I think I missed that @mta.info was switching back to the Vignelli style for its maps. Didn’t I read somewhere that NYers preferred to know the geographical relationships over the diagrammatic look?

It takes your multiple cursors/selections and vertically aligns them. It's niche enough that I probably won't ever use it, but it made me feel like the selections concept they've made has power.

Fort Greene Park used to be called Washington Park. My review of that name change, 137 years out: 👍🏻.

Mexico City had a Feminist Action movement reported on by the Brooklyn Eagle in 1944. Among other roles in the war effort, the women were calling for the right to work as streetcar conductors.

Oh I get it, the administration’s waiting until after the mayoral election to come to my town in force.
Never forget that NYC was doing pretty well crime-wise before. Not that “dangerous cities” are more constitutional to fight a “war from within” with than safe cities.

@transalt.org I've struggled to find how to join the monthly BK meetings, am I missing something? I have the alert set up in my phone but I'd love like a standing link to the video call too.

A dream of mine came true! Nabbed a @muli-cycles.bsky.social in Montreal and brought it back to NYC. Did my first “go skate in Manhattan and bring home some party supplies” trip ❤️

Montreal’s bike infra really is in a different league than NYC. The bagels are in the same ballpark too, although I’ll take ours almost any day.

Everyone should ask Mr. Cuomo if he feels guilty for the 1,141 homeless families he could have helped house for a year in apartments like Mr. Zohran’s with the money from his losing primary campaign. Does he feel comfortable wasting more money like this?

It would cost Toronto more to rip out bike lanes than it did to put them in.
“The city spent about 27 million Canadian, or $20 million, to install
bike lanes that Ontario now wants
eliminate. In a report, it estimates
removing them would cost 48 million Canadian dollars, or $35 million.”

I’m not riffing about the “I’m in the hospital” bit. The ED of Cycle Toronto contributed his statement for the article from the hospital.

I’m not riffing about the “I’m in the hospital” bit. The ED of Cycle Toronto contributed his statement for the article from the hospital.
My summary of this article from @nytimes.com is this:
Cyclists: here are the stats from how cars kill us. Here is how ripping up lanes make no economic sense. I am in the hospital.
Motorists: I don’t like the vibe, it’ll probably hurt disabled people or something.

See these while putting away dishes made me notice anew the etchings we did at the library on some of our glasses to commemorate the places we fell in love early on. I love my girlfriend.

Most cyclists who die in NYC involve motor vehicles, and around 5,000 people were injured on a bicycle in 2023. www.nyc.gov/html/dot/dow...
The margin between injury and death with cars for pedestrians and cyclists is razor thin, so I'll call that 5,000 near misses.
