Now THIS ! People will freeze in the winter so that AI companies can make more money. To Make Way for Data Centers, Google Will Pay residents to Use Less Power nytimes.com/2026/10/22/clima… via @NYTimes
We are going backward.
For two decades, the city has shown an unwillingness and inability to enforce regulations against pedicabs, which are part scam and part nuisance, with the drivers of these wide electric vehicles encroaching on the pedestrian paths. The selective interest when it comes to singling out the horse carriages for this special treatment when everyone else engages in blatant lawlessness is rather glaring.
Huge show of solidarity by clean air advocates at the council hearings of a law that would gut the idling program. It lasted until 4:45 pm ! Really uplifting. @NY_Clean_Air
Now 25 groups oppose Intro. 561-A's threat to our air quality. @SpeakerMenin needs to listen and PULL THE BILL.

Absolutely, positively awful-- no way.
This kind of advertising courtesy of Heli-D Aerial Media just feels wrong, seen in New York City, Oct. 13, 2026. A company tried this on boats on the Hudson River and East River a few years ago but were eventually banned from doing it #newyork #newyorkcity #nyc

Most road widenings happened with 0 public input. Trucks just showed up in the middle of the night and bulldozed sidewalks to add a few traffic lanes because traffic engineers said so.
Now, when we want those lanes converted back to sidewalks or bike lanes, it requires 15 public meetings, coordination between 5 different city agencies, and special one-on-one meetings with NIMBYs.
And it still might not happen because that NIMBY knows people in city hall.
Don’t you dare break what works. We depend on it to breathe.
Big thanks to @Chekpeds and @NYC_SafeStreets plus many others for supporting the Citizens Air Complaint Program. @NYCWater should take note--this program is really popular!

New addition to the Lime bike family: a 10 mph speed limiter when you enter parks/shared paths. It's that easy
Ideally, all car manufacturers should be required to install this. It would save thousands of lives, but the collective hissy fit/war on motorists would be unbearable
In case you were concerned about self driving cars, now they can be taken over by A.I. : model OpenClaw took over self-driving Tesla and redirected it to a grocery store to pick up magnesium pills. @GridlockSam @OpenPlans nytimes.com/2026/10/09/techn…?

This cyclist does not appear to be at fault. Again, it's past time for @CentralParkNYC and the City Council to acknowledge that the total chaos in an ever more crowded park where most people, including dog owners, just casually disregard rules is not tenable -- the horse carriages are a victim of this chaos, not the perpetrator. RIP.
