He casually went about his day to do more deliveries afterward.

🤷🏻♀️ hey, why not.
I cannot be bothered to give a single fuck about a car meetup and guys doing donuts in Middle Village.
They will get punished more than the driver that killed this woman.
My heart just breaks for the little girl who, not minutes after her beautiful mama dropped her off to school, had to get taken out of class to hear her mom is dead.
The truck driver is not being charged. Just another “oops”.
This poor family. Devastating.
They’re turning it into a “wild third world minorities” targeting a sleepy, white, middle class neighborhood.
When that sleepy neighborhood has infrastructure like that, you can’t be shocked it gets used pretty much how it’s intended.
City council member sees a gas station, a parking lot, and a vast, wide, flat, obstructionless intersection and think, “how could anyone do donuts here????”
DOT, not the police, could solve car burnouts in a heartbeat.
“This is a big intersection; somebody can get killed”. Yes. It IS a big intersection— which is why traffic calming, pedestrian-friendly physical infrastructure would stop these car meetups before they start. Bollards, bulb-outs, raised crosswalks, etc. Get them installed.
Another killing on NYC streets with an all-too-common pattern: box truck, left turn, pedestrian in the crosswalk.
A beautiful, hopeful spring day turns into a family’s unimaginable loss and pain.
Yes. And traffic violence disproportionately affects POC and working class folks, who take transit further and more often, who depend on it, who walk more, and who have fewer resources than people who drive.
I enjoyed that anecdote, but drivers are way too psychopathic here. They literally murder people who so much as touch their cars.
Broken Windows parking. One asshole decides to park illegally in a way that endangers cyclists and drivers alike, so another guy decides to follow. The truck has a placard of course.
Literally what I said in my post
They can advocate for more space then.
No one said car infrastructure is not the problem.
It is unsafe for them to be throwing elbows in front of a moving bicycle.
Joggers- get your asses out of the bike lanes! You want more space on the sidewalk? Show up to a CB meeting. Start a petition to widen sidewalks. But stay out of the lanes!!
I’ve received about 20 NYC Schools survey reminder emails… chill!
Visited the flowers I planted last fall!!

There are a half-dozen migrant shelters just on one block. A couple of them didn’t even bother to open as commercial hotels. One might surmise that they were built for the express purpose of becoming a shelter.
My neighborhood has the highest concentration of migrant shelters in the whole city because years ago someone decided it should be a “hotel zone”. None of the hotel operators want to compete as a business; the nonprofit $$$ is way more lucrative and steadier.
Ocean Avenue. Unsurprising that more traffic violence has occurred on this deadly stretch. How awful.
The mundane, everyday errands people were walking around doing right before a driver kills them are so relatable to New Yorkers. Any moment could be your last, thanks to a culture of reckless driving where pedestrians are obstacles hindering drivers’ ability to speed.
This shelter could house only Chinese dudes for all they care. Doesn’t matter.
You have to look at Chinese Americans’ homeless shelter protests through class, not race. Out of all the Asian groups in NYC, Chinese have highest % of home ownership, even with lower incomes overall and less professional careers. They’re simply protecting their investments.
We’re on a road to nowhere
Hope so.
Awful. Just awful. You’re going about your day and some schmuck straight up murders you
Broken screen and a bike lane. Shows a street with glass on it
Someone smashed the NYC wayfinding screen on Crescent Street in Dutch Kills. Why??
