One of the best pieces you will read about architecture, aesthetics, and the world we live in.

My first time seeing the complete (unrealized) plan for IM Pei's Crown Heights superblocks from 1969. I love how it doesn't just add park space, but threads new off-street connections. from www.archpaper.com/2025/12/plaz...

It's absolutely no surprise that Northern Blvd and 48th St is on this list. Big-box stores and shopping traffic make it an unfortunate bit of suburbia sandwiched between 2 dense neighborhoods.

"Brands that are strictly consistent in their use of things like logos, type, colors, and imagery get such wildly-outsized cultural impact in exchange for relatively modest investment that it’s mind-boggling to me that more organizations don’t insist on following suit." (Feeling very validated)

There's only one stated meeting left before this City Council term ends. That means we have just 13 days left to pass universal daylighting and save lives. Call Speaker Adrienne Adams and tell her to bring Intro 1138 to a vote: 212-482-6731

It was my great pleasure to help @transalt.org Queens present our activist-led proposal for a protected bike lane network in Sunnyside and Woodside to Queens Community Board 2 last night. Trips to places like Astoria, Greenpoint, and Maspeth are fastest by bike, and we can make them safe.

What's makes this even more ridiculous is that there's a stretch of the Queens/Nassau border that doesn't even follow the street grid. Can you spot it?

TR had it right on this one...

Thrilled to see my latest work for @nywfp.bsky.social out in the world. Visit wfp.info for a great summary of the whats and whys of Fusion Voting in NYC, and be sure to vote for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on ROW D!

Sad, but not surprising, to see @galeabrewer.bsky.social welch on her commitments to safe streets yet again. www.reddit.com/r/Micromobil...

This is very well-intentioned, but a stop sign is just a red-octagon sign instead of a yellow-diamond sign. Signs don't stop cars, but concrete blocks, raised crosswalks, or curb extensions do. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/09/25/s...

A sample of all the ways Montreal knows how to daylight an intersection.

I agree, but how do you reply to someone complaining about a missing bus stop without sounding completely heartless?

Thank you Robert Silverman for everything you've done in Montreal, and for building a biking city that's inspired activists across the continent!

63 days til Election Day

Even when NYC makes changes to its streets, it’s through the language of North American traffic control devices which are bright, distracting, and ultimately car-oriented. A great intro to a city that looks more like a city and is ultimately safer and more pleasant.

It’s always tragically hilarious to see crews desperately patching up the worst bits of the janky boardwalk in the days leading up to the US Open. (Maybe the USTA could pitch in some of that $23 cocktail money and actually do something good for Queens year-round)

The way these summers are going in NY, there are way more days where you want to eat outside in March and November than in July and August…

The 9 states of New York City. (Data from the 2020 census and @nycplanning.bsky.social's PopFactFinder tool)

The Staples on Meeker and Kingsland in Greenpoint will be an Aldi! But since that requires ULURP review for a zoning change from an M1-1 to a C7-1, it will be open in 2027 at the earliest? And still with that giant parking lot? greenpointers.com/2025/07/28/p...

"Working Class New York" is an essential read for anyone interested in NYC history. (I had an awesome HS teacher who gave me a copy as a graduation gift many moons ago) Hoping there's something about Sunnyside in this new book...

Get an organized group that’s politically active, and city government will bend over backwards to make what they happen, regardless of the details. Between the lines of these ridiculous legal arguments are some big lessons. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/07/28/s...

I don't know Ben Chou, her challenger, and probably disagree with him on various issues. But I am 100% sure he is a better human being and more fit to serve the residents of Northeast Queens than their current councilmember. www.benchou4ny.com

So will this list double or triple in the next 4 years? www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/s...

Never been prouder, or more honored, to work with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, @nywfp.bsky.social, and @shahanafrombk.bsky.social

More @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social volunteers (46,000+) than NYPD officers (36,000).

Great article, and a great picture of the Rank The Slate poster I designed for @nywfp.bsky.social

NYC's "civic leaders" (big biz, big labor) want East NY and Brownsville, some of the city's most disadvantaged neighborhoods, to be represented by an empty chair. That speaks volumes.

Beyond thrilled to have designed these! Kudos to Team Zohran for a brilliant idea and thanks for giving me the opportunity to run with it!

People who know stuff about trains: This isn’t great, right?

The hotly awaited ⚖️⚖️ Judge election endorsement ⚖️⚖️ Queens Civil Court: Sheridan Chu Queens 2nd Municipal Court District: Eve Cho Guillergan

I've had enough life experience (including working on campaigns where no "serious" person gave us a chance in hell) to know that NOTHING IS INEVITABLE but if you want something you need to work for it Early voting starts Saturday. Let's go.

Now updated: the @nywfp.bsky.social's Rank The Slate website with number rankings. (Featuring @jonathanhoefler.bsky.social's Numbers)

Truly, one of the more disturbing fixtures of safe streets advocacy. A prime example of the general societal unraveling that's gone on in the past 5 years. In my pre-COVID TransAlt committee leadership days, they weren't nearly as omnipresent or aggressive.

So who should be my number 5 now?

Did anyone get the impression from last night’s debate that Cuomo is tired and out of it?

The best product demonstration since the Union Square peeler guy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ve6J...

I'm glad to see this ridiculousness is moving forward. It's a ridiculous part of town already, so why fight it? Embrace the ridiculousness! Rem Koolhaas would be proud (maybe) newyorkyimby.com/2025/06/the-...

Uchsheani la’atsmi, ma’ani? But if I am for myself alone, what am I? Unfortunately, some people are for themselves alone. Donald Trump and Andrew Cuomo are both on that list. Both use Jews as pawns to advance their own interests – in dangerous ways. None of it makes us safer.

How it started v. how it's going, congestion pricing edition.

My questions to anyone posting doom-and-gloom about the mayor's race: What are YOU doing to stop Cuomo? Did you donate or canvass? Did you tell your friends & neighbors not to rank Cuomo? Or would you rather be a pundit and just let things happen to you? This is not over. Stop acting like it is.

I will certainly be voting for Zellnor, and deeply appreciate his work in the State Senate. From a design perspective, though, it's a mess. Why are they using 2 different logos, (www.zellnor.nyc)? In our media environment, consistency in visuals matters just as much as consistency in messaging.

How many people were injured in crashes on the too-narrow path during this delay?
