Great news but forgive my skepticism. I'm gonna wait to pop the champagne until the paint is on the ground. What a joke of a mayor!

📢 LOUDER FOR THOSE IN THE BACK 📢
The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets.
So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?

Imagine being Japan's prime minister and getting a formal letter from Trump about tariffs.
That’s not foreign policy, that’s Wednesday night at a community board meeting. Just missing a CC to the borough president.

A handful of Midtown residents are furious the city wants to make 34th Street buses move faster than 3mph.
The NY Post gave them a megaphone. Let’s take it back.

Is there any cross town street in Manhattan that would be particularly well suited for a similar shared street design?
honestly Broadway between 14th and 34th is the best thing DOT’s done in a decade

Why concerns raised about spillover traffic from the proposed 34th St busway don’t change my support for the Busway
🧵
🧵
The biggest worry we heard was that restricting cars on 34th St would push traffic onto nearby streets and that unlike 14th St, tunnel traffic would cause spillover here.

NYC mayoral candidates should be required to live here for 1 or more years before being eligible to hold the office. This needs to be part of the next city charter revision. If DSNY ticketing was ballot-worthy (2024 Prop 2), this definitely is!
Andrew Cuomo only moved to New York City at the end of 2024 and I do not understand why this isn't a much bigger issue beyond one or two of his opponents bringing it up now and then.

More concrete curb extensions coming to 2nd Ave! (2nd Ave & 19th St pictured) Much needed in this area given chronic @placardabuse.bsky.social from the nearby NYPD offices + 13th precinct. Thanks @nyc-dot.bsky.social!

After (far too many) years of advocacy, the new Queensboro Bridge pedestrian path is finally open! Walkers, runners, and cyclists will no longer be squeezed with far too little space. Proud to have helped push this forward as @manhattancb6.bsky.social's Transportation Committee Chair!

TL/DR: expanded bike lane on west side - no more mixing zones.

I am a car-owning New Yorker who lives and owns a business in lower Manhattan—arguably, one of the rare few who might have the most reasons to be pissed at congestion pricing! But I cannot even begin to tell you how successful this program has been while NOT affecting our sales.
Breaking News: The Trump administration moved to end New York’s congestion pricing program, citing the cost to motorists and other objections.
Trump Administration Moves to End New York’s Congestion Pricing Tolls
President Trump had raised concerns that the new tolling program, the first of its kind in America, was drawing visitors and businesses away from Manhattan.

Strongly support both bills!
Relatedly, @manhattancb6.bsky.social recently passed a resolution calling @nyc-dot.bsky.social to 'promptly implement and
maintain temporary barriers or other protective measures for bike lane protection during road milling'.

Resolution supporting a busway on 42nd St passed M CB-6 full board: 30 in favor, 7 opposed! 🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌
Fellow midtown CBs 4 and 5 are expected to also take a position later this month which will hopefully result in a unified letter from the CBs asking the city to expeditiously move this forward!

Many years of long corporate meetings have prepared me for the endurance test that has been this hearing (still here and waiting to speak)
Should be a fun day of local civils today. Speaking at today's City Council hearing opposing registration for ebikes (pictured is the line to register to speak). CB-6 meeting, where we're voting on a resolution to support a 42nd St busway later. 🚌🚲
