EXCLU: the feds have rejected NYC's $800 million applications for grants to redesign and reconstruct the crumbling BQE triple cantilever, following substantial community opposition to the Adams administration's proposals. amny.com/transit/feds-r…
“A planned renovation of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway in New York City raises the opportunity to consider community input and environmental justice when implementing the major infrastructure project.” From @rff: resources.org/common-resourc…
Walkable cities, to remind you what we gave up for cars 🚘, a thread 🧵 Madras
A coalition of over 190 organizations nationwide are calling on elected leaders to adopt a moratorium on expanding highways and a pause on existing projects until climate, equity, and maintenance goals are met. Find out how you can help. usa.streetsblog.org/2024/02/06/fre…
This is a big. deal. We need more public transit, more green spaces, not more highways.
NEW: Billions of dollars that New York is receiving through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law can go to roads or greener forms of transit. So far, New York is choosing roads. nysfocus.com/2024/02/05/bid…
New York City's transportation emissions are off-course by 32% in order to be on track to comply with legal mandates. Transportation emissions are the #2 source of greenhouse gases in NYC. More car infrastructure means more driving. We must invest in sustainable transportation.

We can't continue wasting billions every year on roads and highways. We're proud to be part of New Yorkers for Transportation Equity, a new statewide coalition fighting for fair funding for safe, reliable transportation options for all New Yorkers, from Long Island to Buffalo!
To reach NYS's climate and livability goals, we must reduce car trips by one-fifth, advocates and state @Sen_Gounardes say. Can @GovKathyHochul get it done, or will it be business as usual? nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/02/06/sta…

Great thread on how we (Americans, notably) have been socialized to think car culture is the standard — and why it matters.
Why criticizing car dependency (car culture) is vital af. A thread 🧵
Louder for the people in the back 📢📢📢
More people ride the G each day than use the BQE. During this maintenance work, the city must provide high-quality, reliable service for G train riders.

Installed a crosswalk on Atlantic Ave between Hoyt St and Smith St today. Two more mid-block crossings coming soon 👀🎨
What if—instead of misery and stress—our streets could bring us joy? What if—instead of incentivizing physical inactivity—they could help us build movement into our daily lives? What if—instead of isolating and pushing us apart—they could encourage cooperation and conviviality?
The city before the automobile. Streetcars, bicycles, pedestrians, horses. Quieter, more relaxed, and people still got where they needed to go. (And got some fresh air, too.) A dreamy view of #Barcelona, Carrer Gran de Gràcia, 1909. 🚋🧵

How do “tragic accidents” happen? By consistently choosing cars over people. These aren’t accidents. They’re the inevitable results of our choices. Part of @tomflood1’s campaign to use car company marketing techniques against them. People over cars.
This is insulting to the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers who rely on Access-A-Ride to get around. Access-A-Ride spots are NOT free parking spots for cops or people with placards. This has to stop.
NEW: Brooklyn accessibility advocates have for years tried to keep an Access-A-Ride spot outside their office clear of placard/cop cars. However, even the mayor's own Office for People with Disabilities can't keep the spots outside *its own building* clear nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/01/26/the…

The BQE-EJC is fighting for a city that prioritizes equitable transportation and climate justice. Thanks for covering, @StreetsblogNYC !
Why are we blindly repeating Robert Moses's mistake at the BQE, a coalition of groups wants to know: nyc.streetsblog.org/2023/12/18/com…
💪💚
BQE-EJC, uniting 17 orgs, continues to urge Gov. Hochul to rethink NYC's BQE plan. Emphasizing health & environmental justice, we seek a community-centered overhaul. A united stand for a greener, healthier NYC! #BQEChange #EcoJustice 🌻🌿🛣️ 📌@BklynEagle brooklyneagle.com/articles/2023/…
