Glad to see a spotlight on a few of the ways the Adams Administration is addressing the lithium-ion battery fire issue by 1) piloting on-street chargers, 2) setting safety standards for the devices sold + 3) supporting outside and City-led trade-in programs for unsafe devices.

Right now, New York City has no control over its speed limits. Sammy’s Law would change this. We need Albany to #PassSammysLaw in the budget now!

it’s wild that coastal cities have spent years debating if YIMBY policies will lower rents, and Austin just… did it they streamlined permitting, upzoned most of the city, and eliminated parking mandates. Tons of housing is going up and rents are plummeting. YIMBY policies work

We're wrapping up #VisionZeroCities day one with e-bikes. E-bikes can make safe, affordable, low-emissions mobility accessible for millions — but not if they're the enemy. Thank you to Miller Nuttle, Melinda Hanson ⚡️, Emily Jabbour, Councilperson-At-Large, Christy and Sarah Thorne of Colorado Energy Office.
