When I taught at @BklynCollege411, some students said government didn���t matter. Then we’d discuss how, until 1976, @CUNY was free and how that change was a choice.

The US is facing a housing crisis, and we need all hands on deck to tackle it.

While Trump refuses to take this crisis seriously, Congress acted, and I’m glad to see the 21st Century Road to Housing Act become law.

Another congestion pricing W 🙌🏾

This Saturday: Recycle Your E-Waste! ♻️

With LES Ecology Center and @NYCSanitation, we’ll be helping to clear out your clutter this weekend. Bring any of the listed materials to Coffey Park for recycling!

This is great, and @Gov_Island deserves all praise, but, to be pedantic @CBSSunday, it’s closer to Brooklyn, specifically Red Hook/ CB6 than the“tip of Manhattan”

[CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 @CBSSunday]

One of New York City's most unique public spaces is a 172-acre island off the tip of Manhattan. Jane Pauley offers a tour of Governors Island, celebrated for its parks, cultural events, and sweeping harbor views.

Today’s birthright citizenship ruling is a relief. It’s a shame its legality was ever in question.

[Antonio Reynoso @BKBPReynoso]

🙋🏾‍♂️New Yorker here who’s very excited about this car-free crossing!

[Mike Racioppo @RacioppoMike]

I’m told Carroll Street Bridge opens at ten am

[NYC Planning @NYCPlanning]

The Carroll Street Bridge is reopening, and another Gowanus Neighborhood Plan commitment is being delivered.

Let's keep creating safer, more walkable neighborhoods with more homes and mandated affordability!

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

It’s simple: tenants have the legal right to safe and habitable housing, and my administration is committed to making sure that right is upheld.

[CB6 - Brooklyn Community Board 6 @BrooklynCB6]

So do we!

[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.

[NYC Alt Side Parking @NYCASP]

#NYCASP rules are suspended today, Thursday, May 28, for Idul-Adha (Eid Al-Adha). Parking meters are in effect.

[NYC Planning @NYCPlanning]

More homes, faster than ever!

@GovKathyHochul just signed landmark reforms to SEQRA, the state’s environmental review law.

Together with NYC’s SPEED reforms, this will help us deliver housing at the speed & scale New Yorkers need, while continuing to safeguard the environment.

[Kathy Park Price @KathyParkPrice]

It was great to hear @BKBPReynoso on The War on Cars. Hear him talking about his leadership on streets and parks by Brooklyn Borough Hall and across Brooklyn. Excited for Columbus Park to be reclaimed for people, too.

This is great! Check it out:

[Vincent Barone @vinbarone]

One of the massive bus boarding islands coming to Flatbush Ave. These do so much for faster service/safer streets:
—Physically protect bus lanes ✅
—Shorten pedestrian crossing distances✅
—Eliminate time buses spend pulling into/out of stops✅
—Reduce instances of speeding✅

My new op-Ed in @CityLimitsNews on @EmilyAssembly and @JuliaCarmel__ Small Business Rent Stabilization Act. Let’s fight to keep our neighborhood businesses open and from big real estate controlling nyc! https://t.co/LJIArTpi5L
