We joined nearly 120 organizations & elected officials to demand @GovKathyHochul start congestion pricing on June 30. Congestion pricing is an effective policy tool to fight many of our region's biggest issues. We can't afford to wait. Read the letter: transalt.org/press-releases…
On Tuesday June 18 Queens Community Board 6 voted to send a letter to @GovKathyHochul asking her to immediately end her "pause" of the #CongestionPricing Toll and allow it to be implemented as originally scheduled on June 30, 2024.
We knew that this may affect our LIRR project. We now have confirmation that it did. @GovKathyHochul needs to revert her awful, dangerous policy right now!
Thanks @GovKathyHochul . #ForestHills LIRR accessibility station upgrades have been halted due to your pause of #CongestionPricing. Cc: @RepGraceMeng @LeroyComrie @SenJoeAddabbo @AndrewHevesi @Lynn4NYC @QnsBPRichards @QueensCB6 #CongestionPricingNow
Happy Friday Everyone! If you haven't already signed out petition for a Safer Austin Street, please do! change.org/ASaferAustinSt…
Thanks to @QueensCB6 for doing this! Our neighborhood cannot survive without transit. @GovKathyHochul MUST undo her decision to defund the @MTA !
It was a close vote but @QueensCB6 passed a resolution tonight supporting #CongestionPricing and directing it's Chair to send a letter to @GovKathyHochul, cc'd to local electeds, asking that she end her pause and implement congestion pricing as originally scheduled.
TOMORROW: Join our Queens Activist Committee at Lowery Plaza for a rally in support of congestion pricing. Tell @GovKathyHochul: She can't cancel cleaner air, faster buses, and less traffic! Let us know if you can make it: mobilize.us/transalt/event…
Our public hearing for #CityofYes Housing Opportunity is on Tuesday, June 4 at 6:30 PM at 61-35 Junction Boulevard (97th & Horace Harding) 🗣️Sign up early @ [email protected] to make a public comment. 🛑Sign up will close at 3 PM on 6/4
📢Public Hearing - City Of Yes! Housing Opportunity 📆When: June 4 @ 6:30 PM 🏬Where: Rego Center Mall Community Room 61-35 Junction Boulevard (Enter on 97th St & Horace Harding) 🧵1/2
This shows how much decay the street has experienced, with @NYC_DOT and @NYCMayor ignoring it. The street needs to prioritize pedestrians! And it is in dire need of new paving and drainage upgrades! The city is spending mils on downtowns around the city, when it is our turn?
A word toward @ASaferAustinSt: On Friday afternoon I fell crossing Austin St. and Continental Av. I'm physically OK other than some ugly bruises. There's a dip right in the middle of the intersection, so watch your step (unlike me) if you're crossing diagonally. 1/2
This is tomorrow! Please show up if you can!
Hey Astoria! Join us to share feedback on proposed cycling, pedestrian, and public space improvements along 31st Ave. When: 5/30, 5-7PM Where: The Variety Boys & Girls Club of Queens, 21-12 30th Rd. Astoria, NY 11102
If you haven't already, please sign our online petition to finally fix Austin Street! chng.it/hHdd8r8mMx
Our volunteers were out again at the Forest Hills Farmers market collecting signatures and engaging with the community. Lots of support to #FixAustinStreet! And more additions to our whiteboard of ideas! @Lynn4NYC @yating_liu @NYC_DOT
🧵Have concerns about #CityofYes Housing Opportunity? Want to testify at an upcoming meeting? Here is what we recommend.⤵️ 1/4
Thank you! This specific stretch was highlighted on our Austin St walkthrough. You can read about other issues we documented here: asaferaustinstreet.com/news/mapping-a…
We Saw...We Heard...We Acted! Scaffolding on a stretch of Austin Street, near 72nd Rd., was impeding pedestrians, particularly older adults and those with disabilities. Glad to report that my office was able to get @NYC_Buildings to remove the scaffolding ⏬️
At the market, we asked our neighbors and visitors to write what they wanted to see done in order to get them to spend time on Austin Street. Have a look! 👀 @Lynn4NYC @AndrewHevesi @QnsBPRichards @QueensCB6 @shopforesthills @NYC_DOT
Another great day at a rainy ☔️ and windy 🌬️ tabling event at the Farmers Market! We shared the space with our new neighbor, Central Qns Micromobility! Check out some pics here! Stay tuned for more info on our next tabling event! For more info on CQMM 👇 centralqueensmicro.wordpress.com
We're happy to see #SammysLaw be included in the NYS budget. Lower speeds save lives, but a sign with a number is not enough. @NYC_DOT must continue redesigning streets with safety, especially for pedestrians, as the main priority!

You don't have to look at other countries. Newark St is a great local example of what happens when you build for people! Let's #FixAustinSteet! @Lynn4NYC @QueensCB6 @QnsBPRichards @NYC_DOT @yating_liu
We did this but prior to our admin wasn’t political will for change. Now we’re going to extend the area further w/constructing a large playground as an extension on the stretch on Barrow Street between Newark/Columbus. It will energize with children/parents. Will attract family
businesses on @ASaferAustinSt, can we talk. This is such a wonderful adjustment

It's easy to blame the truck, but ask yourself: how many people are served by the bus and truck, vs the cheap parking on the curb that's blocking the truck? There's limited space on #FixAustinStreet. It should prioritize the many! @NYC_DOT @Lynn4NYC @QueensCB6 @QnsBPRichards
