Flaco deserved a city that doesn’t poison its own wildlife. Today, I was honored to stand with @LightsOutNYS as I introduced legislation that would pilot a humane alternative to rodenticides: rat contraceptives. It’s more effective and far safer for birds of prey.

I have a new piece today explaining how NYS can make steps to address the child care crisis by passing a budget that includes a cost estimation model and a permanent workforce compensation fund, included in the @NYSA_Majority & @NYSenate budget proposals. centernyc.org/urban-matters-…

(1) This is genuinely awesome and amazing (2) There is NOTHING funnier to me than NYC learning about the technology of garbage trucks picking up garbage bins for the first time and people in other places wondering if this is a bit
Here’s a demo of New York City’s new automatic side loading garbage truck lifting large on street containers. A pilot program is expanding to all of Community Board District 9 in West Harlem.

Thank you to my neighbors for giving testimony at CB( public forum last week! It's true, we LOVE this pilot. @CMShaunAbreu @NYCSanitation
Have you heard about the new trash containerization pilot in Hamilton Heights? These residents have, AND THEY LOVE IT. Listen to their words below, and learn more at nyc.gov/HamiltonHeightsBins.

Really enjoyed attending this talk earlier this week! We need to be doing more for the future, which requires change!
Great to listen this morning to @peter_laugharn, @RBoyntonJarrett, @AAPDelMonte, @KateWGallego, @JenSiebelNewsom, and Nsedu Witherspoon discuss how climate change disproportionately impacts children – and what we can all do to build a better world for our young people. I hope to see some of the initiatives discussed in my kids’ schools!

Cities around the world have integrated effective trash containerization systems into their streetscape, and it's time NYC joined them. The @NYCSanitation pilot underway in Upper Manhattan is how we get there.

It’s trash day on my block, but what do you NOT see on the sidewalks??? No trash! That’s because the trash is in the new containers installed on the street. @ShaunAbreu @CMShaunAbreu @NYCSanitation @NYCMayor @NYCMayorsOffice #ratmitigation #byebyeratties #cleansidewalks – at Bronx, NY

We are transforming how we deliver city services with drones! Looking forward to testing how this technology will enhance ✅building inspections ✅capital projects ✅bridge and dam inspections
New York City is flying into the future, using drones to make city services faster and safer. Their true potential is just taking off. We're pacing the way for drones to help in New Yorkers’ everyday lives — not just in emergency situations. Read more: nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/…
