Now this is how you clear a bike lane

Re Pulaski connections, McG (s bound) is plowed). 11th St LIC still showing virgin powder

Just saw the bike plows out on Grand St. now. Supervisor was with the plows and asked a car parked in the bike lane to move. But he gave the movers a pass, and so a huge snow pile got left there and a delivery cyclist had to merge into traffic. And nobody got a ticket afaict, just a talking-to.

Someone should inform Sean Butler, Hochul's spox, where his boss's plan to zero out certain victims of traffic violence came from. Then he can speak more thoughtfully about "[a]mbulance-chasing trial lawyers and their army of well-paid lobbyists." (Uber, it's Uber.)

Pulaski Bridge is passable by #bikenyc, mostly in single track conditions Walkway is also single file as of late morning (ski tracks observed on the ped side btw)

Mayor Zohran Mamdani told reporters that the city stepped up its snowstorm response after getting criticism over how he handled the last storm. youtube.com/shorts/caUKa...

It's no wonder that reporters peppered the mayor with questions about whether he had "learned" from the first storm (in fairness, a very different storm, but still ... this is Lindsay's New York, after all). buff.ly/znVu98b

Would Mayor Zohran Mamdani consider enacting a travel ban to non-weather events to benefit public safety? @realgershkuntzman.bsky.social asked at today's presser. youtube.com/shorts/FJRfe...

Our crews are working very hard to clear snow from stations and prioritize rider safety. We’ll keep everyone posted on reopening timelines. We appreciate your patience!

Noticed this afternoon that the Grand St. bike lane had already been cleared. It took days, maybe more, for plows to get at it after the January storm.

Mayor Mamdani's response to the latest blizzard was informed by his somewhat-criticized performance during the first storm of his tenure, leading to increased staffing and pay for emergency shovelers and a complete ban on private cars using public roadways overnight. buff.ly/iKX9zvW

Trail report: ❄️West St good conditions - track in ❄️ Franklin St - damp under the surface - sidewalk better bet ❄️Kent Ave - good, but howling wind

Mayor Zohran Mamdani wants to fill a budget gap identified by fiscal watchdogs as a roadblock to making buses faster and biking safer.

New York City's smaller neighbor was able to make big streetscape changes by centralizing planning for public space under one role.

Mamdani deserve credit for the quick wins, but there's only so much he can accomplish by reversing the mistakes of Eric Adams.

Streetsblog spoke to ETA about monthly caps. While better, ETA recommends steeply-discounted prepaid monthlies. Before OMNY, a NY monthly pass cost 46 rides. In contrast, the Continental European range is 15-30, encouraging ridership while discouraging evasion. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/02/18/a...

Instead of improving safety, the lower speed limit undermines a century-old cycling tradition, misapplies state law and sets a troubling precedent for recreational cycling in New York City.
