I'm convinced Astoria has the best representatives of anywhere in the country. No exaggeration. And we are going to fix not only Astoria's streets but all of NYC

This is long overdue. 👏🏾🤩

“The committee voted to approve the proposal 7 to 2, but DOT indicated it would go ahead regardless of how the full board votes on May 1. Implementation could start this summer.”
@nyc-dot.bsky.social W 72nd St Bike Lane Project connecting Hudson Path to Central Park Passed Manhattan CB 7 Transportation Committee. 🥳👏🏾🤩👍🏾
@nyc-dot.bsky.social can yall post your twitter updates to bluesky too?
What time? Where is it?
If you're in the NYC area: Zohran and his new DOT are going to bat for us, we need to be there to support the new plan for doubling the length of 31st St.

Very good news. And a five-year timeline is pretty fast by municipal standards.
Also:
"The city has roughly three million parking spaces, and full trash containerization is expected to take about 150,000 spaces, or 5 percent."
I hate it. I am not a fan of autonomous vehicles hogging up a bike lane. Autonomous vehicles are a way to give businesses further control over what we are allowed to do with our streets. We perhaps need blue lane for general small human operated micromobility < 20mph.
$10 gas is coming. Cities need to prepare NOW to give people options
@mayor.nyc.gov Gas is $4.00/gallon. We need the bike lane and the bus lane like ASAP. Many of us are getting destroyed by these prices. It seems DOT is waffling on tge Brooklyn Bridge connections we in the community need. Lafayette/4th Ave & Brooklyn Bridge are vital.
Today is Trans Day of Visibility. Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York. Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue. We're fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.
Here are some more pics.
Mayor Mamdani, NYC DOT Commissioner Flynn, and others stand at a podium with the Brooklyn Bridge in the background.
We’re building the Manhattan-side bike lane and pedestrian entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge in time for the World Cup.
New Yorkers deserve to enjoy the game on their feet, on their bikes, and with ease.
I am going to ride my bike to the TA Manhattan Activist Meeting tonight.
🥳🤩😁

perfect weather last night for a bike ride home
NYC DOT just moments ago presented a plan for more bike + pedestrian space on 9th Ave - a street I ride on daily - to Manhattan CB4.
A 9' wide bike lane provides space for passing - and DOT deserves credit for widening bike lanes in manhattan in the past few years.
We have a mountain of garbage on 35th street that people have to wade through when walking down the street. Ideally when people get off the train they wouldn’t be slammed with trash heaps taking over the sidewalk.
Trash Bins
@mayor.nyc.gov @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social Can we get these on 35th Street in Midtown Manhattan?

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.
The US and Israel are conducting a muslim genocide in the middle east. Its not going to stop if Iran falls. Its going to get worse. The GCC, China, India better get a clue and fast. 😵💫🤦🏾♂️😩
Looks Maxxing Switzerland!!!

@markcarneyforpm.bsky.social Thank you! 🙏🏾
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @nyc311.bsky.social I was walking home on 35th St in Manhattan. Look at what I saw. We desperately need trash containerization on Manhattan’s 35th street and probably Midtown more broadly. Look at this wall of garbage on 35th street. Its every night. 🤦🏾♂️
The cb 5 voted in favor of the 2021 Bus focused design twice.
Dont forget 5th Avenue redesign that Eric Adams stalled.
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @nyc-dot.bsky.social say they will in fact move QNS 31st street redesign forward while appealing the novel court ruling that was wildly outside of the boundaries of the law. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥳🥳🥳
