This is a total joke of a ruling and won’t stand, but NY local judges are just abysmal.

While the city told the public that construction was the hold up, @spencersoicher.bsky.social obtained internal city emails showing the issue was "high level" community concerns.

We're going to read more and more about regulating dangerous "e-bikes," which are actually electric motorcycles. Why not tell your concerns to the 40,000+ US families each year mourning their dead loved ones, whose lives were taken by the terribly lethal cars and trucks we've decided are essential.

We need congestion pricing for suburban and Pennsylvania drivers who exit the Turnpike Ext at Jersey Ave and use downtown Jersey City as a shortcut. This is an idea I heard from Mayor-elect Solomon at the BikeJC/Safestreets mayoral forum.

I mean - New York City should be seeing improvement not just "no change" - Congestion Pricing needs to increase, in order to stave off the increase of driving everywhere else. This is a good first step, but we need to be bolder if we want to see real improvement. London improved by 10% since 2024.
Congestion pricing is working.
It's providing money for needed transit upgrades.
It's lowering traffic, making bus rides faster.
And of course, its' making New York streets safer and more enjoyable for all.

A lot of very bad transit and transit-adjacent bills that usually die at the end of the session somehow escaped Albany this year, and that's something advocates should try to understand and fight against next year.
Gov Hochul should VETO the bill that carves out Co-op City from bus lane enforcement.
It slows buses and worsens pollution. The state Legislature should not be getting involved in local transit decisions.

NYLCV's suggestion to create a integrated multimodal fare between NYCT, NYC Ferry, and Citi Bike is a great one...but MTA's OMNY screw-ups will make that impossible, or at least very impractical for the first year.

Brooklyn man who championed bike parking pods says he was iced out of city contract
In 2022, city transportation officials contracted Oonee, a company founded by Shabazz Stuart (left), to install a secured bike parking container in the Meatpacking District as part of a pilot program.
Flatbush native Shabazz Stuart said the DOT told his company "to drop dead" by giving a contract to install 500 secured bike parking containers to a California-based competitor. [ more › ]
