Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo will be in NYC for the Clean Cities Campaign talk, "The Paris Effect." Tickets still available apparently: cleancitiescampaign.org/climate-week...

Our story: usa.streetsblog.org/2025/09/22/h...

this is actually my great frustration of walking around in new york.

In order to enforce the newest delivery worker minimum pay laws, DCWP needs more funding. The agency's low budget, less than 1% of city total, has left it struggling to respond to worker abuse complaints.

The budget shortfall has left the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection struggling to respond to worker abuse complaints — and to now sound the alarm against its own mayor, though not in so many words.

"Much this conversation around e-bikes and e-vehicles focuses on individual actions and infractions," said @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social "And one of the things that I will do is focus on the systemic drivers of this chaotic streetscape, one of them being the app companies."

Forest Hills's Austin Street went pedestrian-only last weekend, showing the potential of the people-first version of the commercial street that neighborhood activists have pitched for years.

Truck traffic on the Bronx leg of the Triboro Bridge is down this year, belying forewarnings that congestion pricing would funnel trucks into and through the embattled South Bronx communities of Mott Haven and Port Morris, compounding endemic pollution, noise and road danger. buff.ly/G2tHuPo

We don't need to pile on since we've already reported so many measures of how badly the mayor is at building bike lanes, how slowly he's building bus lanes, how he decides on safety measures based on vibes, and how corruptly he is overseeing the process of making the city safer. buff.ly/UcA2IKU

My newest op-ed, in @nyc.streetsblog.org: nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/09/15/w...

Officers in New York State crashed their official vehicles, hit other motorists and arrived to work reeking of alcohol. And yet, they sometimes evaded criminal punishment, an investigation found. nysfocus.com/2025/09/09/n...

"As a legally blind Staten Islander who doesn’t drive, navigating our streets is not just inconvenient — it can be dangerous. Every intersection is a calculated risk. "That’s why... the Universal Daylighting Bill, is a proven tactic of traffic science." www.silive.com/opinion/2025...

The Adams administration's much-delayed changes to the way commercial trash is collected aim to rein in the chaotic carting industry by reducing reckless driving and cutting truck mileage. But Brad Lander's office raised serious qualms about how Mayor Adams has overseen the process.

NYC's push to get trash in bins may take 7 years due to parking concerns, report says https://gothamist.com/news/nycs-push-to-get-trash-in-bins-may-take-7-years-due-to-parking-concerns-report-says

Four Freedoms Park is one of the uncelebrated joys of NYC, reached only by pedestrians and micromobility, unspoiled by cars:

Finally, the carriage horse issue has made its way into the mayor's race

The M15 in Manhattan moves nearly 17 million annually, and still doesn't have bus lanes on its entire route. Objectively, what are we doing here?

It's worth a little extra time and money to get bus rapid transit right in Brooklyn.

NYC DOT has unveiled a proposal for safety and public space upgrades along Canal Street. See the block-by-block proposal here: www.nyc.gov/html/dot/htm... And either come to one of the in-person meetings or fill out the online survey with your feedback.

The number of people who rode NYC’s subway on Monday is greater than the population of any other city in America

The bid for a Times Square casino has been denied after a final vote this morning.

"It’s just important for us to realize there’s sacrifices we have to make, and these bins don't take up all the parking spaces, and it's a good trade-off," said Mayor Adams at a presser in Fort Greene Park. "We want cleaner streets, that's one of the top things we hear."

Yesterday's big crash was just the latest example of an impotent system that can't even keep known reckless drivers from getting behind the wheel to maim and kill again. buff.ly/TF6b2Ng

Did you like what you saw from Sean Manaea tonight? We did. And we loved riding the subway with him, too: nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/09/12/m...

JFC. New York should be increasing the amount of commercial and residential loading zones, not allowing them to become parking spaces. A smarter bill would go after the predatory companies that use our streets to make their profits and force them to provide basic services for their drivers.

DOT warns against a Council bill which would allow FHVs to park in commercial loading zones. Uber and Lyft have over 80K drivers on the road, in contrast to around 13K taxi medallions. The companies don't provide "bases," all are competing for the few city run Taxi Relief Stands.

Great thanks to @stephennessen.bsky.social for riding with @bergenbikebus.bsky.social last week! And a reminder #BergenBikeBus is organizing a #KidicalMassNYC ride this Saturday, along #BrooklynGreenway #BerrySt www.wnyc.org/story/a-bike...

NYC people: I have a talk at TOMORROW 9/17 at Cordelia, 942 Bergen St, Brooklyn. Nearest subways: C/S at Franklin Avenue.

This piece highlights many of the things NY could be doing to make its buses better: * More and better (physically separated) bus lanes * All door boarding * Balancing bus stops for quicker service. All doable changes that could transform how buses move through the city.

"This is weeks' worth of caked-up litter, shit all on the sidewalks that we constantly ask about. Sanitation can't get a broom on here because MTA worker cars are always there," @cmsandynurse.bsky.social said during a land-use hearing last week.

Asked about potential parking backlash, Adams says: “It's just important for us to realize there are sacrifices we have to make. And these bins don't take up all the parking spaces, and it's a good trade-off.”

They're delivery and freight loading zones... not passenger loading zones.

Mayor Adams is set to announce the expansion of containerized garbage collection to Brooklyn Community Board 2, which includes areas like Fort Greene, Cobble Hill, Downtown Brooklyn, Brooklyn Heights, and Boerum Hill

The congestion of this year's Gridlock Alert days could have been a lot lighter if Gov. Hochul hadn't shelved the MTA's power to raise congestion tolls up to 25 percent on those days. buff.ly/say2QZO

A push to ban parking at intersections and improve visibility, also known as daylighting, will need more City Council members to sign on to a bill to overcome a likely veto by Mayor Adams, according to lawmakers and advocates. buff.ly/ZlieHF9

From this morning’s commute on 2nd Ave. This is like when scaffolding comes down after decades, and you don’t recognize the building anymore. Are they gonna repaint this stretch? Time will tell!

Sean Manaea is just another guy on the subway... youtu.be/bmT8bBikeJk?...

Some news: This winter Team Oonee is launching NYC's first Dutch-Style🚲 parking hub in Brooklyn's Sunset Park. The Hub will provide free parking for 100+ bikes/scooters, and will include safe charging, and appt based repairs + lite service. This will make history in several ways. More deets in 🧵👇🏾

Sat. Sept. 20! Join the Brooklyn celebration of global KiDICAL MASSive rides! Sign up & more info. www.bikebus.nyc/events-2-1/g... Starting points near the Navy Yard at 10:45 or from Williamsburg waterfront at 11:45. #BikeNYC @brook @bikenewyork.bsky.social @nyc.streetsblog.org @tabk.bsky.social

We need more (and better) bus lanes, an expansion of all-door boarding, and to remove duplicative bus stops in order to bring the MTA's bus system up to par with our peers across the Atlantic.

A Council bill that would give app delivery workers "just cause" protections against deactivation by companies like UberEats, DoorDash, Instacart, GrubHub, and Relay faced fierce opposition by those very app companies.

"Drivers along four more MTA bus routes in Queens and the Bronx will begin receiving warning letters if they block bus lanes or bus stops, officials said. After a 60-day grace period, fines will kick in along the Q6 line in Queens & the Bx20, Bx3 and Bx7 in the Bronx." gothamist.com/news/bus-lan...

Dropped by the Austin Open Street in Forest Hills to get a pulse on the years-long movement to do something about the strip. I beleive at the very least the street should go 1-way & sidewalks widened! @pwbnyc.bsky.social @pjrt.dev @openplans.org @nyc.streetsblog.org @belleoflonglake.bsky.social

"Ginning up a moral panic over public transportation is a thinly veiled pretext to starve it of the resources that could make it even safer." @via @katearonoff.bsky.social

The Court Street bike lane (being implemented now) plus the greenway over the Gowanus Canal/under the expressway adds a nice protected corridor to Brooklyn's #bikenyc network
