Notice how he doesn't even mention parking, despite the containers being located along the curb. Other mayors would talk about the tradeoffs and say, "Look, we know New Yorkers like their parking." Not Mamdani. He keeps the focus where it belongs: on cleaner streets.

Now this is the kind of trash talk we can get behind. We’re containerizing neighborhoods by taking trash off our sidewalks and allowing mid-size buildings to trade in their wheelie bins for a bigger, better, cleaner alternative: Empire Bins. It’s time to put a lid on it, New York.

“'There is no magic compromise that preserves all parking on Hopkins and makes Hopkins safer for everyone,' advocate Marc Hedlund told the council. 'You have to choose the policy you believe is best for Berkeley — please choose safety for all.'” I'm glad they did.

Berkeley City Council votes to back Hopkins Street bike lanes

The council narrowly rejected a proposal to study changes that would encourage cyclists to ride on other North Berkeley streets.

On my ride home, I stopped at an intersection, and waited for a car to cross. I heard a weird noise, turned around, and smiled when I realized it was a barking dog in a car. The driver flipped me off when I looked again! I wasn’t even in the way!

A friend’s dad was hit by a driver while riding in the bike lane. He’s a local musical legend & rode his 1973 Schwinn around Santa Monica daily. He’s recovering from brain surgery and multiple fractures. Please share if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/help-stan-...

The modern world in America is built for the “convenience” of motor vehicles. But the truth that people don’t want to hear is this: Cars ruin cities. Riley is dead, because drivers have the world catered to their every need while pedestrians, bikers, and public transit riders get the crumbs.
