Did you know that daylighting is mandated by NY State law, but NYC opts out? Tell your elected official you want safe streets and universal daylighting. 📢 📨action.openplans.org/support-univer…
Question 1 from Chair @CMBrooksPowers to @NYC_DOT: Can you give us a YTD update on how many miles of protected bus lanes have you built this year? DOT: We're making more and more progress every day. Chair: A number, please. DOT: ... So, that's how this hearing is going 🙃
Join us Thursday for a critical workshop with @NYC_DOT to help create the plan for street safety in Astoria! Let’s save lives, y’all. RSVP: forms.gle/jrTqp3NnWk1AjP…
Literally everyone wants mass transit to be comfortable! The crux of the issue is that some people want to make this work through police and carceral means (bad!) while other folks want to make sure everyone has access to things that improve their quality of life.
I suspect this will have an astronomically bigger impact on how people positively perceive cities and “density done well” than anything a city planner like me will ever say. Thanks @taylorswift13. #DensityDoneWell #TaylorSwift
Look at this. Just look at this.
12:45pm NYC Weather Update: Too hot, too humid, gross, sweating, disgusting, struggling to breathe, etc.
#SammysLaw would allow NYC to set its own speed limits so we can lower it to 20 mph. The NY Senate's passed it, and the governor will it. I just called Speaker Heastie asking to put Sammy's Law (A7266) to an Assembly vote. Can you ask too? ☎️ Call @CarlHeastie at (518) 455-3791
NYC is about to take a big step toward Sammy's Law and lower speed limits. Thank you @CMJenGutierrez @LincolnRestler @LindaBRosenthal @bradhoylman @NYC_DOT @NYC_SafeStreets for your leadership & dedication to desperately needed safer streets. This will save lives.
A new bill sponsored by @Bobby4Brooklyn @SalazarSenate would give NYers 50% back (up to $1,100) on their e-bike & e-scooters, making them much more accessible to riders of all kinds. Ditching the car for a cargo bike can change lives, just watch the @Streetfilms clip below!
This must have been a specially bad day on Austin St, right? Wrong. This is every day. No one is benefiting from this, not the businesses, not the pedestrians, not the drivers, not the bus riders. It's time to #FixAustinStreet! @Lynn4NYC @shopforesthills @NYC_DOT @yating_liu
Making buses free will make them safer, faster and universally accessible—all while providing relief to working-class NYers. That’s why it’s a key part of our plan to #FixTheMTA. And it’s within reach—go to fixthemta.org/support and ask your state rep to support the package
Your weekly reminder that this is much better than car storage.

we've spent the last 7+ months at @OpenPlans and @TransAlt working on a toolkit about school streets and how to create public spaces for kids to play! we're hosting a celebration on this MONDAY (1/23) at 6 pm over zoom, come join us at the link here: bit.ly/3vRW7Tj!
My office is dedicated to building a more sustainable & equitable NYC. That's why I'm asking @NYCSanitation to reconsider their decision to pause the Queen's composting program this winter. An accessible and reliable composting program is what our communities deserve.

Here's @LuciaDLite talking about how CB5 in Bronx passed a daylighting resolution asking for more in her neighborhood. We found a pretty nice example to talk about on Grand Concourse. @OpenPlans @StreetsblogNYC
This was the first piece of legislation I helped draft and worked on in my career — and it’s finally law! A long time coming!
🚨🚨We just passed new language in the budget to require audits of luxury apartment buildings that receive 421a tax credits to ensure that landlords are complying with the law. No longer can landlords get away with claiming they have affordable units that they actually don’t!
Can't stop won't stop @31stAveOS
The movement to daylight all of NYC is growing! Seven Community Boards, in three boroughs, representing over 1 million New Yorkers, have now passed resolutions asking DOT to daylight their district for safer, more accessible streets. #daylighting
AWTAH for holding our applause until this actually gets done instead of celebrating yet another "commitment" from City Hall to fix our streets? #GetStuffDoneUnlessSomeoneComplainsAboutIt
DOT will daylight 1,000 intersections a year, in addition to 1,000 other intersections safety redesigns, DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez announces at City Hall this morning
We’re sowing the seeds for a successful city. With @NYC_DOT, we're proud to announce a $12 million investment in public realm & streetscape improvements along Steinway St in Astoria through the Strategy for Equity and Economic Development (SEED) Fund. nyc.gov/site/planning/…
Did you know that daylighting is mandated by NY State law, but NYC opts out? Tell your elected official you want safe streets and universal daylighting. 📢 📨action.openplans.org/support-univer…
@StreetsblogNYC @NYC_DOT Hope this is just out of context. I'm in a Carribean neighborhood for a decade, on @Bklyn_CB9 Transpo committee for 5+ years, & been asking for safer streets the entire time. We haven't had a new #bikenyc lane in district since 2009. Eager for @RitaJosephNYC to help change that.

Austin St is a unique piece of Queens and should be preserved! #FixAustinStreet presents the perfect opportunity to fix many of the issues on it such as drainage trees and garbage. Let's do it! @Lynn4NYC @QueensCB6 @QnsBPRichards @yating_liu @NYC_DOT
Austin St. is a place that has been losing its uniqueness over time. Small shops keep closing and are replaced with smoke shops, medical centers, and corporate stores. We can restore its sense of place! @ASaferAustinSt #FixAustinStreet youtu.be/AOc8ASeHYNw
These last few months, it’s been harder to find a functional electric Citi Bike. But Lyft is saying that things are getting better after some recent investments. Anyone else noticing?
Yesterday. Lunch. Look at these #deliveristas waiting to deliver your food fast & fresh. Imagine if they were all in cars? Imagine how much space that would use? Perhaps @NYC_DOT should take back a few parking spaces per block to create waiting areas. That’d be nice. @OpenPlans

@NYC_DOT @NYCMayorsOffice Please start planting some trees at these places, or cover some of it with grass. It's so grey and lifeless. At least trees would provide shade, and grass would soak up rain that cools the air during hotter days.
