Faster buses are coming to Flatbush Avenue! The Mamdani administration announced today construction will resume at the end of the month to deliver protected, center-running bus lanes from Livingston Street to Grand Army Plaza. This will be a transformative upgrade for the corridor.
In case you missed the Daily News weighing in against legislating subway staffing:
"It doesn’t appear to us that legislative leaders have really set forward a good explanation for wanting to micromanage the subway, apart from .. the political power of the TWU"
This will reduce particulate emissions by the equivalent of taking 6,000 trucks per day off the road. There's a risk that things like this fly under the radar, but it's a huge win that was funded by congestion pricing. We need to expand and build on this! www.thecity.nyc/2026/04/01/c...
If you thought those platforms were packed already, just wait. But QueensLink tackles this directly. More trains = Less crowding.
Use the Link in Bio to Tell Mayor Mamdani and the City Council: NO WAY with QueensWay!

“The governor should finally reorient the state’s transportation policy around reducing vehicle miles traveled and giving all New Yorkers better, safer, more affordable options to get around and get ahead,” writes @ridersalliance.org's @betsyplum.bsky.social: citylimits.org/opinion-hoch...
Behind the preserved historical facades, the ultra-rich are buying up adjacent townhomes in the West Village and Upper East Side, combining them into a megamansion. It's part of a broader trend of small multifamily buildings being turned into single-family homes. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...
I am now off the clock, so I am officially, formally, incredibly thrilled that 'A Better Billion' is now in the world. And it's absolutely surreal to help with something that ends up with a feature in The New York Times. -- transitcosts.com/a-better-bil...
Is it still open for the bus?
Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty
Apples, oranges and bananas are sold in abundance in supermarkets throughout the country. But some say the most American fruit is one you’ll likely never see in the produce department, and it’s one you’ve probably never heard of. https://to.pbs.org/4o9epsl
Red light CRIMINAL summonses against cyclists.
Based on where enforcement happens, this is not just.
Graphic reading Zohran Voted Yes on Props 2,3,4, & 5! Vote by 9pm! Paid for by Yes on Affordable Housing disclosure.
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has already proven that nothing changes unless we change it.
Today, by joining Zohran and voting YES on Proposals 2 through 5, New Yorkers are wielding the power of our votes to change the course of our city’s future. @opennewyork.org
Zoning reform measures have divided tenant advocates in New York. Yet loosening the city’s anti-housing regime is essential if we ever want to build social housing at scale.
Walkable cities are good for both planet and human health! As this article from @berkie1.bsky.social explains, daily walks are associated with lower health risks. Building walkable neighborhoods is a public health measure that also reduces transport emissions! This is local level power! #cities 🚶

New TV + digital ad just dropped featuring La Luchadora, Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez.
"I need a partner who will take on Trump and fight alongside me. Zohran represents a bright future for our city."
New TV ad starts airing tonight.
We are done settling for less.
“As much as I love this city, there’s a myth about it that has persisted for too long. It’s the lie that life has to be hard in New York. It has to be an ordeal. That only the rich or the lucky get to live a good life here.
I don’t believe that for a minute.”
Good news, Brooklyn: Flatbush is getting bus lanes and pedestrian islands to speed up service!
These improvements can't come soon enough: "Buses move just 4 mph along the most congested stretch of Flatbush Avenue during peak periods."

We’re fixing Atlantic Avenue! This is what a comprehensive community-led rezoning looks like 🏠

We’ve got 30 days left to deliver a city we can afford — and the pathway to victory runs right through The Bronx.
A new design-build strategy, plus removing old signals fully, is credited for cutting costs in half. Take that, Sean Duffy.
This is an outrageous policy change. Also, if you’re gonna do this then you gotta do it for drivers, too right? Given those are obviously far far more dangerous vehicles.

Our Queensboro Bridge rally made the news! On Saturday, 150 New Yorkers marched over the south outer walkway.

Text reads: “$48.6 million. The amount New York's congestion pricing plan raised in tolls during its first month.”
New York’s congestion pricing program has seen a strong start, with revenue figures from the Manhattan tolling plan showing it is on track to raise billions for the region’s decaying mass transit system. Here's what to know. nyti.ms/4bj0gDI
