Small tweaks matter. This new 100’ two-way 8th Ave link for westbound cyclists along 13th to Meatpacking / Hudson River continues the 13th Street lane around Jackson Sq, via a protected block of Greenwich Ave, codifying what was a very clear desire line. #BikeNYC @bikenewyork

Americans will literally book a once-in-a-lifetime vacation to experience life without cars but refuse to lose a single parking spot in their own city

Three new pandemic era subway ridership records the past few days: highest total on Friday and best Saturday and Sunday.

3.1 million weekday riders is on par with the early 1990s now, and Saturday’s ridership was 2/3 of a pre-pandemic late September Saturday.

Next week @NYCCouncil will hear legislation on civilian enforcement of parking violations. We’ve watched placard abuse continue without accountability for far too long — it’s time to put power directly in the hands of residents.

Follow-up: Today we arrested the operator of this vehicle for Reckless Driving and Unlawful Fleeing a Police Officer.

Manhattan Community Board 8 just passed 47-1 my resolution asking @NYC_DOT to convert the Queensboro Bridge South Outer Roadway to pedestrian-only. Currently cyclists & pedestrians share the congested North Outer Roadway (see below). This was the final step of community input!

With warmer weeks ahead, there is an urgency to plan for more open space around bars & restaurants as they safely reopen when guidelines allow.

Today, I joined 23 City Council colleagues in support of a plan to expand open space for restaurants, bars, & cafes as we reopen.

Proud to be leading the way on the westside for #openstreets in NYC! Thanks for all the support from @CoreyinNYC @bradhoylman @DickGottfried @galeabrewer @ManhattanBoard4. More space for people is a good thing!

Our new senior editor @streetsblogkea offers a fitting take on a new @JAMASurgery report on scooter injuries. Don’t rush to blame the scooter riders.

@NYC_DOT This is a monumental achievement in public health unmatched by any other city. Here’s a video included as part of @NYC_DOT @Vision_Hero online safety edu program on wearing that helmet correctly produced w @OsmosisMed https://t.co/zRtDv7FYV1

[Just your friendly neighborhood transit reporter @s_nessen]

Pretty basic messages cyclists are sending de Blasio, enforce the existing traffic laws, build more bike lanes, treat biking as a serous form of transportation.

[Janette Sadik-Khan @JSadikKhan]

For most people, driving isn't a choice, it's a non-negotiable fact of life. We need to change the structures that encourage and entrench driving in cities and bring real transportation independence—the freedom not to drive—to more people.

[Citi Bike @CitiBikeNYC]

Our riders depend on safe streets each and every day, and the sharp rise in cyclist deaths this year is heartbreaking.

We support this important action and encourage all of #BikeNYC to show up in solidarity next week.
