The super speeder proposal will apply to drivers with 16 or more speed-camera violations in a 12-month period, mirroring regulations agreed upon in the version the state Senate passed last year.

Mayor Mamdani must revive the Third Av redesign in Brooklyn, after Eric Adams abandoned the deadly corridor, Sunset Park residents say. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/05/05/s...

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.

Eh

Hochul and state lawmakers are looking at tightening state auto insurance regulations that allow insurers to jack up rates by 5 percent a year without approval, reports @joncampbellny.bsky.social gothamist.com/news/car-ins...

New York's auto insurance regulations are supposed to divert excess profits back to policyholders, but the state's threshold is so high that it's never been invoked. Leading lawmakers and consumer watchdogs called the supposed backstop an embarrassing joke. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/28/h...

The ads for "billboard lawyers" are all over MTA's buses too.

"It’s near-impossible to ride public transit without encountering splashy ads from attorneys who, as the head of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority puts it, “seem to think the MTA is actually spelled ATM,”" reports @jmartineznyc.bsky.social www.thecity.nyc/2026/04/27/m...

Mayor Mamdani condemned Staten Island cop James Giovansanti’s 547 speed and red light tickets as "unacceptable," when I asked him about it today, but he declined to say whether the lawman would face any discipline. -- w/ @dmey.bsky.social, @jktrotter.bsky.social nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/24/u...

The Mamdani administration is shifting the focus of the city's commercial waste zones to safety and cutting vehicle miles – but only for two outstanding contracts, as most carters were hired under Mayor Adams despite their bad records. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/22/t...

Staten Island traffic cameras have caught a white RAM 1500 pickup truck blasting through school zones or running red lights more than 547 times since 2022. The truck belongs to James Giovansanti, who lives and works there as an NYPD officer. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/23/t...

Can we get the pace of street, plaza, greenway construction to be measured in years rather than decades? If you want streets that are the envy of the world, this is the challenge @nyc.streetsblog.org @kevinduggan.bsky.social

State Senate Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins questions Gov. Hochul's claim that fraud is squarely to blame for rising auto insurance costs empire.streetsblog.org/andrea-stewa...

Pretty bizarre show of force from FDNY here, as @dmey.bsky.social reports. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/22/q...

Mayor Mamdani picked a top DOT official to head the city's delay-plagued capital construction arm, the Department of Design and Construction. The incoming commissioner, Paul Ochoa, told Streetsblog he's eager to speed up buildouts of transportation infrastructure. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/22/e...

Auto insurance rate evasion via false addresses and out-of-state license plates surged under Gov. Hochul’s watch, yet she has released few details on how she plans to deal with it beyond a task force. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/21/a...

America’s largest bank is expanding its data center in Orangeburg, NY, near the New Jersey border. In exchange for $77 million in tax breaks from the state and county, the bank promises to create exactly one permanent job. My story in @nysfocus.com: nysfocus.com/2026/04/20/d...

I was there to do some reporting too, not just to get a shoutout from the mayor. And guess what? Curbside trash bins have made the streets safer where they went in! nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/17/c...

An Uber-backed astroturf group is sending out emails from the dead to support Gov. Hochul's car insurance proposals. empire.streetsblog.org/fake-emails-...

Crashes and serious injuries dropped 15 percent and 52 percent respectively in West Harlem after New York City swapped vehicle storage for curbside trash containers, according to data crunched by @davecolon.bsky.social nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/17/c...

Reading between the lines of recent @nyc-dot.bsky.social community board presentations reveals a more confident agency under Mayor Mamdani than under Adams, with DOT actively pushing back against overblown and downright false narratives that bike lanes worsen traffic or block first responders.

Gov. Hochul could cut auto insurance premiums and slash what she considers “runaway litigation” if NY followed the European and Canadian models that consider motorists liable in crashes with vulnerable road users by default, due to the inherent danger of driving. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/16/h...

Even Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has to deal with drivers parked in the bike lane

The MTA has been one of the most vocal supporters of Hochul's Uber-backed push to deregulate auto insurance, but the agency's talking points paper over a lot of crucial context, as Streetsblog Albany Bureau Chief Austin C. Jefferson reveals. empire.streetsblog.org/analysis-mta...

hello today I wrote about something that's been driving me crazy lately: the proliferation of beloved local businesses turning to off-putting AI slop. I sat down with one of them to ask why nygroove.nyc/local-busine...

A no-brainer!

Very interested to see what the output is here. I'm certain it will be most effective if it is accompanied by a new Office of Aggressive Ticketing & Towing

The city just put out a job posting to lead DOT's new Office of Curb Management. cityjobs.nyc.gov/job/assistan...

Gov. Hochul’s auto insurance agenda follows a coast-to-coast campaign by Uber to shield itself from lawsuits, relying on a tort reform playbook common to industries like Big Tobacco, fossil fuels and auto manufacturers. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/08/h...

Mayor Mamdani is launching an Office of Curb Management, consolidating different parts of DOT to better regulate the city's 6,300 miles of curb space. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/07/e...

Some extremely exciting news (🧵): The MTA is looking for a vendor to redesign our website! Ours badly needs a refresh—I manage it, I'm allowed to say that—and my dream is for a site that's modern, accessible, user-friendly, and that incorporates our very iconic design and branding.

Mayor Mamdani has yet to earmark funding for DSNY's burgeoning waste containerization program, after former Mayor Adams failed to dedicate money beyond a pilot program. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/02/t...

The CitizensNYC grants will cover up to $20,000 — the same amount of money the city contributed in years past — for open streets groups to pay for staff and management, programming and maintenance.

Found an old blog post from Relay's CEO, Alex Blum, where he described doing a winter delivery shift before the company took off. "There is not a lot of empathy in the life of a delivery guy," he noticed.

Went on a ride along with a Relay worker back in February, a lot of what I noticed then led me to the investigation into the subcontracting. The story explains how hard it is for delivery workers to understand how they are getting paid. Relay shuts down its New York operations tomorrow.

"Grubhub, which also owns and operates Seamless, 'outsourced' to Relay, another delivery platform, 'to stem elevated driver pay costs,'" reports @sophlebo.bsky.social nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/03/31/m...

Gov. Hochul has made cheaper driving a key plank of her "affordability" agenda, after millions of dollars in campaign donations by Uber. She has deployed state agencies she controls to advance her push, along with a steady clip of rallies and ads. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/03/30/s...
