Just an insane shot of #daylighting I took last month while exploring Kingston, NY w/@PSteely . They really got great stuff going on between riding trails, #bikenyc lanes, art & traffic calming going on.
A future Streetfilm!

Unreal. The hired gun who fought the PPW bike lane 10 years ago is now spoiling to stop congestion pricing. nytimes.com/2023…

Thank you @NYstateparks Commissioner @ErikKulleseid for inspiring our advocates this morning as we set off to share stories with our legislators about the many benefits that #ParksProvide. We're ready for a great #NYPAD2023 🌳 @OpenSpaceInst
These are just a few of the _highly persuasive_ advocates in Albany today fighting for your local parks and trails. (Note the #nypad2023 flair)
Now is the time to continue last year's level of critical investment in our iconic state park system. Thank you @McMahonforNYS for being a champion and supporting $250M in capital funding for @NYstateparks 💯
Happy and humbled to become the new executive director at @PTNY. My focus is to bring more park, more nature to more people throughout New York State.
Welcome to our new executive director, Paul Steely White!

Hats off to @RidersAlliance for spearheading today's pro-#congestionpricing rally in Washington Heights. My first time hearing/seeing @ZohranKMamdani (NYS Assembly District 36, NW Queens) & @ShawnGarcia_NYC (@TransAlt Bronx/uptown organizer) in action, and OMG.

The bill to create the citywide greenway plan passed the NYC Council today!
So much thanks to @CMCarlinaRivera, @CMBrooksPowers, @CMMercedesCD46, and the full Council, and everyone in the #greenways4NYC Coalition for leading the way!

This is Flatbush Ave this Sunday. The business are open, the parking meters are off. The five cars parked get to stay all day and the shoppers and deliveries are circling or double parking, blocking the B41 bus. Sunday parking meters would be so much better! @RitaJosephNYC – at Brooklyn, NY

Compact, transit-oriented urban planning could save the world $5 trillion USD annually by reducing the need for vehicles, fuel, and parking - enough to build 30,000 new hospitals every year #UrbanOctober #SDG11

The Columbus Ave. center-running bus lane in @CityOfBoston is an exciting example of how transit priority can ease congestion, reduce air pollution, and move people faster & more reliably!
People-oriented streets move cities toward their climate and equity goals #UrbanOctober

Some thoughts on why NYC oughta advance e-bike incentives (#equitablecommute) and secure parking (@ooneepod) not bans 🚲
"The need to protect NYCHA residents from potential harm is imperative, but a total ban would threaten the livelihoods of tens of thousands of people."
Today's #CityViews oped on the proposed public housing e-bike ban, by @WeinbergerUrban & @melindahanson bit.ly/3SVS2qG

Pedestrian traffic fatalities are on the rise in NYS, with almost 1000 people killed annually in PREVENTABLE traffic crashes❌❌
Advancing #completestreets would save lives by expanding sidewalks, bike lanes, curb ramps, crosswalks & other people-oriented elements 👏
@TransAlt
Here is our group of families (many of them having lost loved ones to traffic crashes) at the press conference this morning prior to the Complete Streets hearing.
We're not going to go away silently when we can prevent other devastating crashes #SafeStreetsNOWNY✊🏽

.@MTA Chair Janno Lieber could not be more right.
We need congestion pricing because gridlock is destroying our city and polluting our environment.
If you don’t believe that I have a bridge to sell you.
