In Brooklyn's 26th State Senate District, we're excited to endorse Andrew Gounardes for re-election. Hands down, no one has done more in Albany the past four years to make streets safer. Read more about Andrew Gounardes here: streetspac.org/2022_nys_senat…

Good to see Nicole catching up to our turn-of-the-century research showing vastly elevated NYC killer-driving by young motorists. We look forward to her either backing up or giving up the notion that @nycmayor has a plan to attack that. nypost.com/2022/08/13/you…

Unf*cking believable. Grieving daughter blames bike lane for causing the driver of an SUV w 168 violations, including 20 for speeding in school zones, for mounting a curb on a Bronx residential street and impaling her mom on a fence, killing her: nypost.com/2022/09/10/nyc…

"Officers were responding to a report of a stolen car when they drove over the double yellow line in the road to get around a vehicle in front of them." The result: a curb-jumping crash injuring 10 citizens, 4 critically. Policing in NYC is so broken. nytimes.com/2022/10/06/nyr…

Staged by Right of Way & photographed by Rabi Abonour 8 yrs ago today (a day as blustery & frigid as yesterday), the 50th anniv of the Verrazano Bridge's opening to cars & trucks. It's now 58 years, and still no bike-ped access plan in sight. Bike New York Transportation Alternatives MTA NYC DOT

Shardy was arrested in retaliation for organizing a memorial ride and criticizing the NYPD response to cyclists being killed by drivers on the streets of NYC. And the targeting of Shardy and his rides was blatantly racist. Proud to be representing him. nyc.streetsblog.org/2022/12/02/bik…

Like most Right of Way late-1990s op-eds, this essay, published 25 yrs ago today, took no prisoners in sending up car culture & their media protectors. (Talking about you, New York Post .) Breaking the mold somewhat, it ends as a tearjerker. Bring Kleenex: rightofway.org/some-deaths

"The backlash to the effort to build more housing in the suburbs has evoked language that might have brought a smile to a Southern segregationist in the era of 'states’ rights.'" -- @maragay nytimes.com/2023/03/22/opi… Which pic is from NIMBY rally, and which from Wallace for prez?

In light of yesterday's mass school shooting in Nashville, we again remind you that by any reasonable definition of childhood, cars and other m.v.'s kill more U.S. kids than do firearms. (This isn't to whitewash guns, it's to highlight guns and cars alike as scourges.)

Can almost guarantee the NYPD will crack down on cyclists safely navigating NYC's broken infrastructure and traffic rather than the drivers barreling through it and killing them. Crackdown on drivers turning across and parking in bike lanes? No chance. nyc.streetsblog.org/2023/04/10/new…

For someone as penetrating as roxane gay, and writing about "the ruin of public life," this piece is disturbingly complacent about traffic violence's toll on individuals, families, communities and, yes, public life.

Our guerrilla campaigns against NYC traffic violence -- in 1996-99 & 2013-15 -- were borne from love of humans and abhorrence of cars, not from personal loss. If we had lost loved ones, the hatred we would feel right now for NYS legislative "leadership" would be boundless.

Barring an 11:59 miracle, we're gonna need a plan to do big reputational damage to @carlheastie whenever a speeder runs over a NYC youngster. Count us in.
