Coming up tomorrow: the sit-down no one in the room ever expected to actually happen

Gov. Hochul is pushing an Uber-backed plan to limit which crash victims get compensation as part of her proposals to rein in auto insurance costs. The move would shift the cost of traffic violence from motorists and insurance companies to victims, experts warn. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/01/14/g...

Check it out: We're tracking if Mayor Mamdani will deliver where Mayor Eric Adams failed. Plus other news. buff.ly/t5MMMZK

Governor Hochul will announce an extension of the Second Avenue Subway to 125th and Broadway in her State of the State address on Tuesday. buff.ly/2qxRQs6

Still getting used to hearing a DOT commissioner praising congestion pricing. "This project supports congestion pricing by helping more people get into and around Manhattan's core without a car," said DOT Commissioner Mike Flynn. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/01/12/i...

The Mamdani DOT could probably spend more than half the year just announcing it’s reviving projects Eric Adams delayed or outright killed nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/01/12/i...

Condo owners on the Upper West Side want to convert two parking spots at their building entrance into a loading zone, but parking-first Community Board 7 isn't having any of it. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/01/12/p...

New Deputy Mayor Julia Kerson does not hold back “Last year, DOT proposed extending the bus lanes on Madison Avenue from 42nd Street down to 23rd Street. But interference from the last administration caused the agency to miss this painting season, delaying critical improvements for transit riders.”

Ex-Mayor Adams moved to reopen a road inside Forest Park, Queens, to cars in his admin's final days. It would be an easy thing for Mayor Mamdani to undo, as locals hope he will. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/01/09/a...

Kris Kolluri will stay on to head NJTRANSIT AND will lead the NJ Turnpike. Pretty sure this has not been done before, here’s my story on what this means.

The Zohramp is still a trap for bike ticketing stings.

Well

I'm no lawyer, but what? “This narrative is completely false in terms of bribery. You can’t commit bribery on your close friend,” Ciafone said. “This is a witch hunt against Gina Argento, Tony Argento and Broadway Stages.” www.amny.com/nyc-transit/...

As promised, the Mamdani administration will appeal a Queens judge's order to rip out a half-done protected bike lane in the mayor's home neighborhood of Astoria. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/01/07/t...

Mayor Mamdani has said he opposes criminal summonses for bikes, but he is still in discussions with his NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch about the future her controversial enforcement policy launched last year. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/01/07/m...

At the scene of a five alarm fire, officials pleaded, 'stop parking illegally at hydrants because it delays first responders.' The admin is treating this like a problem of individual moral failure, which it is, but also the NYPD could give more tickets and tow more drivers' cars that do it.

!!! Not only is the "jump" dangerous, but the eastbound approach for cyclists seems deliberately designed to direct them into the "wrong" approach lane, where the NYPD loves to ticket cyclists misled by the infrastructure. The long-promised redesign can't come soon enough.

At the Williamsburg Bridge bike path off ramp as crews begin leveling the dangerous downhill “jump.” Hearing that Mamdani is set to announce the city will begin construction on the long promised redesign of this area in the fall.

Look at this shit lmao www.youtube.com/shorts/7mAbN...

As Kathy Hochul goes down the list of people who fought for congestion pricing for decades give a thought to me, Dave, who read about it while working at Office of Bronx Borough President in 2007 and thought “Huh seems cool”

Caught up with Mayor Mamdani's incoming DOT Commissioner Mike Flynn, and asked him how he will run the agency differently than the Adams administration. www.youtube.com/shorts/8t-81...

The city is bringing cars back to a road inside Forest Park in Queens for the first time in nearly six years – with just a week's notice. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/30/d...

the governor of new york state almost canceled this because the guy who runs the diner across the street from the most famous mass transit hub in america didn't like it

Prospect-Lefferts Gardens was gonna get its first protected bike lanes ever but in one final insult, Eric Adams' DOT kicked the project to next year, hopefully nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/22/a...

Story: nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/17/m...

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani will appeal a Queens judge’s order to rip out the 31st Street bike lane in Astoria, he told me at a presser in Greenpoint this morning. He calls the decision “very disappointing,“ adding that he usually avoids riding on 31st because it’s unsafe.

A Queens recently judge invoked a 2009 law to stop the 31st Street bike lane in Astoria, and those city regulations dating back to the Bloomberg-era bikelash still force routine DOT safe streets projects through lengthy outside reviews and paperwork. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/15/d...

Next year's NY State legislative session doesn't start until, well, next year — but our Albany Bureau Chief Austin Jefferson is already covering the latest rumblings up in the capital.

New bus boarding island at 41st Street and Queens Boulevard! The presentation for the Queens Boulevard bike lane in Sunnyside said there were plans for two #bus boarding islands; if anyone has seen the other one, please put it in the replies! #QueensNY #BusBulb #BusNYC

New Yorkers are getting more packages than ever - 80% of households get at least one delivery per week, and 20% get FOUR or more. That's a lot of packages, and a lot of trucks. The DOT's new report gives a good picture of where the city is at, but wasn't the "redesign" advocates hoped for.

As the city is preparing to unveil a small maritime freight pilot today, it's worth keeping in mind that officials decided to add more truck routes. The expansion comes as enforcement against off-route drivers plummeted since 2011, reports @sophlebo.bsky.social nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/11/m...

Seems like there have been near-daily Amtrak disruptions this month, including today while I was en route to the njtransit board meeting, forcing me to divert to the subway and path. Story TK. 🤞 I get to the meeting on time.

NYC Council Speaker Adrienne Adams is ready to sink the universal daylighting bill, despite its majority support, according to advocates. The top lawmaker apparently tried to push an amended bill, favored by DOT, that would do almost nothing. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/09/n...

I will never get over the fact that the MTA runs two commuter rail systems, and they hate each other so much that they disagree on how they spell "railroad".

There have been plans to get cars out of Lower Manhattan since at least the 1960s, and locals hope incoming Mayor Mamdani will finally make it happen, overcoming resistance by big business and car-first bureaucrats. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/08/n...

Read @sophlebo.bsky.social's analysis of DOT's last-minute revisionist history of the Adams Admin's transportation record. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/03/a...

Weird, none of the other city/state/federal agencies I cover have ever called my reporting "going after" them

Good that this is (finally) moving. But let's note that 500 sites in a city our size is a toe in the water, nothing like meeting citywide needs. London is an order of magnitude ahead of this target already (~5,000 sites, and not counting 🚲 parking at transit sites - more of a no-brainer there)

DOT is holding a "State of the Agency," which so far has been mostly people heaping praise on outgoing commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez. Press was also not invited to this event. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvpG...

DOT finally announced a vendor for secure bike parking, but the actual work to deploy them will be up to incoming-Mayor Zohran Mamdani. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/01/a...

It's finally happening: New York City is getting hundreds of secure bike parking lockers. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/01/a...

NYC DOT quietly closed a deteriorating off-ramp of the Henry Hudson Parkway over the summer, and locals want the city to keep it as a car-free extension of Riverside Park. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/01/e...

Menin got over $100K spent on her by Uber, $1,600 donation from Tony Argento, $1,000 from Randy Mastro, no response to questions about it:

New: Con Ed cancelled funding for the NYCHA e-bike charging pilot program. Four NYCHA campuses were set to get outdoor e-bike charging cabinets and storage, but after a year of work the company pulled the plug. The program was scrapped in April with no announcement from the administration.
