Leadership

Another terrifying video of a crash on McGuinness Blvd. It’s been more than 10 weeks since Mayor Eric Adams promised NYC DOT would be back to finish the road diet all the way to Meeker Ave.

Nothing has been done. 10,000 New Yorkers are fed up. Greenpoint is fed up.

Safe streets now

Attend tonight's G Train shutdown townhall at 7 pm in person or online and call on MTA and NYC DOT to create a real plan to address the shutdown starting in June. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Proud to join Council Member Chi Ossé, Phara Souffrant Forrest and Shaquana for Brooklyn in calling on the administration to develop this crucial protected bike lane on Bedford Avenue. Our communities have demanded it. Now it's time for the administration to deliver.

42nd Street is leaving New Yorkers behind.

Slow buses, narrow sidewalks, and zero space to bike make it impossible to get around.

42nd Street must prioritize pedestrians, bus riders, and bike riders.

Join our campaign for a Miracle on 42nd Street.

My Comprehensive Plan for Brooklyn called on NYC Parks to survey the accessibility of our park entrances.

Yesterday, by my request, Council Member Shahana Hanif, Council Member Shekar Krishnan, and Council Member Linda Lee introduced a bill to do that and more.

And yes, of course Intro. 870 calls for a map 🗺️

Last 3 city admins respond:

“Hey City Hall, Latin America kicks NYC’s ass re innovations for moving buses”

Bloomberg: Not OK, let’s start Select Bus

de Blasio: 14th St busway (still, not too interested in lessons from elsewhere)

Adams: New York is the Bogota of America

This project will fill in a 0.6 mi gap in the 7th Ave #bikeNYC lane, creating a continuous path from Central Park South to Houston Street, and bringing us one step closer to completing the Manhattan bike grid.

We’re horrified to learn that a private sanitation truck driver killed a pedestrian this morning in Greenwich Village.

New Yorkers have been waiting for commercial waste reform for years — the delays are killing us. We need a citywide rollout now.

The street safety McGuinness Blvd redesign had popular support from community members and businesses, until a sudden shift by the administration.

If there was a change that could’ve helped prevent the death of teacher Matt Jensen, we must make that change now. #MakeMcGuinessSafe

Neighbors who are taking care of the new daylighting planters on 9th St fr 5th to 8th Av met up for the 1st time today to clean up, discuss a watering plan, and talk about the planter-related issues at each intersection. Loved that NYC DOT Julie Bero (she/her) saw us + stopped to chat/listen

It's a fact that Open Streets help businesses. I hate to see any business struggling, and wish Mitchell's would accept the help offered by Vanderbilt Avenue organizers instead of fighting to end the program.

Also noting its been over 6 months since Vanderbilt has run on a Sunday.

Cozine Ave and Wortman Ave in Brooklyn have seen a 55% decrease in car collisions since we installed protected bike lanes leading to Shirley Chisholm State Park.

Thanks to those who joined Saturday for a #BikeMonth group ride! Try the route: bit.ly/3Urp44l
