Holy shit, they're actually considering this. This provision would mean a federal ban on bike lanes on most Manhattan avenues and a ton of other NYC local streets. Write your Congressperson, this can't be allowed www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/nat...

ACTION ALERT 🚨 Right now, the Senate is considering adding language to the transportation reauthorization bill to restrict bike lanes. Tell Congress: funding for bike safety projects MUST continue! Take action: action.bikeleague.org/page/101946/...

I get annoyed at people who think they are too good for public transportation or look their nose down at cyclists. Many NY Natives are like this as well. They behave more like transplants than actual NY Natives. I guess you could call them Native Transplants. 🤔

With extreme heat, rail temperatures can soar above 135°F, which may cause bends in the rail due to thermal expansion. This year, we’re adding something new: applying reflective white paint to vulnerable segments, which lowers temps, enhancing track lifespan, safety, and reliability! 💪

This is what I mean when I say Canada is trash. People think I'm being harsh. I'm not. I'm calling it like it is. This is trashy behavior. Electing Doug Ford is trashy behavior especially after the first one was so trashy. 🗑️🤦🏾‍♂️

Another episode in the "Why is Doug Ford trying to kill us?" WHO says "every 1% increase in mean speed produces a 4% increase in the fatal crash risk and a 3% increase in the serious crash risk.” lloydalter.substack.com/p/why-is-dou...

Very good news for Bronx bus riders that Espaillat has been defeated. Darializa Avila Chevalier is bound to be a heck of a lot better on supporting improved transit service for her constituents.

While he’s said nothing about the issue publicly, the congressman has been quietly assembling opposition to proposed bus lane upgrades in recent weeks, four officials told Streetsblog.

I get why some drivers get so insane about bike lanes, because once people SEE how much better it is absolutely nobody wants to go back to their car infested bullshit

“After analyzing crash data over a 13-year period in areas with separated bike lanes on city streets, researchers estimated that having a protected bike facility in a city would result in 44% fewer deaths and 50% fewer serous injuries than an average city.” Safer for ALL. Via @usa.streetsblog.org
