DOT unveiled design concepts for its Queens Waterfront Greenway, with some bold bike path proposals. But the safety upgrades drop off in the district of CM Vickie Paladino, who had fomented a bikelash against the plan. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/06/10/p...

Folks, it’s finally here: the plan to fill in the Ashland Place bike lane and send Crashland to the land of wind and ghosts nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/06/04/d...

“People said businesses will suffer, safety will be compromised, especially for pedestrians, and there will be more congestion — and in every case, it’s proven to be unfounded.” nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/06/03/u...

The company that makes the illegal stand-up electric scooter used by one of the victims of last week’s deadly head-on collision on the Queensboro Bridge bike path has added a warning label on its website after reviewers alerted the manufacturer to Streetsblog’s coverage. buff.ly/5TiqsBN

City lawmakers are taking another go at banning car parking within 20 feet of all crosswalks for better visibility, also known as universal daylighting, as the Mamdani administration's DOT continues the Adams-era tradition of opposing the policy. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/06/01/c...

The Council's Finance Chair Linda Lee extensively questions DOT about its red light cameras, asking for alternatives and if the agency can extend yellow lights. DOT notes that the cameras are highly effective, with 96% of drivers not getting more than two violations. www.nyc.gov/html/dot/dow...

It's Memorial Day weekend and almost 1,000 New York City restaurants are still waiting for their outdoor dining permits thanks to a whole mess of bureaucratic hurdles set up by the previous mayor and City Council. www.youtube.com/shorts/qdtCu...

If Mamdani wants to bring low-traffic neighborhoods to NYC, there's no better place to start than Queens, where the city has already rolled out key elements of the traffic-calming design. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/05/20/m...

Whoa! When did @nyc-dot.bsky.social install this actual bike lane on Henry Street in Brooklyn Heights? It’s amazing how moving the parked cars off the curb makes a cramped sidewalk space feel so much more open when combined with outdoor dining.

The rate of drivers killing and maiming children in south Williamsburg is baffling nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/05/01/s...

This was gone this morning. Thanks @nyc-dot.bsky.social for acting swiftly!

I guess the city has given up and is telling cyclists to pick up all the trash on the Brooklyn Bridge bike lane themselves.
