One year of congestion pricing has brought positive changes to our city, especially in the congestion zone. As we continue to prioritize people over cars, NYC will become safer and more equitable for all.

It has been one year since congestion pricing started and it has been a great success. Now it's time for the City to build on that momentum and make our streets safer and more equitable for all. Our statement:

Deliveristas can’t wait any longer!! Intro 1332 will stop unjust firings and empower workers to slow down without fear. City Council must act now. Vote YES on Intro1332 #PassIntro1332 #DeliveristaJustice #JustCauseNow @workersjusticep @LosDeliveristas @NYCCouncil

- I never see you at the club - Ok? I never see you at your community board meeting

Speaker Adams did not bring CM Julie Won’s bill, Int. 1138 to a vote this session, which would have given New Yorkers more visibility at intersections. We are deeply disappointed in this result. This is a setback in the fight for daylighting but we will not be deterred.

Intersections with poor visibility are dangerous for pedestrians and drivers. Too many New Yorkers have been killed—tragedies that could have been avoided. NYC needs universal daylighting now! nypost.com/2025/12/09/u...

Please continue calling on Speaker Adams and the City Council to pass Intro 1138. This is the simplest and most effective way to improve visibility and safety at our intersections. action.openplans.org/support-hard... @openplans.org

This is a huge win for pedestrians and our sidewalks! Cleaner sidewalks, less rat activity, and no more having to walk next to trash piles! 🎉🎉🎉 We are very excited to see this get implemented citywide! ny1.com/nyc/all-boro...

Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's victory shows NYers are ready for a city that puts people first. When cities make this commitment, the results are clear: fewer injuries, cleaner air, stronger communities, and thriving local economies. It works—and New Yorkers deserve it.

Very impressive for a Business Improvement District to LEAD the charge to make this happen and contribute $1 million of the cost! It's made SUCH a difference. The seating and relaxing areas are impressively designed! @nyc.streetsblog.org @mikelydon.bsky.social @bfurnas.bsky.social @openplans.org

We're elated to support Park Slope 5th Ave BID's people-first vision for BK's 5th Ave: safer for walking, better for business, faster for buses. Prioritizing neighbors over congestion, creating a vibrant place to walk, shop, & connect. @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/10/22/s...

Safer streets. Fewer crashes. Lives saved. Daylighting works, it’s proven and it’s common sense. 200 groups support Int. 1138... City Council let's pass CM Won's bill! @council.nyc.gov @cmjuliewon.bsky.social

NYC has plenty of great candidates for this... Times Square, for example, where the sidewalks are already way past their capacity.

200 local groups — from NYC DSA to the Staten Island Conservative Party — joined the growing chorus for banning parking at corners in order to improve safety and visibility in hopes of pushing forward a stalled Council bill to mandate the street redesign known as daylighting.

Personal vehicles dominate city traffic, so to lower VMT, we need a lot more strategies like congestion pricing to get New Yorkers to stop driving so much. Low traffic neighborhoods and bus rapid transit aren't just nice-to-haves, they're how we win.

New Yorkers are driving their personal cars a lot more. This is bad. Today's Morning Spew:

Driving in NYC is increasing every year, but our streets CANNOT get any wider. 📈 Between 2004 and 2023, Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) jumped at least 16%. This is causing: more gridlock 🚙, air & noise pollution 💨, more fatalities & serious injuries 🏥…

How to incentivize the 34% who drive (and make up 80% of NYC's traffic) to join the 65% who get around car-free? @openplans.org's @saraklind.bsky.social says "Bus Rapid Transit would be a huge game changer in terms of getting people out of cars," — and we agree! hellgatenyc.com/nyc-is-losin...

📢 Bronx youth rallied against the Cross Bronx Expressway widening, demanding cleaner air & a healthier future. NYC's next generations deserve healthier communities & pollution-free air instead of more highways. Let's listen to their vision for a better Bronx.

Thank you @governor.ny.gov & NYS DOT for pausing the Hudson Valley Highway expansion & for scrapping plans to build a traffic diversion structure along the Cross Bronx Expressway! Now, instead of widening the Cross Bronx, we need more investment in public transit & public space.

One of NYC’s most beautiful places - Queens’ @34ave.bsky.social open street - is getting its fall colors today up and down the 1.3 mile corridor! @cathytuttle.bsky.social @nyc-dot.bsky.social @openplans.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

“You can’t tell me a parking space at the corner of a street is worth a life.” Advocates are in front of the district office of @galeabrewer.bsky.social this morning to ask her why she changed her mind and no longer supports universal daylighting in NYC.

By bringing back year-round outdoor dining & simplifying the process, the City will make it possible for restaurants to thrive while giving NYers more ways to enjoy our public spaces. A big THANK YOU to @cmrestler.bsky.social & the bill's co-sponsors for putting people over parked cars!

Hoboken, NJ has seen zero pedestrian fatalities in 8 years since implementing universal daylighting. This proven approach will make Sunset Park's intersections, and those across NYC, safer for all. @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social, please call Intro 1138 to a vote now. www.sunsetpost.org/en/stories/o...

"New York is a city of transit riders and pedestrians, and our streets should be oriented towards them. Whoever is the new mayor next year must operate with those principles, not just platitudes. Let’s let the Department of Transportation get to work." www.nydailynews.com/2025/10/05/m...

Look how wonderful Low Traffic Neighborhoods can be! This is the Van Gogh Walk in Lambeth, London. This street is decades old but built for people first yet still has access for last block travel & emergency vehicles! @openplans.org @nyc.streetsblog.org @thewaroncars.bsky.social @nycdot.bsky.social
