Miser

Between the Knicks, America's 250th birthday, and the World Cup it's time for real street pedestrianization plans

Adriano Espaillat is running for re-election in Congress. He just gave me a tour of the Second Ave subway construction.

If you're looking for community, move to Astoria. There's a place for you here. Bring a bike.

The most fought over bike lane in the world is here and it's a beauty... We win.

I went to the 31st st anti-bike lane rally so you don't have to and I get it now. It's not about bike lanes at all. It's just a hate movement that thinks they own the neighborhood.

Nina Schwalbe is running for Congress: "I Citibike and I subway. What we need is green space in this city, that is part of health and mental health."

Darializa Avila Chevalier is running for Congress as a DSA candidate to bring justice to an overlooked uptown district

Good and bad news on 31st St: Green is going down.... and the same losers have sued again to stop it

The bike bus to the Mets / Yankees game is peak urban form

Micah Lasher is running for Congress, and like all sensible people, wants as much median and green space on Park Ave as possible

Someone get the tissues and diapers ready for the suburbanites, they've restarted work on 31st Street! (the lane they sued to stop and Zohran has instead doubled the length of)

Brad Lander is a Congestion Pricing hero, and now is running for Congress "to get us funding for transit, greenways, and high speed rail"

As we approach $5 gas and skyrocket beyond it, let's remember this is likely the cheapest it will be for years. Car alternatives are no longer optional

Claire Valdez is running for Congress. We chatted about tearing down the BQE and FDR, and how NYC needs better bike lanes to the outer neighborhoods

Last night CB6 was asked to weigh in on the Park Ave redesign options, but many board members, including transportation Chair Jason Froimowitz, wanted to talk about the third option -- my design featuring closed blocks and fewer cars.

2 great NYC micromobility projects just started work -- the Lafayette 2 bike lane way conversion and Broadway's 36th St Pedestrianization!

NYC without cars before the 5 Boro Bike Tour is kind of amazing...

Gas Prices have spiked 30 cents this week alone. I'm once again asking Americans to get serious about car alternatives.

Chuck Park is running for Congress as a champion of micromobility and transit

The Return of the King -- the 31st Ave Open Street is back!

The people that fight bike lanes are just such weirdos. It's mean but it has to be said because it's a huge part of the story. Just absurd people. Like Parks and Rec on steroids. (A new annotated version)

It's so funny to hear drivers complain about the coming bike lane on 72nd St. We're supposed to take seriously the whining of the people making the problems? Come on.

Reynoso: I'm running for Congress to push them away from car-centric culture

People really don't understand how insane and stupid community feedback meetings are. Parks are Rec was nowhere near real life. Here are just some of the lowlights from last night's 31st St Community Board meeting over a simple bike lane.

Diana Moreno (Zohran's successor) reminds everyone the 31st St fight is not about "whether you like bikes." There is an objectively correct answer the city must follow. This is the perfect point I want to hear politicians make EVERYWHERE. (@dianaforqueens.com)

The people that think there is not enough parking in NYC are insane. Literally crazy people.

It's fun how the second there's a car crash drivers just decide that the rules don't apply anymore...

It's 88 degrees out today... do we really have to wait until August for Summer Streets?

DOT Commissioner Flynn asked if we can have Green Waves city wide. This is the dream

Just AOC casually riding a cargo bike and dodging cars parked in the bike lane while accurately calling the president a rapist and a pedophile.

This will be boring to those without kids, but I just don't understand how parents aren't more vocal about how anti-kid the streets outside schools are

Under this new Mamdani administration but DSNY seems to be a lot more aggressive about giving out parking tickets

Reminder: There is no point in trying to appease car obsessed people, they simply must be steamrolled

Something amazing is happening in Astoria, NYC. These suburban clowns tried to bully a whole neighborhood, and sued to stop a vital safety project. Zohran and our DOT just responded by DOUBLING the length of the project. Insanely hilarious.

Expensive gas is painful for a lot of people, but hopefully it will help some quit

Great news, one of the projects we've been asking for, a protected 2 way bike lane and busway on 72nd St, river to river is coming soon.

Europe is blocking giant American cars. Hell yeah.

In case anyone cares, the other great cherry blossom bike ride will likely peak this weekend, coinciding with great weather

People in my city would kill you if you even suggested this, ripping down a highway

There was just another horrible car crash on 33rd St, the latest in a long list. Astoria is demanding action, yet the city simply won't help us.

Hundreds of thousands biked through Central Park yesterday to see the cherry blossoms

$10 gas is coming this summer. It's time to build alternatives NOW

The gas crisis makes me really glad I live in NYC and not anywhere else in car dependent America. Hopefully everyone can learn from our example

$10 gas is coming. Cities need to prepare NOW to give people options

When $10 gas is on the table, every city should be building streets like NYC.

The return of warm weather soon also means the return of NYC's best thing -- Open Streets. @cmrestler.bsky.social

It's 70 degrees. Spring is here. Ride a bike.

No Kings day is also No Cars day

No Kings NYC

Just another reminder to get out there once more. NO KINGS today at 2pm.

Contrary to some lies, it's obviously easier for firetrucks and other emergency services if they don't have to fight cars every step of the way.

Zohran announces city will immediately upgrade the Brooklyn Bridge bike and pedestrian landings

Anyone that fights bike lanes is actively fighting again freedom for the disabled

URBAN POWER - A must watch for anyone who wants to understand current NYC politics

Never thought I'd say this, but I've grown to like flexposts, and the way the DOT has replaced them after all were destroyed by snow is actually pretty impressive
