I remember campaigning for @ReynosoBrooklyn during his first campaign for city council when we ousted a sexual predator named Vito Lopez from the city council. Antonio stands for good government and he knows the communities he wants to represent. Go vote.

Now more than ever, Streetsblog readers will want to be aware of the endorsements put forward by StreetsPAC, the livable streets movement’s lone dedicated political action committee. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/06/…

Equity in infrastructure is not a construction event. Crosswalks fade. Signals go dark. Posts get hit. In communities with political power, repairs happen fast. In others, decay becomes normal.

With more than 1,800 public schools and over a million school kids, New York City could become a bonafide leader in the American bike bus movement — if the program were structured and scaled. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/05/…

How are we celebrating Bike & Roll to School Day?
With a new bike boulevard on Bergen & Dean Streets.
Bike boulevards are low-traffic streets designed to make walking and biking safer and more comfortable for students and families while maintaining local vehicle traffic.
ALT A group of adults and children wearing helmets and bright reflective vests ride bicycles together down a city street during a community bike ride. Several young riders lead the group while adults follow behind, smiling and biking alongside them.

As the New York state budget deadline grows near, there are growing calls to pass a bill targeting super speeders. It would require devices be installed in the vehicles of repeat speeding offenders. @JennBisramTV reports.

Appreciate @MBPBHS Hoylman-Sigal, Maj Ldr/Transp Chair @CMShaunAbreu, @CMRestler, @TransAlt, @NYC_SafeStreets, @StreetsPAC & everyone else organizing to ensure Governor, Senate & Assembly are on the same page & the common-sense Stop Super Speeders Bill is in the finalized budget.

"The worst super speeder in New York City likes to drive around Sheepshead Bay and Gravesend, and received 259 tickets in the five boroughs and paid over $60,000 in fines"

Incredibly proud to be able to continue @TransAlt’s long legacy of advocating for car-free parks alongside @NY4P and @KathyParkPrice!
What’s become a peaceful normal in Prospect Park and Central Park should be the baseline expectation for every New Yorker in every park in NYC.
Inspired by the families who are fighting for car-free Freedom Drive in Queens and car-free Silver Lake Park Road on Staten Island, today @NY4P and @TransAlt launched a campaign urging @NYCMayor to eliminate cars from parks across NYC.

I really think at the very least @CitiBikeNYC should consider a 2-week free extension to anyone with a membership. @OpenPlans @StreetsblogNYC #bikenyc

TABK members were out yesterday trimming trees along the Bedford Ave protected bike lane! Citizen Pruners can legally help keep our trees in good shape :) The people care about this bike lane!!

Fun fact: The Old City Hall Station where Zohran Mamdani will swear his oath as Mayor of New York City closed on December 31, 1945, exactly 80 years ago tonight. The mayor then was none other than Fiorello La Guardia.
The symbolism of this moment is surreal.

Imagine showing this image to someone in 2024. May we continue to defy expectations, create change and seek a more just world in 2026.

Always a blast to have Saturday coffee with my constituent, Paco. Excited for what is ahead in District 40 when it comes to street safety. 🚲
Always a joy to see my Councilmember @RitaJosephNYC, and especially joyful on days like today when we get to chat about the possibilities of expanding bike buses in @NYCSchools. Cc @BergenBikeBus @PS770

Rarely do we see one another for who we all are as when we're riding public transit
The new political map of NYC shows some stark divides: Very wealthy, very white and very Hasidic parts of the city went for Cuomo. Young, Black and Hispanic voters went for Mamdani. But the biggest divide?
Transit vs. cars.

It is actually wild (and beautiful) how NYC is so uniquely centered around public transit.

Super stoked to randomly run into my 2 FAVES today: Zohran and Brad Dad! 😍😍
I couldn't be more proud to vote for this incredible duo! What an exciting time to be a New Yorker!
