Congrats to @santamonicacity & @jacquiswartz on finishing the 17th St. protected bike lane.

Here’s to @GleamDavis’s call for more protected bike lanes to keep bikers and pedestrians safe and promote clean transportation.

How about a safe E/W path to Ocean Ave next?

Interesting story from last month's @CCRB_NYC report. Guy stands on sidewalk to prevent an officer from illegally parking on it. He is arrested.

@dieworkwear What about the cool hole-y phase?

@SilvermanJacob When you've never seen an apartment building...

@qualityrye Just saw it in theaters and forgot how long this scene goes on... It's sooo perfectly painful to watch, with Gene Hackman constantly stepping up and down to keep his feet warm.

Scores of people gathered at Avenue P and Coney Island Ave in Midwood ahead of a 6:00pm event honoring slain dancer O'Shae Sibley.

@mcmansionhell I (biased) like Berkeley Books in Paris for English-language books. Mollat in Bordeaux is epic.

Corona Plaza is a cultural & economic hub driven by local street vendors. We ask the administration to work together to formalize the market & expedite the process w/ @NYC_DOT

In the meantime, stop the crackdowns that leaving 100 families w/out income

On Thursday I’m introducing a bathroom bill that would compel NYC to meet a goal of 1 public 🚽 per 2000 residents by 2035. Why?

This will be 1000x safer, more effective, and cheaper than “more cops on the street.”

@gwestr @jedwinmok I'm nobody, too

[Street Vendor Project @VendorPower]

Vendors are on Day 5 of protest in
Corona Plaza - united, holding their ground, and strong

@2AvSagas TBH after watching many projects over the years get either stalled or greenlit based on mayoral whims, I'm pretty burnt out on any activism other than electoral politics. We really need a mayor like Brianna Wu in office.

[Sam Bleiberg @SamBleiberg]

@BigMeanInternet Hm, I also think of output in terms of shifting from goods to services and how we can make having a repair shop a feasible business again. The local electronics shop in Williamsburg closed last year after being in business 38 years :(

NEW SPEW:

On Monday, Mayor Eric Adams said that his jails commisioner, Louis Molina is doing a "goddamn good job."

Apparently, federal prosecutors don't agree, and on Monday moved to take control of Rikers Island away from City Hall.

Periodic reminder that the LAPD managed to accidentally explode a giant bomb in a neighborhood 2 years ago and are still trying to sweep it under the rug.
