If you enjoyed β€œopen utility grate in 3d Ave. bike path for months,” you’ll love β€œopen manhole cover in the middle of Adams St. for weeks.” Help us out @NYC_DOT before someone falls in.

Court Street in Brooklyn has 23 percent fewer crashes since the bike lane went in, NYPD data show. See CrashCount.nyc

Nearing month 5 of this hazard. Is there going to be a City Charter amendment I can vote on this Election Day that will result in anyone in city government caring about fixing issues like this? Do I need to sign up for and learn how to use TikTok to get the mayor’s attn?

I love that people are advertising insurance fraud schemes out in the open yet @NewYorkStateAG @BrooklynDA can’t seem to figure out how to investigate or interrupt it.
Seeing a lot of out-of-state plates recently? This form of insurance fraud has soared under Gov. Hochul to more than $50 million per year, with out-of-state plate scams more than doubling, according to the state’s own figures. buff.ly/TYyIbEB

This is apparently just some good old fashioned β€œapolitical” campaigning to the β€œapolitical” reporters at the NYT.

Brother, they wouldn’t take it seriously then either.

Yes, Nicole. Imagine if someone advocated for the city to abolish a detrimental, tourist-trap industry with significant negative externalities and even occasional deaths. That’d be wild.

This remains an embarrassment.

I am largely unsympathetic to drivers in the city, but not putting up any signs or even a flagger to warn cars that they are driving into a dead end of streets blocked for road work and have only one way out (from the direction they came) is pretty inexcusable. Endless honking.

Love that this is just never going to be fixed and we as taxpayers are going to have to pay out the inevitable lawsuit damages when someone is injured by this hazard, which is well-known to the city. @StreetsblogNYC @dahvnyc

Oh my god this utility grate is BACK OPEN. What is going on? Can someone in city or state government please help with this? @NYC_DOT @nick_benson @vinbarone @madlabz @CMAlexaAviles @alexaforcouncil @agounardes @Sen_Gounardes Someone is going to get injured riding into this.

In the latest twist in the battle to lead Brooklyn Dems, reformers seeking to oust Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn just scored a win The appellate court reversed an earlier stay on a Supreme Court order, and threw out controversial rules pushed by Rodneyse to help her remain in power

Another great @NYCMayor infrastructure fix of low-hanging fruit. After years of failed, half-hearted attempts to fix the pooling issue on the Brooklyn Bridge bike lane, @NYC_DOT regraded the roadway and now it drains. Bon voyage Lakes Gutman, Ydanis, and Polly. cc @StreetsblogNYC
Very funny to me, and emblematic of the general deterioration of municipal capacity under Adams, that after 3 or 4 failed tries the city just gave up on ever fixing the Great Lakes of the Brooklyn Bridge bike lane (Lake Gutman, the Sea of Ydanis, and Trottenberg Pond).

Zohran should do the funniest thing ever and restrict press access/questions to just social media personalities
President Donald Trump will meet with Mayor Zohran Mamdani at Gracie Mansion tomorrow, City Hall confirms. Story incoming.

The terrible news about the teenager killed on 14th street reminded me about the motor scooter rider killed by City Hall/the entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge bike lane (one of the most surveilled spots in the city). Did we ever get surveillance footage of what happened there?

It’s a Labor Day weekend miracle! Shout out to the @ConEdison social team for escalating this until it was (eventually) fixed.

Man, it only took one night of being forced to bike across the Brooklyn Bridge pedestrian boardwalk while the bike lane gets paved to remind me how great of an improvement the dedicated bike lane is. Thanks again, @BilldeBlasio @Pollytrott.

and people wonder why the bus lanes in downtown Brooklyn show negligible speed improvements.
