Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

"These lanes would have been the first protected bike infrastructure installed in this part of Brooklyn since the Eastern Parkway bike path came online in the late 1800s." nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/22/a...

Intro 1332 is essential as both a worker-protection measure and a street-safety initiative. Fear of deactivation forces delivery workers to prioritize speed over safety, putting themselves and others at risk. Rally Thursday at City Hall at 12:30pm ahead of the City Council vote to urge a yes vote!

"Incoming Mayor Zohran Mamdani will appeal a Queens judge's ruling ordering the city to rip out the new protected bike lane on 31st Street in Astoria, he told Streetsblog on Wednesday." nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/17/m...

I didn’t go by Vanderbilt or Grand Army Plaza today, but this Underhill Ave #bikeNYC lane is an ice rink tonight. Do better @nycsanitation.bsky.social This is a contra flow lane, btw. So people who encounter this going north will either ride on the sidewalk or into oncoming 🚙 traffic. 🐂 💩

So many unbuilt miles of bike and bus lanes to choose from… www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/15/c...

Seen earlier today, on Queens Blvd. @nycsanitation.bsky.social

In a bike lane with all the safety gear, still killed by a driver. A wife widowed and two young kids without a father just before the holidays. It doesn’t have to be this way. #bikesky 6abc.com/post/forrner...

It’s important to contextualize just how much less safe American drivers are than everywhere else in the world, and it’s getting worse!

"As mothers, our worst nightmare is a car killing a child just for trying to cross the street," write @powers4queens.bsky.social and @cmjuliewon.bsky.social . "Kids are the city’s most vulnerable residents, and the status quo endangers them ... They deserve universal daylighting." buff.ly/yUjASQ0

it took the NYPD a week to find a man dead inside a car with illegal tinted windows and parked in front of a fire hydrant just 600 feet from their front door

The untold story of the ruling in which Justice Chereé Buggs kills the 31st St. bike lane is that FDNY sabotaged it by deciding, inexplicably, that they can’t stage ladder trucks in a bike lane that was designed for them to be wide enough for exactly that s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

A Major Milestone for District 3 🌳 Today we planted our 1,000th NEW STREET TREE, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change, cool our streets, manage stormwater, and make our neighborhoods safer and healthier. When I took office, we set an 8 Year Goal.

This morning, the MTA swapped the F/M trains at 8 stations in Manhattan & Queens. This is an example of "deinterlining," a technique which improves the frequency & reliability of subway service. Read ETA on why deinterlining is so valuable & where else it can be used: www.etany.org/statements/d...

Automated speed enforcement works extremely well.

Remarkable.

Do you have thoughts on OMNY? Share them in @gothamist.com's new survey! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

It's ridiculous for a judge to demand that the city rip out a critical street safety project. 31st Street is one of the most dangerous streets in Queens, and this unprecedented decision puts all our neighbors at risk. We must prioritize the safety of Astoria families over cars.

TOMORROW: Join NYC Bike and Brew, TA, and our coalition partners for a Protest Ride demanding that the City stand its ground and appeal the judge's reckless ruling on 31st Street. RSVP now:

Good Jonathan Cohn analysis via @vitalcitynyc.bsky.social on why "universal" daylighting doesn't need to – nor should – open up the space where cars and trucks exit an intersection. www.vitalcitynyc.org/articles/a-s...

This is ridiculous. @reinventalbany.bsky.social is 100% right.

"Vision Zero’s failures in more than two dozen cities fit a predictable pattern.... Motorists are hostile to measures that slow traffic and favor pedestrians. Local leaders give token or tepid support. Spending on pedestrian-friendly improvements is not prioritized." wapo.st/49WM4BI

Congratulations to StreetsPAC NJ on the incredible results in their initial election cycle! To riff on our own debut a dozen years ago, Livable Streets has arrived as a political force in New Jersey. preview.mailerlite.io/emails/webvi...

I am profoundly grateful for the support. As some of you have requested, I am releasing our full secure bike parking proposal publicly for NYC. We did not take anything for granted-- we partnered with global leaders in London and Paris as well as Motivate + others docsend.com/view/rw3vxqe...

"With unwavering commitment to prioritize bus riders over private vehicles, and a strong working relationship with the state-run MTA, Mamdani... and Gov. Hochul... have the potential to revolutionize the city’s buses to the benefit of all New Yorkers." nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/01/m...

It's finally happening: New York City is getting hundreds of secure bike parking lockers. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/01/a...

Speed bumps probably wouldn't have stopped last week's violent car street takeover in Vickie Paladino's Northeast Queens district. But something needs to be done about the wide open intersections that invite reckless driving in neighborhoods all over the city. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/11/24/s...

A rare cab ride for us, but evidence that Local Law 78 (requiring anti-dooring decals in all for-hire-vehicles) is starting to take effect! Thanks @cmjengutierrez.bsky.social @streetspac.org

Thanks to the @nypost.com for letting me check an item off my bucket list (“be the target of a meaty hit piece by a world-class NYC tabloid”) and for highlighting @transalt.org proposals for better walking, biking, & transit! More nice ideas here: transalt.org/road-to-affo...

When the Pope catches you on a short-haul flight that could have been a 2-hour train ride.

We're not saying the Council shouldn't use the powers it's granted by the charter, but weird timing given how many members of the current administration – including the mayor – have found themselves on the wrong side of the law. www.nydailynews.com/2025/11/25/n...

Which state will be the first to rescind seat belt laws? My money is on Montana.

Please call @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social and your local council Member TODAY and ask that the Universal Daylighting Bill be brought to an immediate vote to save lives. Speaker Adams: 212-482-6371 Lookup your Council Member: council.nyc.gov/districts/

At NYCDOT back in the day, we found an allocation of roughly $14M in unspent federal $$$. Previous management had ignored it. The money had been secured by Rep Velazquez, working with the Brooklyn Greenway Initiative. In consultation w the Congresswoman, we put the funds into a corridor plan

When you ride on #bikenyc paths around the Navy Yard, in Red Hook, Sunset Park & now under the Gowanus Expressway, you can thank @velazquez.house.gov for laying their foundation

It's time! Memo to Mamdani: Restart the work that DOT started on 5th Avenue. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/11/21/m... @transalt.org @streetspac.org

Nydia Velázquez is always a champion of democracy even when its hard. She was the only elected in her part of Brooklyn to challenge the corrupt Vito Lopez Democratic Machine. Her legacy is alive in AOC, Mamdani & more and by announcing this now she gives folks time to run a fair primary. Respect!

A train crew found a loose chicken on an N train this morning—and couldn’t get it to leave.

🎉🎉 NEW MEMBER ANNOUNCEMENT: Following an internal vote, Council Member-Elect Harvey Epstein will join our caucus! Harvey will become the Caucus’s 18th member the same day he’s sworn in later this year

Join us & our #PlayFairforParks partners next Monday, at a rally to fully fund #NYCParks, and improve park bathrooms & drinking fountains. Mon Nov 24, 12pm, NYC City Hall.

You gotta pay more for houses with walkability because we don't build nearly enough of them... Walkability shouldn't be a "perk" It should be the default

NYC needs to get its act together and get going on its own secure bike-parking network.

"One problem with determining how and why bike-share costs are so much higher for users in New York City as compared to other cities is that there is very little publicly available data on how much it actually costs Lyft to run Citi Bike." nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/11/19/c...

This is really exciting!!! @nyc311.bsky.social is FINALLY migrating to a unified login platform. This was scheduled to happen several years ago, but COVID and a particularly bad DOITT commissioner restricted NYC311 improvements. #govtech #pitech portal.311.nyc.gov/article/?kan...

"Zohran Mamdani was elected in part because he made getting around the Big Apple like the rest of us — by foot, bike, bus, and train — a central part of his appeal, and a key point of contrast between him and Gotham’s political establishment." nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/11/18/s...

“Though the proposed sentence falls short of the maximum we sought, it will still send a clear message that reckless driving that ends in tragedy will be met serious penalties.” –– @brooklynda.org. www.nydailynews.com/2025/11/17/s...
