Perhaps Slightly Fewer Cars JC@CarsDontFitJC

Journal Sq to Liberty State Park 200 cars & 4 buses, stuck in traffic 200 drivers could fit on 4 buses This is a failed transportation system. Bus and bike lanes have 5-10x more capacity & 5-10x less emissions, noise, pollution, violence, and cost (citations follow 🧵👇)

Most of @JerseyCity remains unserved bikejc.github.io/maps?l=wbc @DeniseRidleyJC @miramira4 @BoggianoWardC @yousefjsaleh @EducationalGil1 access to @CitiBikeNYC would be incredible for your constituents. Great way to connect people to transit, their neighborhoods, & rest of JC

Huge opportunity to expand @CitiBikeNYC to the rest of @HudCoTweet as well Millions of trips per month could be made cleaner/cheaper/safer/faster Nothing else would improve traffic, health, & wealth so much and so quickly @CraigGuy2023 @YLipski @WilliamBillOdea @AnthonyLRomano

NJ’s 2 biggest cities are ≈6mi apart, and connected by several bridges, all of which are highways, none of which are safely passable by foot, bike, or other mobility devices. @GovMurphy @Teepeea2Diane

1 Lincoln Tunnel bus lane moves 10x as many people as 3 car lanes 6 lanes → 2 at Holland Tunnel = a fraction the trips as each PATH tube @GovMurphy @Teepeea2Diane are engineering a historic transportation+climate disaster, spending $10BNs widening highways + building 0 transit
NJ→NY crossings, peak hour (8-9am, Fall business day). Lincoln Tunnel, pre-COVID: - Buses: 30-35%, 32k-38k entries/hr - Autos: 3%, 3k entries/hr Lincoln Tunnel, post-COVID: buses down to 14k/hr, autos up to 5k/hr, (30+% and 11% overall share, resp.) https://github.com/neighbor-ryan/hudson-transit

Today’s decision by @USDOT to allow New York’s congestion pricing plan to move forward is unfair and ill-advised. I support congestion pricing conceptually, but it must be fair to all sides. Placing an unjustified financial burden on hardworking New Jersey commuters is wrong.

That slip-left onto 5th could maybe be squared up? It's a long + treacherous crosswalk across 5th. Extending the PBL will help as well… Just wanted to mention, hope the improvements can continue down there 🙏 cc @mjmanzella225

The Brooklyn Bridge carries half as many people as it did in 1902, because personal automobiles are the worst way to move people

Rode Coles PBL yesterday, looks great, emailed City about extending from 14th to 12th piped.video/watch?v=q7iktBek… Should only require paint; Coles narrows 12th to 10th, so PBL is more difficult there, but 12th St underpass to Monmouth would be a reasonable end for Coles PBL, for now
Coles PBL ends at 14th St underpass, but Coles remains wide enough to extend PBL to 12th. S/b cyclists could use the 12th St underpass to cut West to S/b Monmouth, avoiding Coles between 12th and 10th, which is narrower and higher-conflict.

Continue Coles PBL from 14th to 12th (Coles only narrows South of 12th) Help S/b cyclists use the 12th St underpass to Monmouth (calmer route from 12th down to 10th)

Extending Coles PBL 1 block to 13th would give S/b cyclists one option for cutting over to Monmouth, to proceed down to 10th while avoiding the narrower stretch of Coles between 12th and 10th

18th & Coles: square up intersection eliminate W/b slip lane connect Coles/Hoboken/18th PBLs slip lane space can be a pocket park

Street parking in JC is >99% subsidized: - avg market rate: $3,000 / year - residential permit: $20 / year 60,000 on-street spaces = $200MM/yr subsidy of car ownership. This is terrible policy / socializes costs of car ownership (Source: JC Parking Plan jerseycitynj.gov/residentres…)
Jersey City On-Street Parking, by the Numbers: - Approximately 60,000 on-street parking spaces - Approximately 1,600 metered parking spaces - Approximately 30,000 off-street parking spaces Map shows on-street parking on basically every street in the city.

Beyond embarrassing that the NJ Senate signed on to this bill, while NJ is experiencing a surge in traffic violence github.com/bikejc/njsp @mayorstack @SandraBCunningh you should be ashamed of this vote.

Citi Bike usage in JC+Hoboken has avg'd 23% annual growth for 6yrs ctbk.dev/#/?r=jh (Hoboken launched May 2021, shows demand for expansion of network) In JC alone, April 2021 to 2022 increased 62% Easy to miss cyclists bc they're smaller, quieter, & not stuck in traffic

Why parking is even worse than you thought. Cities around the world are abolishing parking requirements🚗🅿️. Toronto 🇨🇦 is just the latest. But why?!👇 Parking requirements - a thread🧵
