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...

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...

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...

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.

Court St merchants suing the city say they’d prefer an unprotected bike lane, which would bring back unfettered double parking and make the street more dangerous again nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/11/25/d...

This is a pretty popular e-bike brand in New York City and is generally regarded as safe.

When I spoke to AM Novakhov at the Saada family funeral in March he did not support the Stop Super Speeders bill or speed cameras in general. Now, he has signed onto the bill, though it is watered down from its initial strength.

When you ride on #bikenyc paths around the Navy Yard, in Red Hook, Sunset Park & now under the Gowanus Expressway, you can thank @velazquez.house.gov for laying their foundation

It was really fun to talk to journalist Alesandra Tejeda out in the Rockaways for this @nygroove.nyc story. Love the subhead too.

“Absolute lawlessness” and a “bad joke“ is how transportation experts describe the city’s state of placards. They’re calling on Mamdani to finally rein in the parking perk. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/11/20/a...

"One problem with determining how and why bike-share costs are so much higher for users in New York City as compared to other cities is that there is very little publicly available data on how much it actually costs Lyft to run Citi Bike." nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/11/19/c...

Even before the protected bike lane was installed on Court Street, more people got there by bike than by car.

Most people don’t drive to Court Street, and more people biked there even before DOT installed a protected bike lane. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/11/19/m...

"I'm not throwing cold water on any plans, but I just met with the mayor [elect] and we're having really important collegial conversations about his agenda, and so I don't want to disclose anything," the Governor told Streetsblog's Austin Jefferson.

NYC Council members are likely going to water down the universal daylighting bill, with the legislation's sponsor shaming DOT for throwing up roadblocks for the common sense street safety measure. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/11/13/s...

DOT relied on flawed data to claim banning near corners, also known as daylighting, leads to higher injury rates, according to an internal City Council review I obtained. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/11/10/b...
