Great news for NYers. The best thing about this type of enforcement is that it actually changes behavior - so the number of tickets issued over time actually decreases. Once drivers realize the rules are not made to be broken, they just start following them.

In case you are someone with strong feelings about congestion, bike lanes, crowded sidewalks, bus lanes or NYC streets in general... ⤵️⤵️⤵️

Everyone is really loving these so how about more on #daylighting ?

Here's Lucia :D 飞 talking about how CB5 in Bronx passed a daylighting resolution asking for more in her neighborhood. We found a pretty nice example to talk about on Grand Concourse. Open Plans Streetsblog New York

Even drivers know - intersections without daylighting have blind spots that are dangerous and frustrating for everyone. Community boards are getting vocal about changing that.

Another one! Congratulations to Manhattan Community Board 3 for becoming the 14th district to pass a daylighting resolution. It's such a pleasure to help these communities understand the tools available to them to create safer, more pleasant streets for everyone!

A beautiful day to celebrate the start of public review for City of Yes & lifting arbitrary parking mandates! Today our local leaders have a chance to proudly support a more affordable, walkable, accessible, resilient NYC. People over parking with #CityOfYes !

We were honored to introduce a talk by Bruce Appleyard, and moderate a panel of NYC neighborhood #placemakers , hosted by Open Plans and Street Plans. #PlacemakingNYC #LivableStreets

Daylighting: the little bit of breathing room that makes a big difference when you're crossing the street.

“The focus was on intersections and why they are the most dangerous for car crashes and how this just benefits everybody.” Lucia :D 飞 👏

Off-hour deliveries are a really valuable tool for getting our curbs to work better. Glad to see DOT thinking strategically about reducing the congestion, pollution & frustration that high, peak-hour truck traffic creates on our city streets.

Daylighting is an important tool to make NYC streets safer. Hear Rachel Grosso who lives on UWS explain the benefits and how our 'friends across the river' in Hoboken have had 7 years of zero fatalities.

We need #UniversalDaylighting !

Where room to move is a hot commodity, the congestion in Hell’s Kitchen has led to significant air pollution and a dangerous environment for pedestrians. One neighborhood group (CHEKPEDS) is trying to make it safer, one sidewalk at a time. urbanomnibus.net/2024/04/eyes-o…

BREAKING: Sammy's Law will pass in the budget on Friday, Governor Kathy Hochul said. Kevin Duggan has the story, with h/t to Families For Safe Streets Open Plans Transportation Alternatives and NYC DOT nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/04/18/dea…

A Streetfilms (Now 1,100+ films!) dispatch (& understatement) riding NYC's crosstown bike lanes: 'This is not....the best.'

A lot of maintenance & enforcement issues here:

It's true. Parking mandates incentivize NYers to own cars & even force some neighborhoods to depend on them. If we lift them, we can still build parking where needed without requiring it arbitrarily - encouraging more classic NYC neighborhoods full of dense, walkable streets.

NYC Council Member Shekar Krishnan is one of a vast number of elected officials supporting ' #daylighting ' which is removing parked cars at intersections so that they are safer for all. Hear his impassioned words here. Open Plans Streetsblog New York

#UniversalDaylighting Now!

For decades, the name Appleyard has been synonymous with the research that powers the movement for urban quality of life. Join Street Plans & Open Plans on 4/24 from 6:30 to 8 PM as he shares insights from his book Livable Streets 2.0. RSVP at openplans.org/livablestreets

Very exciting to see a sneak peek of what NYC could look like in the future! A city where our zoning code actively encourages density & walkability & leaves arbitrary (& costly) parking requirements in the past.
