Expansion of automated enforcement is key - we passed legislation to quadruple the number of red light cameras in NYC, and the Governor should sign it. I also have a bill that would suspend the registration of vehicles caught on red light cameras 5 times in a 12 month period

Borough Hall on Your Block: Rockaway is underway! And there's no better way to start than by investing in street safety That's why I'm allocating $500K toward the reconfiguration of the dangerous Beach Channel Drive-Seagirt Boulevard-Beach 35th Street intersection in Edgemere.

In the last 5 years, there have been 12 crashes at this confusing seven-leg intersection, resulting in 19 injuries. Thankfully, no one died in those crashes. But we're not waiting until someone loses their life to take action. That's what Borough Hall on Your Block is about.

We stood with Sen. Mike Gianaris, Families For Safe Streets, Transportation Alternatives, and the family of Jael Zhinin at the intersection of 46th St and 47th Ave where a truck driver tragically killed Jael in June. 14 children, including Jael, have been killed in crashes this year; that is unacceptable.

Today we stood behind the grieving mother of Jael Zhinin, 16, who was killed by a truck driver on the last day of school to call for the swift implementation of #SammysLaw, #universaldaylighting, scramble crosswalks & #schoolstreets to keep NYC Public Schools students safe.

Congestion pricing was debated and approved by legislators who were *checks notes* elected at the voting machine. The governor cannot pick or choose what laws to follow. It’s time to start congestion pricing.

It's been a long time, but the finished, permanent, 1st Ave #bikenyc tunnel is so beautiful! Life-saving bike infrastructure is not optional EVER and we need more of it to address our #ClimateCrisis. #UNGA

More than a million students are back in school now, and no child should have to go back to school amid such a grave threat to their safety. Mayor Adams and our city’s leaders must act now.

It was like pulling teeth to fight for this simple, lifesaving street improvement but we got it done! Kathy Park Price is a f*cking legend! And shoutout to the entire Transportation Alternatives team, Jabari Brisport, biking groups, and countless community members who helped us get here 💚

11% of new riders on fare-free buses used the bus instead of a car or taxi they used prior. Making buses free gets people out of cars and into public transit. Sen. Mike Gianaris and I write in The Nation about the successes of the fare-free bus pilot. thenation.com/article/societ…

I've been to far too many of these press conferences and stood with too many grieving families. We know exactly how to prevent these tragedies. Thank you too Families For Safe Streets , Council Member Julie Won and Sen. Mike Gianaris for supporting the family and fighting to make our streets safer.

“And that doesn’t include the $15 billion hole in the agency's current capital plan caused by Gov. Kathy Hochul’s order to pause congestion pricing.”

Visited NYC DOT's new 1st Ave #bikenyc express route ("the UNGA Tunnel") and grabbed a few quick clips to further explain to all how it works. For those wondering you can stay local above on 1st Ave or go express from 41st to 49th. Fun! Streetsblog New York Open Plans Bike New York
