The greatest city in the world should have the greatest streets in the world 🗽

When Mayor-elect Mamdani takes office, he will control over 6,300 miles of streets throughout the five boroughs.

Reducing car dependence is one of the best ways to reduce costs for New Yorkers. Owning a car costs nearly $9,000 annually, while taking transit costs just $1,500.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history.

This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.

[Transportation Alternatives @TransAlt]

We’re counting on the City of New York to fix this chaotic intersection to make it safe.

That means turn calming, protected bike infrastructure, and a protected bike intersection to prevent crashes and tragedies like this from ever happening again.

[Transportation Alternatives @TransAlt]

Why is there no side guard on this truck? Why is its turn signal not visible? Why did the driver turn without yielding?

How @emily_lip almost got "right hooked" by a truck driver in Queens last week — days before a girl was killed by a truck driver in Manhattan on Friday.

The @nytimes:

"Then in August, nine pedestrians or cyclists were killed by hit-and-run drivers, proving once again that, for all the hand-wringing about those lawless e-bikers, it’s the automobiles that pose the greatest danger."

NEW VICTORY- Deliveristas won a historic $131.5 million DoorDash settlement!

This victory belongs to the courageous workers who organized, and fought back when their wages were stolen and built a powerful union - @LosDeliveristas.

Thank you, @NYCMayor @helloDCWP.

The truck involved in last week's fatal crash with a teen on a Citi Bike was exempted from a city rule requiring a crucial safety feature.

About half of all trade-waste vehicles are exempt from the life-saving tech. https://t.co/pjrjYiw78S

[Streetsblog New York City @StreetsblogNYC]

Trucks and SUVs are more dangerous, pollute more, degrade our infrastructure faster, and take up more of our public space than smaller, lighter vehicles.

[NYC DOT @NYC_DOT]

Queens Boulevard used to be one of the most dangerous streets in our city. Many called it the Boulevard of Death.

When Vision Zero was launched it was named as a priority corridor and over the next decade received major safety improvements.

Those improvements worked.

[Queens Borough President Donovan Richards @QnsBPRichards]

The cycling community here in Queens is growing by the day.

Not only will we always celebrate and encourage people to join this community through rides like this — we will continue to fight for and invest in safer streets for ALL who use them, bike riders included.

[Transportation Alternatives @TransAlt]

Yet another New Yorker killed by a driver. This is a public health crisis.

This was the 35th NYC pedestrian killed in a hit-and-run so far in 2026 — more than in all of 2025.

Park Ave and E Tremont Ave is a Vision Zero Priority Intersection. Tremont is a VZ Priority Corridor.

One weird trick to not get a speed camera ticket: slow down.

[Gothamist @Gothamist]

No more warnings: Speed cameras at MTA bridges, tunnels sending out tickets Tuesday

[Transportation Alternatives @TransAlt]

Last night, at the intersection of 14th Street and First Avenue, a truck driver hit a Citi Bike, injuring one 16-year-old rider and killing a 15-year-old rider.

The riders were crossing First Avenue with the right-of-way to turn onto the protected bike lane heading north.

🥖🗽 "The mayors discussed pedestrianization, the expansion of bus lanes, and Paris's bold approach to growing its bike network" ‼️

On @nycmayor’s meeting with the mayor of Paris, per spox - 🥖

[Mark D. Levine @MarkLevineNYC]

Until the 1920s Park Ave had an actual park running through it. Then cars took over.

Now the park is coming back. @NYC_DOT just unveiled the final vision for transformation of the avenue (from E.46th to E.57th).

With reduction of two lanes of traffic, there will be wider sidewalks, an urban forrest in the median, benches, space for cultural programming, a bike lane etc.

[Transportation Alternatives @TransAlt]

On Monday, more than 60 state- and city-level elected officials sent a letter to the mayor and DOT commissioner urging them to implement Sammy’s Law “on all the eligible streets in our respective districts.”

[Transportation Alternatives @TransAlt]

Last night, Manhattan Community Board 9 approved a resolution asking DOT to lower speed limits to 20 mph across the entire district.

This is the fifteenth community board to pass such a resolution. The boards asking for safer speeds represent more than two million New Yorkers.

[Transportation Alternatives @TransAlt]

Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers flock to Park Avenue during Summer Streets, when there are no cars clogging the road.

Once Mayor Mamdani's redesign plan is completed, there will be much more pedestrian space and many fewer cars — every day, not just on special occasions!

[Transportation Alternatives @TransAlt]

How did a series of socialist mayors transform Paris into the pedestrian-and-pedal paradise we know today?
