this mess: 1. Read @literaryhub.bsky.social for everything books: lithub.com 2. Buy from @bookshop.org or your local bricks-and-mortar store. Never buy books from Amazon.

I'm hearing that Lyft is sending out letters promising swag bags to people who rode a lot after the storm ... when the company's snow clearance performance was awful. Did anyone get such a letter?

When @mayor.nyc.gov said he wants world class streets like Tokyo, Paris or Bogota, the predictable elitists chortled, “New York isn’t, harumph, Bogota!” Well, I suppose we can at least dream, right? thecitypaperbogota.com/news/bogotas...

Don’t head crosstown yet, this is what 52nd st parking protected bike lane looks like 10 days after the storm when it’s too narrow to clear. #bikeNYC

The group is named "Citizens for Affordable Rates." What she's proposing would cap insurance payouts if you're hurt in a car accident, in the hopes that car insurance companies, out of the goodness of their hearts, will lower their monthly premiums. Be serious, Hochul.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

As NYC Council Speaker Julie Menin today announces the return of full-year outdoor dining (👍), it's worth remembering what we were fighting for all these years: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN6o...

Jimmy and the Jaywalkers' monthly listeners on Spotify just doubled. Could it be that my new @mets.com single, "Pitchers and Catchers" is taking off? In other words, when will the worst Hot Stove season in years finally end? open.spotify.com/track/7MjTiE...

We have entered an entirely new era of mayoral promo videos.

Why is New York's governor fighting for worse insurance protections for victims of traffic violence? Well, it's all in the name of "affordability." buff.ly/sUTx9nZ

Bad Bunny: Before I say thanks to God, I'm going to say, ICE out. We're not savages, we're not animals, we're not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans.

FREE CITI BIKE! It's four full days after the storm, so join me in sharing the outrage, via @nyc.streetsblog.org about Lyft's awful shoveling job post snow (starring @sophlebo.bsky.social): www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzLm...

With veto overrides getting most of the attention at City Hall today, here are 3 bills being reintroduced to watch. If passed, these 2 bills and 1 resolution will dramatically improve street safety:
