Great PSA from an @MTA bus driver for anyone complaining about getting tickets for parking in the #buslane or #busstop.
Just don't do it. You're slowing everyone else down, and thankfully you're now going to pay for that monetarily.

I want to recognize the great work of @MTA conductor Theresa Footman, who demonstrated extraordinary professionalism, calm, and humor in last week’s power failure that required evacuation of 3,500 riders last Weds. Amazing poise in a very difficult situation.

Wow finally got to check “get trapped in the @NYCTSubway for 2.5 hours with no cell service, ventilation, and minimal information, then evacuate by emergency exit staircase” off my NYC bingo card.

Many of @NICE4Workers do street vending to support their families. @NICE4Workers stand with @VendorPower & #Corona Plaza Street Vendors Assoc (AVA). Street Vendors are hard-working immigrant workers and driving sources of #NYC local economy. Corona Street Vendors need to be back!
Corona Plaza wasn’t named one of the 100 best places to eat in NYC by the @nytimes by accident. It’s because of the hard-working, mainly immigrant street vendors who serve slices of the world there.
What happened there last week was disgusting — so we’re standing up. (1/3)

Why is @NYCMayor Adams administration shutting down this vibrant food hub and economic center for immigrant workers? This is the opposite of what “economic development” should be.

Highlighting this because it's important to get it right - stop blaming the victim, the e-bikes, the scooters. "What is killing users of 50 lb. machines going 25 mph are the 4,000 lb. machines that can go 100+ mph." electrek.co/2023/07/30/the-n…

DocGo’s treatment of the migrants in its care is horrifying. There should be a full accounting of their work and why they received such a massive no-bid contract without any relevant experience in shelter operations. nytimes.com/2023/07/30/nyreg…

“A new report adds to a growing line of research showing that police departments don’t solve serious or violent crimes with any regularity, and in fact, spend very little time on crime control, in contrast to popular narratives.” reuters.com/legal/government…

If you're a @NYCCouncil member and you get caught by reporters with a felony crime in your driveway, don't worry.
The @NYPDnews will help you out right away with some cosplay to rehabilitate your "law & order" image.

New: Queens Council Member @CMvpaladino has decried unregistered vehicles and fake license plates.
And yet: a luxury sports car with a fake, illegal temporary license plate was parked in her driveway last week. The car belongs to her son/spokesman. nyc.streetsblog.org/2023/07/…

Good news for economy class air travelers:
When boarding, if you see an empty seat in first class, you can now take it because, according to a Supreme Court justice, if it’s empty, it’s free.

It's 2023. Transportation is nearly a third of our state's emissions. Urban highways are widely recognized as a catastrophic mistake. There's a ton of federal infrastructure money.
And @NYSDOT has no vision, no plan, no interest in rethinking the BQE? nyc.streetsblog.org/2023/02/…

The MTA is revisiting the idea of adding cantilevered bike and pedestrian paths to the Verrazzano Bridge.
The last time this was proposed, they included a comically large and expensive ramp from the waterfront as the means to kill the project altogether.

City agencies continue to be gutted. We’re still getting a lot of messages from people leaving their agencies for the private sector, this is what happens when the city is stubborn and refuses to treat its workers better.

A 10 year old girl in LA wanted a unicorn license.
She wrote Animal Care, and they replied brilliantly. 🥰🥰

Principal Emmanuel Polanco and fellow NYC DOE administrators in politically-connected @ADASAOfficial are housing 11 bilingual teachers recruited from the DR in a Bronx duplex, demanding they pay $1,450 a month -- or else.

A 9yo Black child clearly into science identified a problem harming her neighborhood, researched, found a safe solution, and was testing it. Her white neighbor (who knew her!) called police on her saying a “small Black woman wearing a hoodie” was doing things and scaring him.
