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

"Jersey City deserves a fresh start– free from the past and with a vision for our future. Jersey City deserves a government as good as its people. I, alone, cannot deliver that, but *together* we can.” - James Solomon

I just signed this letter in support of the Heights Bike Lane because 1. JC should get this grant funding 2. considerable pedestrian, cyclist, and driver safety benefits 3. it’s one step in offering community non-car options, which also must include more + better public transit

Jersey City has started an incredible experiment to deter Turnpike traffic *and* make Columbus Dr safer for commuters & kids: No left-turns going north on Columbus between 6am-9am. It's finally *faster* to stay on the Turnpike vs cutting-through JC. Thank you Mayor Steven Fulop

Just 2 days ago Donald Trump said he’s gonna protect women whether they like it or not? Donnie please... Protection for women, especially if we're talking about maternal and mental healthcare, isn't telling them WHAT to do with their bodies it's supporting them and giving them

We all know Trump was a hustler, but hustling women out of the rights to THEIR OWN body is nasty work!! Hustling Americans out of their hard earned money by selling $500 Trump Sneakers, $60 Trump Bibles, and $100,000 Trump Watches is even nastier!! Tomorrow he’ll be hustling you

.Mikie Sherrill: If this is your plan for NJ TRANSIT, you're planning to fail: "a combination of...resources in [NJ] and more money coming in from Washington." There won't be federal support under Trump, but NJ's governor can stop an $11B Turnpike widening and use that money.

Transportation has been a key part of what we have done to change #JerseyCity . We have done more in transportation than any municipality in NJ and I’m very proud of what we have built with little help from the state. Couple bullet points below in the thread:

🧵 On congestion pricing…. I’m in an entirely different place than the press releases in opposition from Trump, Sherrill, Gottheimer, and Murphy. First, This NJ Governor election is about bold leadership and solutions. The question is whether you want someone that just repeats

If elected Governor I will implement #VisionZero statewide to reimagine our roads. That’s a commitment. Results and track record should matter- In Jersey City we were the first city in NJ to commit and by far the most successful. We decreased traffic related fatalities by 90%.

Mass transit investment is crucial. We submitted a formal letter to the Port Authority prior to their budget vote to express our dissatisfaction with their current support for the PATH + the steady deterioration of service. If NJ is going to grow a proper investment in

Investing in a PATH expansion and other transit solutions, like bus-only lanes and light rail, will benefit the entire region by alleviating traffic and reducing emissions and crashes. Thank you Steven Fulop Ravinder S. Bhalla Rob Menendez Assemblywoman Barbara McCann Stamato and John Allen

Gov Murphy… this is out of touch. You have potential ICE Raids as the Governor of the most diverse state in the country, you have potential attacks on the LGBtQ community, you have a president that doesn’t prioritize the environment…. And you prioritize congestion pricing which

As a mayor of Jersey City, I don't think anyone in the state has more direct experience in the state than I do when it comes to mass transit. As Governor, I would cancel the turnpike widening project and reallocate the money to create a system that is safe, reliable and clean.

Steven Fulop I am paid to work on the Turnpike widening project for my job and I would be happy to see it canceled. It seems completely unnecessary to widen the least congested part of the highway, more and better transit service instead, please!

This bike lane would provide residents of the Heights more options for travel between two parks and P.S. 8, as well as the potential to connect to Hoboken, the Essex-Hudson Greenway, and a north-south bike lane to Journal Square. Safety and access for all ages and abilities.

Let's be clear. The Turnpike Authority's plan is not a safety project. It *doubles* the number of lanes to 8 with two bridges for $6.7B. Repair was the NJTA's own proposal, just $260M for 40-years of life. Mayor Steven Fulop is right – repair not expand. newjerseyglobe.com/governor/fulop…

And we’re starting traffic studies now to explore No Turn on Red being thoughtful on where/how to implement across JC. We’re aiming to move on this by year’s end too.

Let’s go! 💜
