This is incredible reporting. Mapping one cop's driving like an epidemic is perfect
NEW: One of the most dangerous drivers in New York City is an NYPD cop on Staten Island. He’s gotten 547 school-zone speeding and red-light tickets in the past four years.

It means that streets (including sidewalks) are where the civic life of a city happens and they should reflect that. Should there be space for cars, of course... but there should also be lots of space for pedestrians, bikes and other forms of transportation.

These two short extensions would bring the subway to hundreds of thousands of South Brooklyn residents and would be built under (or over) wide avenues that feature (relatively) low concentrations of complex underground utilities.
Such an easy win. What's holding us back?

This is wild: NYC is as safe as some of the wealthiest suburban areas on the planet.

This is so nuts. And they’re doing it right in front of us.

Empty road = example of the ideal, convenient roadway
Full road = proof we need more roadway
Empty bus = evidence of people's dislike of transit
Full bus = example of why people dislike transit

Governor Hochul to Senator Krueger regarding congestion pricing fallout: THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT
Senator Krueger: Yes
Alex Engel retweeted
I’ve gotten more telephone calls, emails, texts & voicemails in support of congestion pricing than any other other issue - ever - during my decade in the NYS Senate (that even includes hatred from anti-vaxxers 😱)

The American people are not losing faith in our judicial system. Trump loyalists are attempting to sow seeds of doubt for a political end, just as they tried to undermine our election systems after the 2020 and 2022 elections. Nobody is above the law.
Given the political-motivation behind it, the outcome of this trial was never truly in doubt. In Arizona, the voters I talk to every day — Republican, Democrat and Independent — aren’t interested in these games. This is exactly why the American public is losing faith in our judicial system. People want a government that protects them, is accountable and is transparent. But that is not what we saw today.

I know it’s just a “pilot.” But glass panels and some stainless steel sheets aren’t that expensive and would have made a world of difference of difference in how New Yorkers view platform barriers.
Is there a prize, like maybe with a b-i-n-g-o or a scavenger hunt, if you find all 18,000 parking spaces? What a fun afternoon that would be!
DID YOU KNOW: There are over 18,000 parking spaces in Downtown Syracuse. Visiting Downtown is easy and accessible, making it a great place to visit! For more information like this, check out downtownsyracuse.com/researc….
