When it rains, it pours! Improvements are underway for the refurbished section of the 2nd Avenue protected #bikeNYC lane south of 57th Street. @NYC_DOT is adding concrete-protected pedestrian islands at several locations. 📸 of ongoing work at 51st and 49th Streets. 🤩 – at Midtown East, Manhattan

.@NYCMayor, no more excuses. Your administration, once again, broke its promise to open the South Outer Walkway of the Queensboro Bridge. Another day delayed is another day someone could get hurt. #MoreSpaceQBB, now.

It’s now been a month and a half that cyclists have been at risk on Central Park West because the @NYC_DOT is unable to implement a viable temporary solution while resurfacing protected #bikeNYC lanes, and the @NYPDnews continues to cater to drivers. 😡 – at Upper West Side, Manhattan
One week & dozens of @nyc311 reports for blocked #bikeNYC lanes later, the @NYPD20Pct and @NYPDCentralPark are still acting as if it’s beyond human comprehension to figure out what the word 'BIKE LANE' affixed to the roadway by @NYC_DOT could possibly mean. 🤦‍♂️

Replying to @bikenewyork
The most depressing sight on my regular commute is watching the flexposts at Queensboro Plaza get mowed down as soon as they’re replaced by @NYC_DOT, with the red barrels used in the interim being crushed one after another. It's been the same frustrating cycle for years. 😔 – at Midtown East, Manhattan

Park Ave used to have an actually park running down the middle. Then in the 1920s the median was shrunk to make more room for cars. And now great news: a new plan will restore the median, more than doubling its width, adding walkways, benches & landscaping, from 46th to 57th St.

Fire trucks dictating street design instead of streets dictating fire truck design.
What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore?

Want to know what happens when a street is turned over to people? Check out the new plaza on W 33rd St.

Am I again unclear on a rule about penalties? Kane had already completed his shot, so perhaps there's a foul after the fact, but how can it be a penalty? No dog in this fight for me, but it seems quite odd.

Voor Nederlanders die buiten Nederland wonen is dit alles extra beroerd. Zij zijn afhankelijk van consulaire hulp voor paspoorten, terwijl de wachtlijsten al ellendig lang zíjn. Zonder geldig paspoort kan je bankrekening geblokkeerd worden, of word je uitgezet. Zo’n 600.000 Nederlanders wonen buiten NL in de EU.. @NLersBuitenNL

The meltdowns will continue from people who can't stand the thought of paying to use something valuable.
Congestion pricing will reduce traffic, improve air quality, and raise critical funding for our subways and buses. Today we announced 37 new projects and highlighted recently completed work to make it easier to get around our city car-free. Details: bit.ly/3JIreHJ

The rhetoric over congestion pricing is growing increasingly more hilariously unhinged as the start date gets closer.

40 diners takes the space of 3 parked cars and I’m supposed to believe removing this is better for the local economy?

hi @MTA why is your contractor allowed to deface his license plate? And why would he have a PA plate? (He was also illegally idling for over 3 minutes and has been reported, fyi)

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-reject…

👋 @NYC_DOT, same location, same problem today 😡. Crew claims they are not allowed to close one of the three traffic lanes to provide the required safe detour for 🚴‍♂️. I've already submitted a @nyc311 today (as I did yesterday). Please address the issue with the permittee asap❗️ – at Midtown East, Manhattan
👋 @NYC_DOT, here is another of your permittees happily disregarding your BIKE01 requirements. 🤦‍♂️ 1st Ave #bikeNYC lane closed at 44th street without the required safe detour being provided to 🚴‍♂️. 😡 Permit# M02-2024008-D34
