Note all the people just casually walking who do not flinch, slow down or change course as they are approached by people on bicycles because they know the difference between a real threat (cars) and someone who is as vulnerable as they are (bikes) who is not going to hit them.

You simply love to see it
NYC may have accidently developed a Builder's Remedy in Prop 2? The 12 CDs with the lowest rates of affordable housing will qualify for ELURP, whichbypasses City Council in favor of the BSA, which is being stacked with YIMBYs This has made NIMBY areas *terrified* into building

I love this time of year but it sucks that when I open my windows for fresh air I have to hear selfish drivers honking all day and into the night.

An account that blocked me said that 18th and Broadway is not pedestrian friendly and the evidence was a calm video that is 100x better than any car centric Manhattan Avenue lol. Bikes truly have broken these people's brains.

For #UNGA NYC creates a lane on 42nd so leaders can get around. It’s done w/o any consideration for how NYers get around, as sidewalks are blocked, too. A dedicated bus or walk lane would take years of public hearings to achieve this. Why can’t the people get the same treatment?

average number of people who fly in the entire US on a typical day: 2.9 million number of people who took the subway yesterday in New York: 4.7 million
Nearly 4.7 million people rode the subway yesterday, a new post-pandemic record! The subway is New York City’s lifeblood, and our investments in safety and reliability are paying off.

It is great to see so many elected officials supporting the proposed Dekalb/Lafayette improvements! Thanks @CMCrystalHudson @OsseChi @ReynosoBrooklyn @LincolnRestler for fighting for complete streets that center the needs of bus riders and cyclists + safety.
We’re glad to see @NYC_DOT proposing bus lanes for the B38 - 18,000 riders per day will see faster trips! 🚌 Back in the spring, local electeds signed a letter in support of improvements to Dekalb and Lafayette. Looking forward to seeing the red carpet rolled out this fall!

10:30pm on a random weekday, Delancey is hard-gridlocked where pedestrians can’t even cross on the green. Too bad we don’t have policy tools to discourage traffic on gridlock alert m days— oh wait the Leg passed one but Kathy Hochul negotiated it away for nothing

Sucks that New York always looks like the "before" photo. But it's heartening to know there is a path forward! We just need to stop catering to whiny drivers.
Avant / Après Rue Saint-Julien Le Pauvre dans le 5ème arrondissement de Paris. L'endroit est piéton depuis un moment, mais en 1970, il y avait beaucoup de voitures garées. Notez l'ancien bâtiment au milieu à gauche qui a été refait en plus "allongé" !

After a series of tragic pedestrian deaths across Manhattan, it's time we take bold action to protect Manhattanites.   That's why I'm supporting Majority Leader @ShaunAbreu's bill to pilot Low-Traffic Neighborhoods, or LTNs, across the city.    The bill would require the City to install at least two different types of traffic-calming devices in five city neighborhoods, like speed humps, medians or barriers at intersections to force drivers to slow down.
NYC lawmakers want 'low-traffic neighborhoods' with more speed humps, street changes gothamist.com/news/nyc-lawma…

It’s weird that car activists use the 3rd Ave bike lane as an example of poor planning. It’s heavily used!! There’s frequently as many cyclists as cars!

Maddening that NYC seemingly dedicates more state capacity to policing windows in historic districts than preventing auto-body shops from obstructing the sidewalk. This block is right on the way to the Broadway Junction subway station!

Paving and re-striping York Ave in Manhattan and keeping it as a 6 lane highway is a complete dereliction of duty by the DOT.

@nick_benson @vinbarone @JeremyMarrell why are we locking in outdated street design? Is this a progressive administration or not? Do we believe in climate change or not? Do we care about giving people safe ways to move around or is it cars first just like the last 100 years?

What’s the plan to stop reckless drivers from endangering pedestrians? How can this lawlessness happen so close to the UN?

I could shoot this video clip EVERY day in EVERY neighborhood! What business can you open in NYC: -that takes up EVERY parking space on the block -double & triple parks cars ALL day -BLOCKS sidewalks completely w/parked cars? Auto dealerships & car repair shops! And NYPD will NEVER ticket you. @StreetsblogNYC @OpenPlans

A regular sight downtown: A massive truck illegally blocking the box, snarling traffic and putting people in danger. New York City can't let drivers obstruct intersections and crosswalks with impunity.
Who could possibly consider trucks like this compatible with an urban environment? The driver can't see a single person passing in front of them.
