Huge News: Zohran just promised to finish McGuinness the second it's warm, and to do Universal Daylighting *BEFORE* people are killed

Bike lanes are supposed to be for all ages and abilities, yet we all know the sporadic and unprotected way they've been rolled out excludes so many from considering it.

With the ground temperature too cold to paint bus or bike lanes, the city should be out aggressively re-timing lights for Green Waves

This wont get anywhere near as much attention as Zohran of course, but is also hugely important if you care about the future of this city. So good to have a great Comptroller taking the reins from Lander.

After he has a chance to settle in I want to hear a lot more from the new commissioner. I want to hear not just how we're going to be more efficient, but how the city plans to truly scale up the amount of work that needs to be done to transform our streets.

A remarkable trend that will come as a shock to you if your only info about NYC is from this Fox News. Homicides in NYC... 1990: 2,262 1993: 1,927 1998: 629 2001: 649 2013: 335 2019: 320 2021: 488 2024: 382 2025 (as of 12/28): 302

As door hits him, Eric Adams says he will move on to fighting antisemitism with cryptocurrency. Classic. Really going to miss this guy. hellgatenyc.com/eric-adams-s...

New York City is in a transition phase, and the results could be amazing...

After Zohran encouraged me to put together a plan at one of our events I showed him this and have been continually updating it since. With 2 days to go, here it is, all in one place. miserplan.carrd.co

Highways have no place in modern cities. It's time we replace the West Side Highway in Manhattan

Zohran takes office in 3 days with a mandate for change. Including changing our streets. Help him and help people see the possibilities

Maybe in 2026 New Jersey can be a big boy state, stop the highway expansions, and start building pedestrian and micromobility crossings across the Hudson

I make a lot of dumb stuff in attempt to bring the fight for better NYC streets to everyone. This time of year I like to look back and recap all the crazy shit we forget through the year miser-2025.carrd.co

Congestion Pricing's first year couldn't have been more successful. Never forget we had to fight city reps, the state, and the president for this.

The problem with Bluesky seems to me that people just don't subscribe to new people here very often. They make a list when they join and then rarely change it. Compared to my real platform on Reddit, subscriber numbers rarely ever move here. I just don't see how this is sustainable for a platform

I don't think people realize how close we came to cars utterly destroying NYC like so many other American cities

The "professional" advocacy groups are all out begging for money this time of year and heading off to vacation. I just want New Yorkers to realize those of us that live here have power. We can demand and get the things we want. We in the grassroots can make this city better

Trump had Adams kill the 34th st busway. I bet Zohran restarts it week 1.

Zohran is going to be remaking school streets all over the city like Paris famously did. Hype train boarding now.

This greenway route the DOT has proposed is a love letter to NYC - [10 second clip]

This proposed greenway is going to be such a banger

Nobody would build a highway (that doesn't even carry trucks) on the Manhattan waterfront now, yet removing it seems unthinkable to people

If these failed Robert Moses Projects existed today people would fight to justify them the same they do all the rest of our stupid, destructive car infrastructure...

This insanity is caused ENTIRELY by abundance of private car parking and lack of loading zones (and lack of those because of lack of NYPD enforcement)

Reminder, me and my reddit community keep a completely 'up to date at all times' map of the NYC bike lanes and greenways. earth.google.com/earth/d/1WAa...

Thanks to those that run Open Street for another year done. Every neighborhood should have one of these

To please rich donors Adams watered down the 5th Ave project. The minute he's gone, let's throw his plans out and do this.

Crazy Shit files: A 1924 Proposal Would Have Drained the East River to build giant highways and a new City Hall

How does outright racism not get you thrown out of the council? Paladino has been doing this for years. Chuck her ass out

Pedestrianized Times Square could be so great...

Janette Sadik-Khan wanted to pedestrianize the viaduct above Grand Central, the nation's second busiest train station. This is a layup for the next Commissioner

In a totally different Quantum Reality where Robert Moses built infrastructure for the residents of NYC instead of suburbanites trying to drive in

Weather Report in NYC: Slushy, but totally rideable. (At slow speeds)

Park Ave used to be an actual park. It could be again.

It's not actually hard to fix the city's problems if the incoming Mayor and DOT Commissioner want to.

Flowing up on our boycott of the suburbanites that sued to kill the 31st st bike lane, Brooklyn residents have started a boycott of those trying to kill Court st: www.reddit.com/r/Micromobil...

Despite ending up with 29 Council members supporting, the Universal Daylighting bill will not be passed this year. daylighting.carrd.co

Every block needs 2 or 3 loading zones.

Tragically, one of the mated pair of swans that lives along the Astoria greenway has been killed. Likely by a shithead throwing a rock while it slept.

I wish we weren't having a bullshit ebike moral panic. This is how I prefer to travel, even in the cold, as my time is valuable. This is how we take our kids to school. We're faster than the cars since we're not space hogs. #BikeNYC.

Astoria is PISSED at the suburbanites that sued to make our streets more dangerous, holds massive rally in freezing temperatures.

If I were Dot commissioner, this is how I'd execute Zohran's promise a school street outside every school

Having now read the decision, two things are clear 1) the Judge has made significant factual and legal errors and 2) She has chosen to do what she acknowledges is not proper for her to do - substitute her judgment on street design and safety for @nyc-dot.bsky.social's. 🧵

Since FDNY operations are the most important thing, I've got the perfect solution I'm sure we can all agree on:

ICE has kidnapped a 6 year old child in NYC. For all those tough guys that talked big about how they would have found fascism and secret police, now's your chance.

If your building catches on fire, you better hope there's a bike lane there responders can use instead of just traffic and double parked cars everywhere

The 31st Street ruling killing the bike lane might be one of the dumbest ever, because it's not just an error of judgement, it's an error of geometry!

The court docket doesn't say anything yet, but a TV reporter is claiming the 31st St bike lane has been killed. If this is real and isn't overturned on appeal (how even can a bike lane plan be arbitrary and capritious?) NYC can't build anything anymore because a handful of suburbanites can just sue

Let's stimulate those brain cells responsible for imagination

I'm not saying we should, I'm just saying we could.
