This is what they sued to stop? Seriously? Court street is done. It's beautiful

Zohran Mamdani won a historic victory yesterday in New York City's mayoral election, and 17 of our 18 endorsees won their races up and down the ballot, proving once again that safer streets and better public transit aren't just good policy – they're good politics! www.streetspac.org/2025_general...

This is my main take away from this election. Urbanism and Micromobility are a main consistency in NYC now. We've fully burst through to the mainstream and can deliver for candidates, like we did for Zohran. Politicians and the media might want to take note

Once again, the big divide in NYC:

Coumo makes good on promise and flees to Florida with supporters

Absolutely fucking nothing is getting done in Astoria tomorrow. Please everyone be quiet between the hours of 11am and 4pm

Astoria's Zohran watch party is so over packed that the backup bar (also a huge beer garden) is now full and virtually every bar in the neighborhood is reportedly filling fast

Democrats better hope Zohran wins this one, otherwise it's going to depress turnout for a whole generation. If the left can't even win after a historic campaign of this magnitude with this much participation and enthusiasm what is the point in even getting involved in politics in the future?

GO VOTE: THINKING ABOUT VOTING IS NOT VOTING

A bold closing surprise from the Republicans. Let's see the effect on older Democratic voters who might have actually voted Cuomo...

Hey journalists in NYC, can you wake up? MAGA Council Member Vickie Paladino and her son are actively trying to intimidate voters before the election

WOW. Reports of Vickie Paladino and her son (and white supremacist) Tommy attacking Ben Chou's volunteers are pouring in. This could get really ugly.

Bluesky is basically unusable during big sportsball games

Got to admit, it's weird to have a sitting Council Member send out a fake newspaper full of defamatory lies (to fool elderly people in her district) using me personally as a scape goat

Still crazy that gutter ass racism is on the ballot in NYC

You've probably seen these, but I humbly still think these are the 2 best videos about Zohran if you need a reminder of why everyone is excited to vote:

If you get your ass to the polls before 5pm today you can even get this banger of a sticker:

NYC, GO VOTE

Car parking is like an infestation. It just grows and grows until you kill it all, even in "car free" central park.

Ben Chou mocking Paladino is everything I need right now

Cuomo's whole strategy is getting Republicans to help him overturn the will of his own party's voters. How does this not piss everyone the hell off?!

Daylighting is back into passing territory! But we still want to get Gale Brewer back on board

The value of #schoolstreets #openstreets #plazas cannot be measured by cranks. But ask children - they know our streets are out of balance. Broadway near UnionSquareNY! #Urbanism

Ben Chou attends Queens Greenway workshop, flips table, stands on chairs to make crazy pronouncements, and fights with attendees. Just kidding, he calmly participated like a normal person.

Hi diddly ho, fellow whites, whitest guy alive here that married an Indian girl. Brown people call literally every female older than them Auntie. You'd know this if you had ever spoken to even a single one of them like a fellow human.

Live comedy about NYC bike lanes and Robert Moses? Hell yeah. Why not. Perfect comedic topic. THE POWER JOKER - featuring myself and @realgershkuntzman.bsky.social

When are businesses going to learn people don't actually want to go to or shop at streets like this?

Someone help me out here. So supposedly the ebike speed limit in NYC is being changed to 15mph today, but only for ebikes. Not cars or regular bikes. So when riders see this sign, (which is the one actually posted all over) how are they even supposed to know?

The next Greenway Workshop is Tuesday. Ben Chou will be there. You can come watch Vickie Paladino crash out in person, like last time:

The transformation of Montreal continues! This new protected bike lane was installed this summer. Here’s a before/after. I can tell you which one I prefer.

Everyone in NYC needs to get involved in helping getting rid of MAGA lunatic Vickie Paladino from the Council www.reddit.com/r/Micromobil...

Why are so many projects just straight up sharrows in 2025? What is going on? (Woodside Ave)

Does anyone else feel like the way Cuomo constantly mentions how Donald Trump is going to "take over New York City" feels like a threat. It's like we're being blackmailed by this jackass and his puppeteer

Exactly this. Too many advocates think if we can just do one more white paper or make the data a little more convincing or do one more fierce tweet we can convince people of our rightness. None of that matters, you have to build an army if you want to win battles.

NYC drops the speed limit to 15mph... but only for electric micromobility, not cars. This is backwards...

We're like 3 months away from the Statue of Liberty's decapitated head floating in New York harbor

The Republicans that are inflicting this on America and those supporting it are not Americans. They are traitors.

@americanfietser.bsky.social pointed this out the other day, but did we just stop making cars in colors? They are all so damn ugly and generic now.

😃Because of the new Court Street bike lane in Brooklyn, I rode a bike on NYC streets for the 1st time in 25+ years. Court Street bike lane ==> I can ride to my place in a protected lane, where previously Court Street was a dangerous mess*. The cars aren’t speeding anymore, either! 😃

Car storage is just a straight up infestation

They weren't kidding about this war on cars thing

This isn't a new issue to anyone paying attention, but honestly how does this asshole see even the car in front of him, much less people in crosswalks? Is that not considered a problem for modern regulators?

The goal of good infrastructure is freedom from fear. At 6 months pregnant, my wife can ride because this physically separated path eliminates the threat of motorists. ​This is what women in advocacy fight for, not just paint, but genuinely safe, forgiving spaces that enable true mobility choice.

A moment's appreciation for the coolest dads and their daughters I've seen in NYC yet

America's patriots take Times Square

Trump demanding we terminate a bus lane, and our dumbass mayor doing it, is not just academic. It hurts real New Yorkers in countless ways.

In case anyone needs a reminder why NYC is doing the 34th st bus lane that Trump just got stopped

Maybe this will finally make it clear to the people that have been fighting bike lanes, bus lanes, and other urbanism in NYC that they are basically MAGA useful idiots?

NYC is ready once again. NO KINGS Protest, tomorrow 11am, Times Square.
