The man in blue is biking on the wrong side of the two way bike lane. He doesn’t know this because @nyc-dot.bsky.social hasn’t changed the outdated markings on the ground, over three months after they moved all pedestrians to the other side of the Queensboro Bridge. Needlessly dangerous!

34th Ave in Queens is just spectacular. 5 years ago this was 4 lanes dedicated to the moving and free storage of private vehicles. Now it’s a park that stretches more than a mile and connects multiple schools. And it’s a great bike connector from Astoria to Flushing Meadows.

9th Ave on Friday afternoons typically looks like a parking lot as it’s the approach to the Lincoln Tunnel. It’s difficult to even cross the street as a pedestrian, w/total gridlock blocking every crosswalk. Not so on the first Fri evening rush of congestion pricing. Things are moving right along.

Rush hour traffic moving briskly on 8th Ave in Manhattan today as we close out the 1st congestion pricing work week. 3 years ago this was 6 lanes for moving and storing private vehicles + a bike lane. Now we have an expanded sidewalk, bike share dock, and a huge pedestrian island with bike parking.

This morning I walked from 2nd Avenue to 11th Avenue along 60th street, looking for local news crews. Predictably there were a few that were sticking mics in car windows. I asked, “Hey, want to talk to a pedestrian as well?”

Bumper to bumper pedestrian traffic on 5th Avenue today. Pure insanity that the open street days were cut from 3 to 1 this year. At minimum it should be every Sat and Sun from Thanksgiving to Jan 1.
