StreetsPAC's @kencoughlin.bsky.social and our endorsee in Manhattan's 69th Assembly District primary @elinorthrup.bsky.social doing poll site visibility today with a passerby.

Viewing panels legally must be between 3 & 6 feet from the ground...but I've never seen one lower than 5 feet. If @nycbuildings.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov incentivized some at the lower height, NYC kids would be delighted! Let's design the public realm with kids in mind. nyc.gov/site/buildin...

Everyone dies. That’s worth singing about. I’m helping my friend produce a one-night-only live concert performance of his musical about hospice. Wherever you may be on your grief journey, this show has something for you. www.thebanner.com/culture/thea...

We've co-endorsed Lindsey Boylan & Carl Wilson, and urge you to give them your top ballot ranks. Learn more about Lindsey & Carl, and find voting info, here: www.streetspac.org/special_elec...

Crazy to me that the #bikenyc lane on Empire ends at Bedford, even though Prospect Park is literally in sight there. Brooklyn CB9 already voted to extend/upgrade Empire, so @nyc-dot.bsky.social, how about fixing the gap!? act.transalt.org/a/connected-...

Couldn't agree more on this point of street safety. @rahmemanuel.bsky.social, welcome to @thewaroncars.bsky.social. youtu.be/qtqwiC12WZw?...

Tech/ civic friends - anyone know why @nyc311.bsky.social reporting system for potholes changed in recent years? used to take 4 clicks & 20 seconds in app, now directs to a clunky website & takes many clicks & too many minutes. Why’d it change? @beta.nyc @nyc-dot.bsky.social

Proud to have spent the day in Albany advocating w/ @transalt.org @streetspac.org to rein in Super Speeders on our streets. And delighted to have seen a Vision Zero ally as soon as I entered the building.

Elections may not be on everyone’s brains right now but if you live in the 36th or 74th Assembly districts of NYC, you’ve got a chance to elect two great leaders to office. Safe streets ahead with @keithpowersnyc.bsky.social @dianaforqueens.com in office!

Happy new book day & huge congrats to the @thewaroncars.bsky.social crew. I’m very excited to read this book & am already touched by the dedication page. I’m taking it as a collective ‘our.’ Things have to change in a big way for the next generation to even have a chance.

Considering the consistent bottleneck of crowds exiting the D-N-R at Barclays, has there ever been thought to make a 2nd entrance at the platform's southern end at Bergen St? Wouldn't it help immensely? @2avesag.as @mta.info @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social @ridersalliance.org @brooklynspoke.bsky.social

Kathy Hochul @governor.ny.gov has signed the five-year extension of NYC’s life-saving speed-camera program into law. Huge thanks to @agounardes.bsky.social and @deborahjglick.bsky.social for their leadership. www.nysenate.gov/legislation/...
