The MTA is revisiting the idea of adding cantilevered bike and pedestrian paths to the Verrazzano Bridge. The last time this was proposed, they included a comically large and expensive ramp from the waterfront as the means to kill the project altogether.

It's 2023. Transportation is nearly a third of our state's emissions. Urban highways are widely recognized as a catastrophic mistake. There's a ton of federal infrastructure money. And NYSDOT has no vision, no plan, no interest in rethinking the BQE? nyc.streetsblog.org/2023/02/09/the…

Good news for economy class air travelers: When boarding, if you see an empty seat in first class, you can now take it because, according to a Supreme Court justice, if it’s empty, it’s free.

Huge step forward for a New York City with cleaner air, fewer cars, and safer streets 🤩

Worth mentioning, again, NYPD overtime will be close to $1B and they’ll see every penny, but the people actually doing important infrastructure work are getting stiffed.

Guess it's too humid to park legally? placard corruption NYPD 71st Precinct

Happy hot humid morning! More corruption, fraud, waste, & abuse by HTA1471, who thinks it's ok to illegally block a fire hydrant. Oh, and look, a history of traffic violations! Someone thinks they're above the law. placard corruption danny lam it's your placard Juan it's your beat

“A new report adds to a growing line of research showing that police departments don’t solve serious or violent crimes with any regularity, and in fact, spend very little time on crime control, in contrast to popular narratives.” reuters.com/legal/governme…

If you're a New York City Council member and you get caught by reporters with a felony crime in your driveway, don't worry. The NYPD NEWS will help you out right away with some cosplay to rehabilitate your "law & order" image. #Propaganda #CultureOfCorruption x.com/VickieforNYC/s…

DocGo’s treatment of the migrants in its care is horrifying. There should be a full accounting of their work and why they received such a massive no-bid contract without any relevant experience in shelter operations. nytimes.com/2023/07/30/nyr…

It’s not just DocGo— another COVID-era contractor is getting big bucks from the city. And this one got dinged by the comptrollers office for wasteful spending during the early years of the pandemic. My latest for Gothamist: gothamist.com/news/nyc-vendo…

Highlighting this because it's important to get it right - stop blaming the victim, the e-bikes, the scooters. "What is killing users of 50 lb. machines going 25 mph are the 4,000 lb. machines that can go 100+ mph." electrek.co/2023/07/30/the…

Why is Mayor Eric Adams Adams administration shutting down this vibrant food hub and economic center for immigrant workers? This is the opposite of what “economic development” should be.

Many of NICE: New Immigrant Community Empowerment do street vending to support their families. NICE: New Immigrant Community Empowerment stand with Street Vendor Project & #Corona Plaza Street Vendors Assoc (AVA). Street Vendors are hard-working immigrant workers and driving sources of #NYC local economy. Corona Street Vendors need to be back!

Wow finally got to check “get trapped in the NYCT Subway for 2.5 hours with no cell service, ventilation, and minimal information, then evacuate by emergency exit staircase” off my NYC bingo card.

Over two hours stuck on an F train between Jay Street and Bergen. MTA , our conductor was great - informative, professional, sympathetic, and with good humor. Give her a raise, have her train others. You've got a talented employee thar deserves recognition.

I want to recognize the great work of MTA conductor Theresa Footman, who demonstrated extraordinary professionalism, calm, and humor in last week’s power failure that required evacuation of 3,500 riders last Weds. Amazing poise in a very difficult situation.

Great PSA from an MTA bus driver for anyone complaining about getting tickets for parking in the #buslane or #busstop. Just don't do it. You're slowing everyone else down, and thankfully you're now going to pay for that monetarily. #nyctransit #mta
