Curtis Sliwa’s campaign littered the entire length of the Grand Concourse median planters with campaign signs. This is illegal and now @NYCSanitation workers have to clean up after them.

Interrupting the horrid CP news cycle to share that #WashingtonBridge4People is effectively rideable. We’ll call it a soft open. 😉 Come check it out the next time you’re uptown!

I know I can count on @NYSenatorRivera to bravely vote NO to any rushed half-measure, hoping my AM @Dais77NY does the same.

@AndreaSCousins your mailbox is full, but please do not give in to hastily drawn up half-measures! Vote no and urge Congestion Pricing to proceed!

. @Dais77NY I hope you will vote no on attempts to raid NY's emergency fund in order to delay implementation of congestion pricing!

If I am killed by a driver, and they say I "lost control" first before getting run over, know that is a straight up LIE. RIP Zenaido 🙏 #WashingtonBridge4People #BikeNYC gofundme.com/f/help-zenaidos…

#BikeNYC📣: NYPD are ticketing cyclists for not stopping for red light WITHIN Prospect Park. Be on the lookout! I hear the cyclist/pedestrian crash that likely triggered this ticketing blitz did not even happen at a light. Yes, they are ticketing even during rain & empty park.

All cyclists, pedestrians, dog walkers, and any other park user (esp. those going faster) should exercise caution and yield to each other. But targeting cyclists for not stopping at obsolete red lights historically meant for cars is asinine. No one is safer as a result.

Great new @TheWarOnCars episode featuring my friend, @AnnaZivarts! Can’t wait to pick up your book! thewaroncars.org/2024/05/07/…

#Daylighting allows all road users to clearly see one another when approaching an intersection - where traffic crashes most often occur. Curb bump outs shorten crosswalks & provide space for public amenities like planters, bike racks & bikeshare docks. More like this please! ☀️🌱
Everyone is really loving these so how about more on #daylighting? 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

Today @Streetfilms w/@LuciaDLite in the Bronx talking CB5’s near unanimous vote to ask @NYC_DOT for more #daylighting! We found a swell example along Grand Concourse to chat about! Gonna try to crank this out before I leave for Stockholm tomorrow! @OpenPlans @StreetsblogNYC

👏👏👏 So proud of my district Bronx CB5 in the West Bronx! 🥰 My fellow community board members are some of the most empathetic and selfless leaders around!

Daylighting is an important tool to make NYC streets safer. Hear Rachel Grosso who lives on UWS explain the benefits and how our "friends across the river" in Hoboken have had 7 years of zero fatalities. We need #UniversalDaylighting! @OpenPlans @StreetsblogNYC @chabot_jackson

Tonight the Bronx Community Board 5 full board voted (near unanimously) in favor of a resolution to support safety by daylighting intersections in our district! We may be the FIRST district in the Bronx to pass a daylighting resolution. Hoping many more Bronx CBs follow suit!

Our community members immediately related to and understood the importance of the issue and the intent of this measure. Was there some discussion of parking loss? Sure. But folks pretty clearly demonstrated where they stood on our community's priorities.

What is daylighting? Here's a little explainer slide. It's been done well at several intersections along the newly reconstructed Grand Concourse.
