And, of course, basic accessibility, taken away over a year ago on the 6 mile loop, are not on the same tight timeline as preps for Global Citizen, unless, it is to create a "high speed micro-mobility" lane that went in right away!

It only took a minute to be ushered off because of unstated park "rules", yet an Amazon e-cargo bike can feel free to operate on public walkways in the Park with impunity.

I was asked to leave, politely, by Lindsay from the Conservancy that said this was a "planned maintenance day" listed on the website, and I complied. Ironically (perhaps purposely) the only folks on the lawn were planners from Global Citizen and Lindsay.

Beautiful Day! Unfortunately, @CentralPark_NYC has closed the Great Lawn today (w/o signage) and it will be closed from the 20th-30th for Global Citizen. Could it be worse timing? Are Parks for people? In 2023 Global did so much damage it had to be shut down 6 extra weeks! 1/

84th and Second. When the cheap, busted tactile corner mats break, @NYC_DOT solution is to make the corner even more dangerous with this slipshod "fix". Pathetic. Fix this before any more of your "improvements". @enforcelawsNYC

My ass. "Advocates" that are not advocates but work for a "non-profit" that takes funding from Lyft/Citibike and are lobbying for their donor to be subsidized by NYC.

A little misinformed on which e-bikes are legal. One would assume that so long as you stay at 15mph or less, you are legal, but since the Mayor and the bike lobby suddenly discovered "illegal" e-bikes, this is out of date.

Nice 2c @NYC_DOT + @NYPDCentralPark folks handing out flyers 2educate in @CentralPark_NYC The failed, ableist signal removal is a disaster, admitted one DOT employee "they should just put the lights back, some things look better on paper." @SpeakerMenin @GaleBrewerNYC @nyc_evsa

I'm time (and space) traveling again today on the "Diamond Q", car 5090 @mta. I got on at 86th, apparently well before the 57th and 7th origin stop. Btw, can they please clean the south end of the station which is apparently a urinal. 12 min wait + held in next station. Smh.

I'm on an uptown train on the N/Q line where one train is marked N in one car and Q in/on the next, and the announcements are inaudible. Nice work @MTA .

Thanks to @fuelgrannie for the reminder pic when the car haters, anti-safety lobby spins that Congestion Pricing had nothing to do with clean air....@GovKathyHochul and friends...

These whiny cry babies, (they are "ruining our joy" because of basic security precautions) , ironically call people advocating for e-bike safety "cranks". Who's cranky? Waaaah.

Today, and every day, @amazon blocking 50% of the available travel lanes (1/2) on Lexington Ave and 85th Street, at rush hour, next to wide open metered commercial parking. @SpeakerMenin @SeawrightForNY @AlexBores @vmmaloney

There was a @NYCSanitation corner can here that is no longer, instead, we have this! East 85th + Third Ave this am. I waved down a DSNY car, he looked, I pointed at this, he sped off. @jshgdmn maybe you could help?

Poor Lyft. They only pull in $6 Billion, and over $2 Billion in profits. Subsidize them? Hell no! Compare your 45 min ride to a cab ride, it's cheap. Maybe y'all should just take the train for $3!

Another day, another @amazon truck asserting their City-given right to park in the middle of traffic wherever and whenever they want. Here they are claiming one of the two lanes of traffic on Lex for distribution next to completely empty curb space set aside for them!

Linky @LincolnRestler runs a red light 8 seconds in, then blocks traffic, bike behind him blows stop sign, shows "cars" in bike lane that was a actually a city bus, and then a possible shoplifter runs behind him at the end. Is there zero self-awareness here?
.@NYC_DOT is fixing the infamous Crashland gap in the Ashland Place protected bike lane. But we also need them to fill adjacent crucial gaps in the bike lane network, so we can get to Ashland Pl safely! We are pushing with @CMCrystalHudson and @ShahanaFromBK to make it happen.

Art mural "pedestrian only" painted st in Union Square. Ugly boulders used to display Zohran tees. Filled w rule violating vendors w/stadium tents, e-bikes speeding thru pedestrians in the limited space that is not illegally occupied. A hodgepodge of issues in 1. Need a mango?

One of three pre-teens on @lyft @CitiBikeNYC e-bikes, no helmet, no clue on E 84th the other day in a small pack running through pedestrians. Citibike and Mamdani oppose facial recognition for age verification. How about banning accounts when children use parents accounts?

Again, is this what @NYC_DOT considers a "delivery hub" on 3rd Ave bet E 84th + E 85th? 4 slabs, 1 bike rack w/1 bike over most of the block, now mostly inaccessible to a street sweeper or a delivery truck? @nicolegelinas @SpeakerMenin @enforcelawsNYC @NYCMayor @SeawrightForNY

The @NYC_DOT is turning nice neighborhoods into shitholes. Look at this street "redesign" on Third Ave bet 84th + 85th. WTF is this? How do you clean the street? Deliveries, where, the bus lane? Ugly, gross!

Just one of the crashes in @CentralPark_NYC this week that required hospitalization. Where is the Conservancy to call THIS out? This is a regular occurrence. They have made the LESS safe for all users, especially those with disabilities, a clear ADA violation! @nicolegelinas

Happy July 4rh everyone! A wonderful day to cherish our freedom, independence, and self-determination. A great day to reflect on the incredible sacrifices made by our past and present servicemembers that fought and died to preserve this great country. Freedom isn't free.

6 blocks is 3/10th of a mile in 33 seconds= 32.7moh. And what was this at 96th Street that they blew through? Does this look like green light go?

I ditched the First Ave bus with a 12 minute wait for the Third Ave bus with a 17 min wait. @MTA Not Going Your Way! I can't believe that these guys can't figure out the basics! Actually l, I can believe it because it's been this way forever!!! @JulieMenin @vmmaloney

On the trail for @AlexBores in my repurposed OG campaign gear from previous successful runs for Assembly. AI is the issue and technology of our time, and we NEED @AlexBores in DC to educate and legislate for our safety and security. Time is running out! Vote for Alex today!

Throwback to June 2022 w an even younger @AlexBores . It was a heck of a battle, but I knew I had it right! Alex has done UES + NYS proud w far-reaching legislation that has improved the everyday lives of NYers. He's also a visionary on AI and the dangers associated. Vote BORES!

Feel for Scottie, Rory Tommy, and Ludwig. They got the worst of the conditions yesterday. The LIV boys got a break. Let's see what today brings. @usopengolf . The breeze is still there but less dramatic. Let's hope for consistent conditions today.
