woooo baby, that’s tough. Sunset & Bay Ridge are already barely serviced.

Shuttles are great, but will they be able to navigate around all the double-parked cars?

[Justin Brannan @JustinBrannan]

HEADS UP fellow R train riders... Overnight and weekend service changes are coming #BayRidge #SunsetPark @alexaforcouncil @NYCCouncil38

Sanitation workers throw out an unhoused persons tent as part of @NYCMayor’s effort to “clean up” encampments.

Heriberto took out some of his belongings but didn’t fold up his tent. “I’m just tired,” he says when I ask why not. Now sanitation workers have thrown it out.

Tell me again how bikes slow traffic?

[Chief of Transportation @NYPDTransport]

Due to a disabled Vehicle on the N/B FDR Drive approaching 53 Street the right lane is blocked.

Car drove up on the concrete barriers on Roebling St & South 4th St and is stuck on it.

[Catherine Montesi @catmontesi]

Why does it take 4 police officers to respond to 1 single instance of turnstile jumping? Excessive force over, again, $2.75.

[Catherine Montesi @catmontesi]

Thinking about all the traffic crimes NYPD commit all day, every day, that actually do harm & endanger New Yorkers.

[Jason Walker @LamarSpeaks]

Arrest happening now for hopping turnstile at Nostrand @changethenypd @NYCMayor
