Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them.

@NYAMCunningham I just left you a message. Let’s engage in civic discourse. There’s never a good time for change, congestion pricing will be transformative to both reduce vehicle traffic while making much needed investment in mass transit which benefit the vast majority of your constituents.

@GovKathyHochul

[Transportation Alternatives @TransAlt]

The next time your train is late, your bus is trapped in traffic, or your subway station is still missing an elevator, you know who to blame: Governor Kathy Hochul.

[Mark Dicus @mdicus99]

@NYAMCunningham Disagree. Need fewer cars so buses can run. Ride the bus at 5a and then ride bus at 9a. It’s the cars that are the problem.

[Mark Dicus @mdicus99]

💯 as per usual.

[Jeffrey LeFrancois @jlef423]

I have been a staunch supporter of @GovKathyHochul from day 1. Her flipflop on #congestionpricing is appalling + a massive letdown. Meanwhile, Dems in Michigan + Minnesota run laps around us with trifectas in gov by actually implementing, then defending good progressive policies.

[Mark Dicus @mdicus99]

@LauraGMitchell Fascinating. I would be much more comfortable walking to meet someone at park than letting someone I barely met drive my child around.

@UMassUltimateM Clean game to half.

I'm not surprised that things didn't go according plan when virtually no effort went to preparing to launch the plan by thousands of faculty to millions of students? So many different levels here...such a disconnect b/w administrators, faculty and students/parents.

School's out! Just as NYC DOE remote issues are being fixed, some principals are ending instruction at noon.
"I know everyone must be exhausted," this Queens principal notified teachers, parents and students.
Cutting class early will give kids a chance to "PLAY OUTSIDE."

Sunshine and low 30s …this really should be like an 8/10 for a winter day. Embrace the winter please.

[New York Metro Weather @nymetrowx]

Friday's Weather Rating: 4/10

Cold this morning, with overnight lows in the 20s. Daytime highs will only reach the upper 30s today - grab that winter jacket - but we do have lots of sunshine to go around. The vibes are chilly out there!!

I love fun facts like this.

[New York Metro Weather @nymetrowx]

Sunset in NYC on Wednesday is at 4:28pm. This is the earliest that the sun will set all year - sunset on Thursday is one minute later at 4:29pm.

The total length of daylight will continue to shorten until the winter solstice on December 21st, 2023.

The materials and finishes with this reconstruction look really sharp IMO.

Pearl Street Plaza pavers have reached the Manhattan Bridge Archway, crews steadily working down de-mapped Anchorage Place towards Plymouth Street 🤩

[Mark Dicus @mdicus99]

@nymetrowx Please adjust the rating to reflect the season. What does a 9/10 winter day look like.

[Mark Dicus @mdicus99]

@RezaC1 @ebottcher @jlef423 Congrats Jeffrey!

[Mark Dicus @mdicus99]

Some unintended consequences right here.

[Mark Dicus @mdicus99]

Grand central Madison: boy is it deep. Forget to buy ticket, had to go all the way back up and come back down. There is so much space and so few people. Why can’t we buy tickets on the train or on the platform?

[Mark Dicus @mdicus99]

Start: fifth av/52nd. LIRR from Grand central Madison to Jamaica to Jamaica to nostrand. B44 from Fulton street to empire. Walk home.

In 1969 New York City required trash to be taken out in Oscar the Grouch-style metal cans. According to the City’s Department of Health the cans were the best defense against rats. At the time rats were only found on 11% of city blocks. Here’s when that all changed 🧵
