Are we ready for automated over-length enforcement yet?

The city could also ban cars and trucks for a day or two to help alleviate the impact of driving on air quality…. But even when the sky isn’t orange, air quality can be bad. We need to reduce VMT overall to save lives and build a better city!

Congratulations to Patrick Martinez, who has won the Democratic primary for Queens’s 30th Assembly District after a recount! His victory closes the book on our primary endorsements, with a whopping 22 wins in 28 races! Progressive transportation policy wins elections. queenseagle.com/all/2026/7/1...

the mayor restricted car traffic during this year’s snowstorm and he should be doing the same now. we can’t stop a wildfire in Canada but we can limit our own pollution.

Debuting 1st on Bluesky! Our 1st public segment from our 34th Ave doc looking at urbanist Donald Appleyard's invaluable research of 3 SF streets and how much comfort, happiness and the number of friends is determined by car throughput. @openplans.org @thewaroncars.bsky.social @nyc.streetsblog.org

for years the right has shared memes/fantasies about running leftists over with cars, GOP even passed state legislation allowing it against protesters notable ICE now using clearly fake narrative of immigrants/protesters (Renee Good) trying to run agents over as justification for murder

This NY Times piece on the recent success of Democratic Socialist candidates highlights two excellent ones who also earned our endorsement, @bojak4assembly.bsky.social and @mobreezy213.bsky.social. DSA has really embraced progressive transportation policies. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/12/n...

Over and over and over again. Infuriating bsky.app/profile/grav...

30% of MTA camera fines in March 2026 took 13+ weeks to process. April, May, June violations all have not been processed and don't show in open data. What is delaying processing camera violations @mta.info @nycdotprojects.bsky.social ?

"Our data shows that every year in the United States, vehicles crash into commercial buildings and related structures more than 100 per day... These incidents result in as many as 16,000 injuries and more than 2,600 fatalities annually." www.storefrontsafety.org

Heartbreaking and maddening news out of Boston 💔 Louisa, like too many others, should still be with us. Rest in peace, Louisa, and thank you for the work you did for safer streets in Boston.

My friend is dead. A driver, through neglect, recklessness or malice, has killed Louisa. I’m beside myself with grief and filled with righteous anger at a city that has stalled and slow-walked safety improvements for all road users. Louisa should be here with us.

Here it is! The first official trailer for "Close Encounters of the 34th Avenue Kind". Check it out! In the attached post you can find a direct link to Streetfilms webpage that talks about how you can arrange a screening in your city and plenty of other information!

This is also a powerful reminder that progress like this does not happen because good ideas simply appear at City Hall. It happens because riders organize long enough, loudly enough, and strategically enough to change what elected leaders believe they owe the people who rely on buses every day.

"The plan’s backbone is a unified effort of the city Department of Transportation and the MTA to identify 50 bus priority corridors across the five boroughs where buses are currently the most delayed, with the goal of speeding up those buses by 20 percent." nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/07/08/t...

Despite most residents on the Lower East Side not owning a car, Clinton Street is dangerous and hectic from all the cut-through traffic. A Low Traffic Neighborhood would make it safer and more welcoming for residents and visitors! https://bit.ly/4vYvZUe

BIG NEWS: Route 9 complete streets project lands $25m for final design & implementation in Sleepy Hollow + Tarrytown! A surprise to local officials. Few details available. Guessing covers Pierson Ave to Benedict Ave. /via US Senators Schumer & Gillebrand www.schumer.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

US fully electric vehicle market share was 5.8% in June 2026, down 1.7% points compared to 2025. 78% of cars sold were fully fossil powered. www.nada.org/media/19766/...

This is a solid and even-handed article. I'm glad it makes 3 important points: 1. Many kids are riding high-speed e-motos and not e-bikes 2. The e-bike panic has the potential to hurt riders who depend on these bikes 3. Kids want to and deserve freedom of mobility without cars!

Couldn’t agree more, though ye olde DOT “brownies” only enforced parking, not any moving violations. A Mayor who barely acknowledges PD’s existence & the fact that the public should be far better served for $6 billion/year will fall short on “streets that are the envy of the world”

“His depraved indifference to pedestrian safety lays bare the crime scandal that the press rarely talks about: that the NYPD have virtually stopped enforcing traffic laws.“

Winning an election is exciting. Living up to the trust people placed in you is what really matters. I'm grateful for everyone who believed in this campaign and I'm ready for the work ahead.

Happy Connecticut Parking Reform day to all who celebrate! 🎉 Starting today: ➡️ no mandates for developments 16 homes and under *statewide* ➡️ right-sizing parking for 16+ developments More homes (especially more infill homes!), less unused parking 👏

"I do like biking past them." ❤️

“The city’s transition away from the car, tho fantastically chaotic, has become a global role model. Under mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social, Paris was ‘the most influential city in the world’ says Canadian urbanist Brent Toderian. Hidalgo, stepping down after 12 yrs, exulted: ‘The bike beat the car.’”

Tomorrow evening we're co-hosting a fundraiser for State Senator Andrew Gounardes, who's running for re-election in November. No one has done more to advocate for safe streets in Albany over the past eight years than Andrew. Join us! secure.actblue.com/donate/ag-bd...

DOT is looking for feedback on the proposed Bergen/Dean bike boulevards. Please submit via the portal. Folks are already freaking out and going to extremes about them, so we need cooler heads to offer support and constructive input so we can make 2 of the busiest streets for bikes in the city safer.

Hope it’s effective. Hope it sticks

Big news! @mobreezy213.bsky.social has defeated Bill Magnarelli in the Democratic primary for Syracuse's 129th Assembly District seat! Huge win for street-safety and transit policy. www.syracuse.com/politics/cny...

We'll get automatic enrollment when we pass CM Hudson's bill Int. 248 and ensure that HRA implements it well. Next step for sure!

This is a good step in the right direction, even if it's not everything we wanted. Very important to include automatic enrollment, however.

For months people said this race wasn’t competitive. But when people organize and talk to their neighbors anything becomes possible. Read more

This year’s primary election didn’t energize the city’s young voters as much as last year's, but enough showed up to deliver some stinging defeats: gothamist.visitlink.me/WHLdE2

Mayor Mamdani’s crusade for faster buses will take another big step this summer when the Department of Transportation puts bus lanes in both directions on E. 116th Street in East Harlem, where buses today crawl at just 4 miles per hour.

this looks so much better and people friendly than a jersey barrier. please stop installing highway infrastructure on city streets.

Good policy that we all benefit from as @streetspac.org works to make better streets possible year in and year out.

"Safer streets and better public transit aren't just good policy – they're good politics. Time and again, candidates who embrace progressive transportation policies, rather than run away from them, are coming out on top."

In our latest update: a very, very successful primary election, plus an Andrew Gounardes birthday fundraiser. StreetsPAC's endorsees won 20 of 26 races, and are leading in two others. Safer streets and better transit aren't just good policy, they're good politics. www.streetspac.org/2026_primary...

“Hey Steve why are you so concerned about making Grand Army Plaza safer?” “Oh no reason”

Longtime Assembly member Bill Magnarelli appears to have lost the Democratic primary for a key upstate seat to the upstart Onondaga County Legislator Mo Brown, a Democratic Socialist who campaigned on improving sustainable transit and transportation modes. buff.ly/cGpPi14

A huge sweep for the kind of candidates that Streetsblog readers like. Plus other news. buff.ly/Byb1cJS

Shaping up as huge night for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @socialists.nyc.

One hour left!

So excited to start this show! We have a lot of good stuff ready to go. Tune in! www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWZ7...

Just 2 hours until polls close for today's New York State primary. Turnout is low, so your vote for candidates who will prioritize street safety & public transit can truly make a difference! Check out our voter guide and head to the polls if you haven't voted yet! www.streetspac.org/2026_nys_pri...

In Manhattan's 3rd City Council District, we endorse Carl Wilson, who won the special election for the seat in April, in the Democratic primary. He'll fight to fully fund NYCDOT's staffing and capital needs to help it better meet Streets Plan benchmarks. More here: www.streetspac.org/2026_nys_pri...

We proudly endorse Adam Bojak in the Democratic primary for the open seat in Buffalo's 149th Assembly District. He supports major improvements to Buffalo's bike infrastructure, and he'll fight for increased funding for the region's buses and limited rail options. www.streetspac.org/2026_nys_pri...
