Proposals on the back of your November ballot will protect bike and bus lane projects from frivolous lawsuits that have exploited the city's extensive bureaucratic requirements to impede safety redesigns across the city. buff.ly/3JkJw2B

OMG! 30-40 people rally on a beautiful day on the street the BRT bus project is....well...it is obvious it is a very small group of crankeroos!

Parking Craters: SCOURGE OF AMERICAN DOWNTOWNS!
12 years ago we made a Streetfilm on Parking Craters which helped popularize the term across the nation (because let's face it the USA is the KING of parking crater creation!) 50K plays back then!

Viven en la calle de la piruleta junto a la plaza de gominola, donde las mercancías llegan volando seguramente.
If they can do school streets along BOTH sides of The Oval - a 27,500 seat cricket stadium in Lambeth, London - well I think we should be able to put them just about everywhere in NYC!

The Mamdani Administration announced on Wednesday that New York City has expanded red light cameras from 150 to 600 intersections across the five boroughs.
This coverage is the stuff legends are made of...the network news could only dream of!
I've been following on the internets all day while working resting my weary leg on a pillow. Thank you @StreetsblogNYC crew a la mode!

A short feature on me from 16+ years ago at @VelocitySeries 2010 in Copenhagen!
A few months away from 60 years old I'm still doing things like this the last 30 years. I need to keep "The Hardest Working Man in Transportation Showbiz" title!

The fight over space is the important dynamic at play in cities and beyond right now—and @WinnHu and I are writing a whole book about it ☀️
So excited to talk about how less is more, and dig deep into the solutions out there to address the greatest urban challenge of our time.

I made this @Streetfilms many years back of Portland's ped-only, bike-only & transit-only Tilikum Crossing. It is still one of my fav car-free bridges in the whole world.
I think we need a similar crossing going from Greenpoint or Hunter's Point to Manhattan (I know @GridlockSam likes the idea). What does NYC think? It would be a huge hit!
