I’ve been a booster of New York City’s bike revolution all along, but it’s in the past few years that the system has really started to reach maturity in Manhattan. And for all that we complain, it’s remarkable, among the most significant transformations of its kind in the world.

A Citi Bike ride shouldn’t cost a penny more than a subway or bus ride. We’ve got a bill to cap e-bike fees at $3 and end Citi Bike-flation.

I greatly appreciate the NYC Sanitation sweep of Bedford Ave #bikenyc lane! Smooth to ride right behind it! Can we get the smaller sweepers here next time though so we’re not destroying the street trees so much? NYC Parks may want to check for broken branches now. TA Brooklyn (TABK)

Lincoln Restler what about the cost of a day pass for visitors? Friends visit from abroad and are shocked at the price compared to other places. Often they refuse to pay.

We took the Trump Administration to court after they illegally froze funding for the Second Avenue Subway. Today, they backed down. The freeze is over. For East Harlem and every New Yorker who relies on our subways, release our money immediately.

More Empire Bins are coming to NYC! Empire Bins are on-street sealed trash containers for medium and larger apartment buildings. And they help make NYC clean and keep critters away. They are already being used – successfully – in parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Today,

Majority Leader Shaun Abreu got the ball rolling on this: the first pilot was in his district a few years ago! Thanks to his strong leadership, trash containerization is expanding to more and more neighborhoods around the city 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

DOT out there pouring a *concrete* sidewalk extension at 3rd/26th and I don’t even know why (this isn’t a big r reckless-right-turn conflict spot and there’s no bus stop here) but the more of this the better

Bruh, are we really trying to argue that European cities aren't way cleaner than NYC with the big leaking bags all over the streets?

Bike lanes are transpo infra that many people enjoy, containerized trash is a basic necessity for solving NYC’s intractable sanitation problems — conflating the two really gives the game away about how NYC drivers think, doesn’t it

Another reason why Bins will be a huge improvement: Missed pickups. In my experience DSNY misses around 5% of pickups on a regular day. Holidays and snow emergencies are non-service days-- but many buildings put trash out anyway leading to citywide stank. Bins solve this.

If you see a bin marking your neighborhood on this map, your community district will have rat-proof trash containers and automated side-loading garbage trucks by the end of 2027! Every neighborhood in New York City will be containerized by the end of 2031. Tough day for rats,

The stats here are kind of remarkable. BART's new fare gates have led to a 1,000-hour decline in clean up time; 41% drop in crime; and $10 million increase in projected revenue. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/04/…
