Mamdani's DOT Responds to Astoria Bike Lane Backlash... With an Even Longer Bike Lane - Streetsblog New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's latest proposal for 31st Street extends a proposed bike lane to cover the entire spine of Astoria.

NEW: After an anti-bike lane lawsuit sent the Department of Transportation back to the drawing board on 31st Street in Astoria, the agency is responding… with a plan for an even longer bike lane on the deadly corridor.

Nicely done. Do you know where the announced plan of the significantly expanded project limits are? Great news.

Haven’t seen the a 160 on the G in quite some time.

Lightning and Thunder Snow. How bout it.

This is a *really cool* proposal for Broadway from the Flatiron to Herald Square. Not only would it formalize the two-way bike lane and greatly widen the sidewalks, it would leave room for Paris-style outdoor dining up against the buildings!

WaPo's Matt Murray told staff the paper is shuttering sports, moving remaining staff to features, shrinking foreign coverage, restructuring metro, closing books coverage, suspending Post Reports podcast

This is tremendous. Take the time to watch it.

Also stan the marathon plus.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

The group bike ride for Alex Pretti is about to depart in Minneapolis, stopping at his memorial, then Renee Good’s, and finishing at the VFW. If you can join, hop on anywhere. It’s a warm 17° & sunny!

I’ve never seen this many cyclists for a group ride. ⚡️✊🏽⚡️🚲⚡️✊🏽⚡️ #RIPPretti

This is one of those special Saturdays ahead of a snow storm where there are barely service changes, and most of them include express service going local.

Reliability & frequency going from F/G to D/N/R to 2/3/4/5 to Bk Museum and back right now was truly splendid.

Mexico?

Videos Show How ICE Vehicle Stops Can Escalate to Shootings A WSJ visual investigation found that the Minneapolis ICE killing is one of 13 incidents where federal immigration agents have used deadly force against civilians in vehicles since July.

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:

* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon

The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire

Nice. Thought it looked familiar! Such gems down there in weird private subway entrances.

This from the building the Alamo drafthouse is in downtown?

Anyone have a link to the open house presentation boards from the latest open houses in Sunset Park and Middle Village?

Looks like the 3rd Avenue #BikeNYC lane and southern spur super sidewalk will be here soon…

lets go!

Metros cmon baby let’s go!

Nice.

the correct answer is ‘the Metro-North Railroad and Long Island Rail Road’. there can be no plural for their turf differences.

Looks like a Baltimore Oriole was in our yard in Windsor Terrace, BK. A beauty!

The convergence of Mets and Liberty fans at Jamaica on departing westbound trains just now was pretty special.

Why does every slide in here show PPSW as having a protected #bikenyc lane? There isn’t even a presented plan in the books I’m aware of. @nyc-dot.bsky.social @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social
