Manhattan and Brooklyn's top prosecutors are backing a budget proposal that would stop excessive speeders from endangering communities. empire.streetsblog.org/stop-super-s...

Faster buses are coming to Flatbush Avenue! The Mamdani administration announced today construction will resume at the end of the month to deliver protected, center-running bus lanes from Livingston Street to Grand Army Plaza. This will be a transformative upgrade for the corridor.

Sickening. "The Toyota driver... received 184 moving violations and parking tickets prior to the crash, and 14 SUCH VIOLATIONS IN THE MONTH SINCE THE CRASH.... Wood received a puny $250 fine for striking Thébault and her son." cc: @nyassemblymajority.bsky.social nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/09/m...

Does anyone actually read those emails we send to elected officials? Or do they just disappear into a spam folder somewhere out in cyberspace? 🤔 Let's find out! We emailed @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social about Fair Fares then went to their office to see where it ended up. youtube.com/shorts/huFD3...

Big congrats to Oonee co-founder "Manman" Mansylla on designing and engineering the city's first rest stop for delivery workers. From the city's first pedestrian plaza to street seats and secure bike parking, he's been a quiet, progressive force on NYC streets for years!

New York City's 80,000 delivery workers finally have a hub to rest and charge their e-bikes. But who's ultimately responsible for providing this much-needed infrastructure: the City, or the companies that send them out on the streets? @sophlebo.bsky.social reports: youtube.com/shorts/WztLC...

"Transit is 95% safer than cars, without a single algorithm. If AVs pull riders off the subway and onto robotaxi apps the safety math goes in the wrong direction. Switching passengers from cars to AVs may save lives, but taking them from transit will cost lives." nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/08/w...

Let's hope there will be many more of these to follow!

That's insane.

This is the only way to get better bike infrastructure and maintenance. The people in power have to actually bike (and not just an annual photo op)

It was the sixth fatal crash involving a company awarded rights to operate in the new zone system. The truck belonged to Royal Waste -- which won rights to some zones after its owners made big contributions to Eric Adams' election campaign. gothamist.com/news/trash-h...

NYC is finally rolling out its latest commercial waste zone. On Sunday, the death toll from private garbage truck crashes since the reforms were announced climbed to 10. gothamist.com/news/reforms...

I wish anyone who likes riding bikes who comes to NJ to see the world cup lots of luck

A real good open street is one where you can walk six abreast and still have room for #bikenyc to get by on the right! Enjoying today. No real filming on @34ave.bsky.social documentary but I am nearing the 45 minute finished mark, will be 1 hour+!

For the first time after 12 years biking in NYC, I was hit by a driver. Some off-duty cop with a placard on the dash and obscured license plate who made an illegal left from the center lane on a red arrow. Fortunately I was able to walk away just a bit banged up, but still an infuriating experience.

Oh great, we’re shaming drunk pedestrians now when drunk drivers still exist.

Horrible. Could this have been avoided if it wasn't taking the city a decade to roll out its commercial waste zone program? The Queens West zone hasn't been implemented yet. www.nydailynews.com/2026/04/01/q...

“When mayors in other cities ask me how #Copenhagen afforded to invest in its cycling networks, I ask them how on earth they have been able to afford highway projects. We invested in bike lanes because that was the cheapest option.” What the world can learn from Copenhagen’s cycling revolution.

Here's an idea for lowering the cost of auto insurance in New York State: actually do something about this type of blatant criminal fraud.

Today I turn "60 minus 1". Friday I was walking wearing a STREETFILMS t-shirt and got stopped by Phil, a guy who has been watching my stuff "forever". When we parted ways he said he's happy he met "the OG Urbanist Youtuber"! I said I'd post that. @bicycledutch.bsky.social could claim that too!

perfect weather last night for a bike ride home

We’re building the Manhattan-side bike lane and pedestrian entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge in time for the World Cup. New Yorkers deserve to enjoy the game on their feet, on their bikes, and with ease.

Paris Votes for People-First Streets — Again. momentummag.com/paris-votes-...

We need to stop prioritizing parking lots over people. Today, I assembled a roundtable to discuss our Building Up Illinois Developments Plan — and the consensus was that we need to act fast. Looking forward to passing it and getting to work in our neighborhoods.

got harassed on twitter by Sid Rosenberg and John Chell today and all i got was an admission that NYPD won't issue you a traffic ticket if you listen to the right talk show or have the right job nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/03/25/f...

Paris is in the process of building 4 new subway lines covering 120 miles of track and serving 68 new Metro stations. New York City should be able to add 4 stops by extending an existing subway line along an existing right of way. Can we have just a little ambition? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/n...

An investment in public transit is an investment in a more affordable New York. That's why we're asking for a 15% increase for upstate public transit agencies in this year's budget, promoting equity in job access, educational opportunities, healthcare, and so much more.

Picking up my kid from school today and some guy had his Jeep fully parked across the crosswalk right in front of the schools with kids walking into the street around it. Crossing guard ignored it (Can’t blame her). also saw a different jeep nearly kill two teens in a crosswalk this morning.

It's still early, but Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker might have given us the Worst Transportation Idea of 2026 h/t @wtyppod.com www.inquirer.com/education/ub...

Gas prices, welcome to The War on Cars.

despite being concentrated in ameria’s largest cities, america’s media is terminally car-brained

The driver "backed up through the intersection and ran over Terrill Jenkins, who was in the crosswalk around 4:49 a.m. [He] then drove forward and stopped the truck at the corner, got out and checked on the victim, then got back in the truck and drove off." www.nydailynews.com/2026/03/21/t...

The (Socialist) Mayor-elect of Paris!

“A hardworking deliverista struck by an out-of-control driver high on PCP in Harlem was killed on his son’s 10th birthday and the boy still hasn’t been told his dad is dead.” www.nydailynews.com/2026/03/22/e...

Paris’s transportation and public-space transformation under Mayor Anne Hidalgo has been truly stunning. We can do this too, NYC. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

There are about two dozen active bills in Albany right now focused on some version of requiring licensing, registration, and insurance FOR E-BIKES.

"Crosby's car had a South Carolina plate with three local speed-camera violations on it since late November, according to city records." The real insurance fraud is the epidemic of out-of-state registrations, not staged crashes. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/03/21/d...

FSS members spent months going to community boards, successfully securing resolutions of support for Sammy’s Law implementation Their energy and advocacy was certainly a key driving factor in the timing of this announcement says our executive director, Tom Devito www.nydailynews.com/2026/03/16/m...

NYC DOT just moments ago presented a plan for more bike + pedestrian space on 9th Ave - a street I ride on daily - to Manhattan CB4. A 9' wide bike lane provides space for passing - and DOT deserves credit for widening bike lanes in manhattan in the past few years.

We need more streetcorner recycling bins!

Who shaped the future of NYC transit? These incredible women at @rpa.org did👇

Cities spend millions on plastic flex posts that get flattened in a week. Meanwhile, the cheapest, most effective design tool is a boulder. They protect people, enforce behavior, and actually survive doing their job.

Huge news! @mayor.nyc.gov right now announcing a major effort to reduce speed limits to 15mph around the vast majority of city schools. youtu.be/p4IntPpIqQ4

Norman's piece is right on: car free watch parties all over town is exactly how the city should celebrate the World Cup Also: boycott Trump-bootlicking-FIFA official fanzones Mamdani linking free buses to sports events in NJ subtracts a lot of the urgency of "economic relief for struggling NYers"

Amy Cohen went on a 100-hour hunger strike to pass Sammy's Law. But the Adams administration only implemented it on less than 2% of eligible streets. @mayor.nyc.gov Mamdani, we're counting on you to save lives by bringing slower, safer speed limits to streets across New York City.

Business is booming on Hudson Street! Thanks to a 2022 renovation that reimagined "the narrow and congested blocks into a boulevard with improvements including a parking-protected bike lane, more benches and wider sidewalks."
