Mamdani to swap parking spots for more than 6,500 curbside Empire Bins across NYC It’s a major expansion in the rollout of the “trash revolution” that former Mayor Eric Adams started.

Subway station 3d cutout maps are great for the more complex and interconnected stations.

Mamdani Is Falling Short of New York City’s Greenway Dream - Streetsblog New York City Advocates had hoped Mayor Mamdani would quickly adopt simple policies to improve how the city creates and maintains green infrastructure. He must get back on track, they say.

Don't be smart.

Why is the g train closed again.
Fix that !

In NYC, a pedestrian can be held responsible for a collision with a motorist on the sidewalk. The must change. #FreeErikDuran

No available seats are left.

My theory on why landlords do not severely discount vacant properties includes adverse reactions to spectacular rent increases when the discounts expire.

Cover it with
a) barf bag
b) peanut butter

c) ask for a screen-free view as an accommodation.

#nj_XSUP51 9 infractions. 3 recent speeding tickets. Then destruction on 34thAve.

Carnage this morning ~4am on 34th Ave westbound at 73rd Street: a delivery van hit concrete #sugarcubes, then knocked down a pole for traffic lights and street signs in #paseo Jackson Heights, Queens.

Root cause, need improved bike bell: road design with too many conflicts between different modes and routes; pedestrians lulled into complacency when walking adjacent to a quiet cycle path rather than a thundering truck route or active train tracks. And curse dreaded narrow #mup multi-use paths.

More about the #SkodaDuo bike bell designed for coping with pedestrians engulfed in headphones, earmuffs, earphones, earbuds, personal audio solutions, artificial silence, or loud music, riveting podcasts or engaging radio plays.

You go out at night, eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns, too
Mercuries and Subaru
And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars
Then, when there's no more cars
You go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet.
