Thoughts are my own and are rarely 180 characters or less.
@JanetLiff@ZohranKMamdani I don't blame Mamdani for this- the storm was awful. That said, my block in SI wasn't touched by a plow until 3pm today. Some neighbors in SI still haven't been plowed out. Folks can barely get around on foot, let alone bike. It's hard to give him an A when people are still stuck
@agounardes 28 inches in areas of Staten Island and the plows still haven't reached the steeper hills yet. I don't see how opening schools will be possible tomorrow
Yesterday, we took a trip up to Albany to talk to state lawmakers about the Stop Super Speeders bill, along with the rest of the NYS Safe Streets Coalition's legislative package!
New York must slow down the worst-of-the-worst reckless drivers on our roads.
On Saturday, we stood with AM @Charlesdfall, the Staten Island Industrial Alliance, the Staten Island Urban Center, and Brooklyn Community Board 10 to make it clear:
Staten Islanders deserve fast ferry service connecting them to the rest of NYC!
It's time for fast ferry service between Staten Island and South Brooklyn!
If you live on SI's North Shore, you have to spend an average of 45.2 minutes commuting every day. A fast ferry would help fix this.
Today — because you called and rallied and never stopped pushing — @GovKathyHochul is advancing congestion pricing.
We are one step closer to cleaner air, safer streets, faster buses, accessible subways & a more resilient future.
Today wouldn't have been possible without you.
@KamillahMHanks@NYSenator_JSS The MTA has a multi million funding gap & if the MTA goes under, the economic impacts on the city will be catastrophic. CP will raise enough to help plug the gap & fund essential projects across the city while relieving congestion. We need Congestion Pricing
From SI to Southeast BK, all NYers deserve the services that residents in Midtown take for granted & they need it more. During national #WeekWithoutDriving folks across the city are reminding the @nyc_dot and @mta that all NYers need transit equity & humane commutes!
Started my day in Canarsie w/ @ny4change @foodandwaterwatch @transitalliance @sd19senatorpersaud 's Office & residents to fight for better transit & bus/ bike infrastructure in the 46th District!
#WeekWithoutDriving
This morning I joined @TransAlt@Yamodo & friends for a rally to bring back long lost much-needed ferry service between Staten Island & southern BK. Connecting the @NYCferry between Staten Island and Bay Ridge is a no-brainer. All the infrastructure is there. Let's get it done!
Last night we distributed English and Arabic flyers for the #FinishFourthAve campaign to businesses on Fourth Avenue.
Businesses agree with the pedestrians on this one: we need to make Fourth Avenue safe for EVERYONE
