Streetopia Upper West Side

Streets are for people, not cars. We inspire and organize our neighbors on Manhattan's Upper West Side to realize the potential of streets and public space to improve health, increase opportunity, and connect each of us to our community. streetopia.city
“Daylighting is a simple & effective tool for improving both safety & quality of life at dangerous intersections…we should be leading the way forward to safer streets for every community, not continuing to exempt ourselves from common-sense state legislation.” – @galeabrewer.bsky.social, May 2024

We expect more from CM @galeabrewer.bsky.social than this.

There are ways to make the UWS more appealing for families and more livable for everyone. Continuing to fight over every single free parking space ain’t one of them. That’s the kind of thing that’s actually chasing families out of NYC.

The vast majority of @galeabrewer.bsky.social’s constituents, incl most families, do not own a car, so this quote is rather curious.

Implying that having a family in the one of the densest, most transit-rich neighborhoods on the continent requires owning a car is some stale Robert Moses thinking.

Street improvements aren’t a popularity contest decided by who screams the loudest and most often.

Letting a tiny minority hold the curb hostage because they want to keep getting something for free should be embarrassing for a progressive politician in 2025.
