Forecast calls for a lot of rain for NYC come Tuesday.
Help clear leaves and debris from catch basins near your home if you can. Report clogged catch basins to 311.

Air quality in New York City is currently unhealthy due to wildfire smoke. To protect yourself, please wear a high quality mask.

Smoke is filling the skies across Manhattan. Likely to get worse as the day and night progresses. @CNN

Few spaces matter more than the humble sidewalk — and New York needs a much better strategy to prioritize pedestrians and balance other uses. Read @michaelcpollack, who just wrote a book on the subject. https://t.co/HEyILshxyC

New study: NYC's congestion pricing cut cars by 21% & trucks by 18%! Result? EMS response times dropped by 5-6%!

Cars cause traffic. Cars block ambulances. Cut the number of cars, & you get fewer crashes, cleaner air, faster emergency response, quieter streets, & so much more!
