This show failed to mention that as a pedestrian walking across a roundabout totally sucks / takes way longer and is dangerous. Considered a non windshield perspective! Should Traffic Lights Be Abolished? (Replay) @freakonomics https://t.co/PBE3RoSxLr
@NYCParks Longer pool opening hours is a great call with this extreme heat and I was overjoyed to see extra lifeguards at Kosciuszko Pool in Bed Stuy last night. The first time since the pandemic that a majority of this pool has been open. Thanks @NYCMayor and the @NYCParks team 🏊🏊♂️🏊♂️🏊🏊
Due to the heat wave, our Olympic-sized and intermediate pools will have extended hours. On Thursday, July 27, Friday, July 28, and Saturday, July 29, pools will stay open until 8pm.
Trees can cool city streets up to 2 degrees F, as well as shade buildings and reduce energy consumption. Check @NYCParks Cool It! NYC map https://t.co/0c0Od73Hd8 to stay in the shade. #BeatTheHeat
