Big thanks to Vince, and the rest of the Oonee Ops team for leaving their families during the holiday season and working all weekend to clear the snow from the region's secure parking stations. This is important, often thankless work keeps cyclists and pedestrians safe.

Always insane to remember that cities like NYC/Philly/Boston could improve transit practically overnight by implementing citywide BRT, and just don't.

NYC on track for near-record low number of homicides in 2025
The number of homicides is in the same ballpark as 2018 and 2017, when the city recorded fewer than 300 killings.

That -11% YoY traffic reduction is actually a bit more impressive than it seems bc traffic was actually getting 3-5% *worse* each year prior.
The true reduction is closer to 14%-16% compared to where we would be without the tolls today.

I love football, but I resent the notion that it’s the government’s job to “keep” billionaire football teams with billions of dollars in subsidies.
Unfortunate to see Democrats making this argument. There are far better ways to spend public dollars.

RFK Jr. is expected to announce in the new year that American children should be immunized according to the schedule followed by Denmark — which is much smaller, mostly homogenous and has universal health care.

Requiring two people on each 🚇 train would have eliminated any possibility for OPTO or automation and would have probably set long-term MTA modernization plan back by a decade.
In Paris entire lines are automated, not every NYC 🚇 needs a two people w/$70k-$120k salaries in order to run.

It's very possible that we were the wrong choice for NYC program, but as an advocate I want to see the DOT conduct a transparent, thorough process here. I don't understand how process unfolded w/o any questions or interview to local/international consortium.

@shabazzstuart.bsky.social and the Oonee team have worked hard & know the system extremely well. They deserve answers & another opportunity.
Today, Oonee and @cyclehoop.bsky.social filed a formal protest with @nyc-dot.bsky.social with respect to its handling of Secure Bike Parking. The DOT has not responded to our requests for a debriefing and says it won't provide FOIL materials until June (!!!) More below:
