Just watched this car cross to the wrong side of Washington Ave to pass cars so it could run through a red light as people were in the middle of crossing the street. 16 school zone tickets in 3 weeks. Why is this at all tolerated? howsmydrivingny.nyc/xriw4ma7

For many residents, vehicle noise is not one loud moment. It is the repetition, unpredictability, and impact on daily life at home. If you’d like to learn more about No More Noise you can sign up for the No Noise News newsletter! Link here ⬇️ https://link.msgsndr.com/sp/fd052bbfe4f

Impound every car with those stupid fart cans on the back

The comments on this on X are the most braindead nonsense I've seen in ages. Most New York Jews (and most New York Italians and most New York Irish) are not 1st generation immigrants or even 2nd at this point. Bad faith nonsense.

The decoder ring for squaring 'only white guys use bike lanes' and 'bike lanes are DEI' is that 'real men don't ride bikes.' Remember: White guys who live in cities and cycle are definitely communists, probably degenerates and potentially homosexuals. Ipso facto, anything they want is DEI.

This guy is such an idiot. I have a lot of contempt for everyone in Trump's orbit but Duffy really takes the cake. DEI bike lanes? Shut the fuck up, you moron. bsky.app/profile/pipe...

This suggests the city is trying to get on with the job of rebuilding the BQE segment in place, rather than engaging the state in a broader, more creative plan to reduce the highway’s footprint/impact in Brooklyn

Zohran Mamdani is the third consecutive mayor to say he'll fix bus service, and there are reasons to believe the plan he just rolled out could make a difference nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/07/09/i...

A lot of focus will be on the 5 routes, but delivering faster buses citywide will be very tough in a street environment where trucks & others stop in bus & travel lanes countless times/day without consequence

“The MTA said it would allow passengers to board through rear bus doors by 2027” it’s happening

Good on these researchers! Always missing in the "emergency response time" discourse is that cars are THE biggest factor slowing trucks. Also affecting response times are the huge fire truck sizes in cities with narrow streets and non fire related emergencies Picture from NYU forum on the topic

Yet another societal benefit of congestion pricing: Better emergency care New paper credits NYC's congestion pricing program for a 5-6 percent reduction in emergency response travel time. www.nber.org/system/files...

New NBER paper finds that the congestion zone in NYC sped up emergency responses by over a minute - about 5-6%. Great stuff! www.nber.org/papers/w35414

Eesh

Everyone is swooning over this guy, and rightly so

Train-commuting home in New York today under the heat dome, let me just say for the record: our infrastructure isn't ready for what's to come. Not even close.

Hope it’s effective. Hope it sticks

Four of the top 10 cities: Jersey City, Hoboken, West New York, and Union City are in Hudson County, population of 700K people, size and density of Boston. Large majorities are commuting to work via bus, light rail, and PATH, and there's so much more potential if we invest further!

How I'd do it: "Birthright citizenship, as guaranteed by the 14th Amendment, is safe... for now. Four Supreme Court justices do not believe in a plain reading of the Constitution. When Democrats retake Congress, we will propose a series of court reforms..." etc. How Jeffries did it: "YAYYYYY!"

Great step in the right direction. Really pleased this significant expansion got done in a very tough budget year. Next step is to pass @cmcrystalhudson.bsky.social's bill Int. 248 to ensure NYC HRA removes the barriers to enrollment that deter so many New Yorkers.

NYC should seriously consider Low Emissions Zones. The state approved congestion pricing, and now needs to go further to improve air quality citywide and not just in the CBD. Low Emissions Zones target high emissions vehicles, and incentivize less driving and quicker adoption of electric vehicles.

So, we’re refusing to let the bridge open until we get a cut of the toll revenues that were set to pay for the bridge, which we refused to finance. Good, cool, no notes. Can’t understand why no one wants to deal with us. — www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

And here's the NYC version showing a similar trend www.nyc.gov/content/clim...

Primary challenges against incumbent machine politicians✅ Rent Freeze ✅ Fast and Free Buses ❔

One way to think about street design in NYC is as a series of evolving workarounds for the fact that cops aren’t expected to do anything

This op-ed dares to say what we all need to be saying - tear down the urban highways to build public transit and space for people. It's ok to say it out loud. Mistakes were made and can be fixed. This is most particularly and obviously true for densely populated parts of the country.

These are actually insane comparisons for people to make. These people are insane.

From now on I will refer to road charges not as tolls but rather as environmental, navigation and security fees, and I will impose them on every road in this country

"Far left" positions: - Transit should be fast, functional and maybe even free. - Everyone has a right to healthcare, childcare, housing, and food. - Collective punishment and genocide are bad, actually. To quote @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win.

Insane thing to say about someone who has held multiple press conferences to announce bus and bike lane projects

An earthquake uptown.

The press release announcing the pre-development agreement for Penn Station once again glosses over the fact that availability payments (payments made by the Penn tenant railroads) are part of the plan to pay for the facelift nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/06/09/a...

The electric buses the MTA has don't work well, so it put a hold on ordering new ones but now that's going to mean older less reliable buses need to be out on the road until the domestic electric bus industry gets its shit together nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/06/23/p...

Europe is currently experiencing an unprecedented heat wave. The US government is paying companies to stop plans for wind farms. Tech companies are building mountains of energy-sucking data centers. This is unsustainable, literally www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

👀 👀 👀 Open gangway 👀👀👀

The MTA believes its lease gives it a strong say in station changes, so has little incentive to come to a table fraught with Trump- and big real estate-related bullshit

Looks like Ford's comms department has appropriated the language of the anti traffic enforcement crowd.

If we get through this current moment, part of whatever comes next is regulating these vehicles out of existence, no matter how long it takes. No society should tolerate such a deadly consumer product that serves no purpose other than making people feel tough and strong. (I know, I know. Guns, too.)

Let the Knicks train run.

They’ll say anything.

Mamdani on Knicks watch parties: "This city is unique is that you can walk across the city. You can actually be outside and not have to drive everywhere, and part of that does give rise to these opportunities to be with people who you don't even know, never met."

Riders <3 electric trains, 1920s edition. IC, per these memos, was seeing cars eat into its business as early as the 1920s and the electrification completely reversed that and then some.

NEW: Best friend of cyclist who was killed on the Queensboro Bridge in a collision with someone on an illegal e-scooter (who also died) demands action from the city to curb the illegal vehicles and implement better street design.
