Check out this plan to step up parking enforcement in Chicago - the idea is to augment the police dept with new civilian parking agents, to respond to complaints like 🚘 🚛 in 🚲 lanes Despite headline, it seems designed not to reduce PD responsibility but to add resources & quick response capacity

Oil spill snarls traffic on Manhattan's First Avenue, turns block into slip-and-slide https://gothamist.com/news/oil-spill-snarls-traffic-on-manhattans-first-avenue-turns-block-into-slip-and-slide

We don't need to pile on since we've already reported so many measures of how badly the mayor is at building bike lanes, how slowly he's building bus lanes, how he decides on safety measures based on vibes, and how corruptly he is overseeing the process of making the city safer. buff.ly/UcA2IKU

If it's basically bike-width, it's OK with us! @curbed.com www.curbed.com/article/amaz...

On the unmet need for safe bike storage: "Results suggest a relative undersupply of bicycle parking at destinations compared with free car parking [and] an increasing need for bicycle parking for costlier e-bikes." findingspress.org/article/1442...

Court Street protected bike lane is on the way! Temp markings are down to guide crews installing the final product. Hopefully will be finished in the coming weeks. This is going to be a huge improvement on what should be a safe neighborhood street. Proud that our community board supported this.

Some news: This winter Team Oonee is launching NYC's first Dutch-Style🚲 parking hub in Brooklyn's Sunset Park. The Hub will provide free parking for 100+ bikes/scooters, and will include safe charging, and appt based repairs + lite service. This will make history in several ways. More deets in 🧵👇🏾

For those of us who live on or near Court Street, this all is going to be a game changer. Thanks to @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social and everyone who has fought for better bike infrastructure in this neighborhood. Especially as school is back with zillions of parents and kids biking! Love to see it!

NYC cyclists protect kids headed to school in Brooklyn’s ‘Bergen bike bus’ https://gothamist.com/news/nyc-cyclists-protect-kids-headed-to-school-in-brooklyns-bergen-bike-bus

The Court Street bike lane (being implemented now) plus the greenway over the Gowanus Canal/under the expressway adds a nice protected corridor to Brooklyn's #bikenyc network

As another prolonged closure looms, New Yorkers deserve a safe and reliable way to travel through this section of the Greenway. Sign our petition now: act.transalt.org/a/save-fort-...

We need Greenway connectivity! A few @NYCgreenways members mapped out some issues and opportunities on the Henry Hudson Pkwy. Sign up for the Coalition’s email newsletter, which will launch soon to stay up to speed on Greenways advocacy: greenways.nyc/newsletter-s...

NYC Greenways Coalition members at work, scouting a greenway detour on abandoned Riverside Park pathways near the GWB -- for the day when Amtrak closes (for rebuilding) ye olde wooden plank bridge. It's doable! @transalt.org @ny4p.bsky.social @eastcoastgreenway.bsky.social #Greenways4NYC

Project outline shows the city would make the Grand St bike lane two-way. Which is great, as long as it is widened @nyc.streetsblog.org @nyc-dot.bsky.social

By Owl's Head Park, the first of almost 50 new Citi Bike docks for Bay Ridge is getting its install today

One really feels safe riding in the Protected #bikenyc lane

Good to see @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social doubling down on street safety. Now I hope this means #bikeNYC lanes (alongside bus lanes) even in the extremes of the outer boroughs, where this infra is far more sparce than within or adjacent to Manhattan. youtu.be/8Tee4dzv0Bs?...

Ridiculous stuff like this is why DOT should simply implement the bike network. Sure, people should have input. But on the details of HOW it happens, not WHETHER it happens.

We said this was going to happen, but Mayor Adams didn't care: Cyclists are being forced into dangerous traffic by all of the double parking on three blocks of Bedford Avenue where the mayor ripped out a protected bike lane.

Great News: The 3rd Ave bike lane has been extended up to 125th St, including the GREEN WAVE. Time to test it

Seeing a Commercial Observer piece on a new Oonee 🅿️🚲 installation (this time in a new residential or mixed use building) but paywall 🤷‍♀️ commercialobserver.com/2025/09/oone...

This is why we take the lane

Dramatically improved, ADA compliant curb and sidewalk upgrades are now open linking DUMBO, and the Sands Street, Jay Street, and Manhattan Bridge PBLs 🚲 👍🏻

Another fatal dooring crash. Negligently dooring a cyclist is in fact illegal (*Dooring* is the correct verb here, not *rider slams*) But also *** Don't Ride in the Door Zone***

I’m still waiting for a protected bike lane on the other 3 sides of Central Park

Such a policy would lead to great protected lanes around the city, including a certain Drive along the Upper West that is routinely declared a greenway "detour" but has no bike lanes at all right now If only we had something like a "street master plan"

DOT wants to add a two-way, protected bike lane to McDonald Ave., next to Green-Wood. This is a good project that will literally keep people out of the cemetery. www.nyc.gov/html/dot/dow...

The age-old #bikenyc lane story - so tedious @nyc.streetsblog.org nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/09/08/d...

We have yet to ride the full bikeway on the QB Bridge without pedestrian still walking there (they have a full lane on the S side of the bridge now) Markings could be updated overnight, signage reinforced & @nycdot.bsky.social could be doing a lot more to let the public know the bridge has changed

#POV #bikeNYC westbound on 34th Ave, left side #bikelane.

Motorists make the case for more solid, protective infrastructure design every single day. No need for studies. No need for community feedback. Just build the damn infrastructure.

@nyc.streetsblog.org quantifies the likely extra injury crashes NYC has seen thanks to the "Public Safety Mayor" Eric Adams City Hall predictably tries to shoot the messenger

Our Twin Lights Ride is back Sept 7 with 5 different routes www.letsdothis.com/us/e/2025-tw...

Sadly, NYC has no functional strategy to explicitly link 🚲🚲🚲 and transit, despite its various commitments to both modes

The city has ceded Foley Sq and its crosswalks, ADA ramps, and hard-won pedestrian refuges and bike lanes to NYPD and its infinite supply of panic gates despite no protest activity in months. Anyone in gov’t care? @nyc.streetsblog.org @kevinduggan.bsky.social @emilylip.bsky.social @dmey.bsky.social

Where do folks want to see the next Green Wave corridor applications (other than “everywhere” 👍) Central Park West & 4th Ave Brooklyn are high on our list #bikenyc

To make this a more effective safety strategy, it would help if DOT actually informed people this is a thing (old pic from the N Point St in SF)

Lots of talk about controlling bike speeds. What if there was a carrot vs the fantasy of an enforceable speed limit? The city has indeed timed signals on 3rd Ave for a reasonable 🚲 speed Here's 32 blocks all on the green. Savvy riders figure out there's no incentive for throwing down here

That thriving subtropical #bikenyc vibe

The author writes: “The politics of bike lanes have become a stand-in for something larger: who city streets are really for.” Well, city streets are for everyone to use safely, & should be designed & shared fairly among all users. That shouldn’t be controversial.

In case you haven’t been shaken by it yet, a good part of 2nd Ave is *milled* Scene at 95th

Leading mayoral candidate @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social renews his pledge to complete the McGuinness Blvd road diet, following allegations the Adams Admin took bribes to water down the project

Imagine destroying everything you've spent decades building to stop a bike lane. That's exactly where Broadway Stages's Gina and Tony Argento find themselves, indicted by DA Bragg for bribing an aide to Mayor Adams to get her to block the safety redesign on McGuinness Boulevard. buff.ly/OcXZBFh

Maybe this sounds familiar: Bike infrastructure get proposed as part of a street redesign. A small group of confused but VERY vocal individuals begin making a lot of noise about how no one wants this, no one will use this, it will literally cause the sky to fall. 1/4

You GOTTA read the indictment against Broadway Stages for bribing Ingrid Lewis-Martin: nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/08/21/r...

Although @nyc-dot.bsky.social #bikenyc work on 31st St in Astoria has been temporarily halted by the courts it'd seem the majority of residents already know where they should park and respect the lane. This is extremely good. The fringe people suing will certainly lose.

Anyone see any of these, outside of the downgraded Adams blocks on Bedford? nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/06/12/d...

Let's share some ❤️ today for @carlinarivera.bsky.social. She has announced she is moving on from her Council seat Carlina's been one of our very best friends in public office An official who knows the city from the saddle of a 🚲 and uses her authority to make it all work better is simply the best

Today's Friday video is an instant classic from Summer Specialist Yoshi Omi-Jarrett. Join Yoshi as he watches cops entrap cyclists at the Williamsburg Bridge. Bad design. Bad policing. Bad result. Great video:
