@PolSciEconSalsa Hell yea!!! This is great and I’ll write to my community board asking them to support it

This is how a driver killed a little boy, Bayron, in Queens while he and his family were crossing in the crosswalk. A driver couldn’t bear to wait two seconds behind a lawfully yielding car. Drivers kill people because they’re impatient.

But bike lanes!!!

[Martin @MartinScopes]

But the speed limit for bikes is 15 mph

[NYC Scoop @NY_Scoop]

Manhattan: Essex Street & Rivington Street, a yellow cab driver got impatient behind slow-moving traffic, and paid for it.

@dschwa8059 @Megmd514 @nycdot I saw it twice this morning on my way to work. You’re either lying or have a very different definition of running a red light

[sam @sam_d_1995]

fun fact: in New York City, emergency vehicles literally use the bike lanes to get out of gridlock. Well-protected bike lanes can serve as an emergency lane that actually reduces response times.

don’t believe me?

here’s proof from last week

[Council Member Shahana Hanif @CMShahanaHanif]

The Carroll Street Bridge will reopen soon, and I encourage DOT to open it for pedestrians and cyclists only!

Reopening this historic landmark is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine how we share public space in Gowanus. As our neighborhood grows, we should prioritize safe, accessible infrastructure that serves pedestrians and cyclists, reduces traffic violence, and strengthens community connection.

@burby_geek Why does it need to be free? Also, this is a paying customer that the parking garage is putting on the sidewalk. The garage should be fined

[Martin @MartinScopes]

Why does the NYPD allow parking garages to store cars on the sidewalk. There are 1-2 cars here every day. It is around the corner from the 19th precinct and directly next to an entrance to the 6 train.

[Martin @MartinScopes]

@burby_geek This is literally a parking garage. Legal parking

[Martin @MartinScopes]

@seanlawlessbro I report it daily!

[Martin @MartinScopes]

@AndyBremmen It’s the ring of highways that holds it back from true greatness

@pwbnyc @KurtSchlichter Right?? We can't travel efficiently from NYC to Chicago because New Mexico is far away? Makes no sense!

[Emily Smith @emhuntersmith]

After ~3 hours of in person testimony, several people turned away at the door due to capacity constraints, and with 150+ people watching on Zoom throughout the night, the @CB7Manhattan vote in support of the proposed W. 72nd Street redesign carries 26-17-1.

[Chris @SwiftySanders]

@NYC_DOT @NYCMayor Thank you for this project. Manhattan CB7 SUPPORTED 72nd St 26-19-1 OMG!!!! This plus Lafayette and 34th Street will improve the quality of life for me and many other people. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾WOOOHOOOO!!! 🥳👏🏾🎉

[Sara Lind @saraklind]

CB7 just voted to approve DOT's plan for a two-way bike lane on West 72nd Street - the first crosstown protected bike lane on the entire UWS.

What a huge win!!

[Martin @MartinScopes]

This is great! We need places to sit!

[Janet Liff @JanetLiff]

New “street furniture” on west 3rd street. I love how #Newyorkers quickly make it their own. Thanks @nyc_dot @TransAlt

[John Surico @JohnSurico]

Delighted to see this near @nyuniversity. It became three lanes of parking and dangerous for cyclists after a street redesign—now it works better for all road users.
