Just hit by car running a red light because intersection blocked by #Chinatownbus. I'm tired of living in a #thirdworldcity where biggest vehicle gets right of way. @NYPD5Pct not willing or able to enforce traffic laws. @CM_MargaretChin @NYC_DOT @BrianKavanaghNY #VisionZero
Traffic light is offline at 5th Ave and 44th St. in Manhattan, and NYC drivers don't know to treat it like a 4 way stop. Need traffic cop to direct traffic asap. @nyc311 @NYPDTransport
I'm #voting for @CynthiaNixon tomorrow because she's the only candidate who hasn't shut down a #corruption commission.
Redesigning the Streets of Manhattan for People, Not Cars Please do this immediately @NYC_DOT @NYCMayorsOffice citylab.com/design/2018/08…
Ny:T641788c just ran a red light on 5th Ave at 44th St, forcing a cyclist out of the #bikenyc lane. Why does @nyctaxi condone this dangerous behavior? @HowsMyDrivingNY
Any #carfree NYers know a place to rent a car near a @NJTRANSIT or @MetroNorth rail station?
Why do drivers do this????? @nyctaxi @HowsMyDrivingNY NY:FCS736
April 3, 1932 @nytimes map showing shifting population centers of the city and boroughs, 1850-1930.
Parked in "protected" #bikeNYC lane at Allen and Canal Streets with "TRAFFIC SURVEY" sign on dash. Is this yours @NYC_DOT ? That space is usually occupied by @FDNY personal cars. @HowsMyDrivingNY NY:cck5285 #VisionZero
Typical day Sidewalk-Crosswalk-Hydrant #Trifecta at the Canal/Eldridge #Chinatownbus station. @HowsMyDrivingNY @nyctaxi ny:t616818c
Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of “high crimes & misdemeanors.” It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you???
Squeezing between parked cars on sidewalk by #SaraRooseveltPark, behind a @NYCParks worker getting into his garbage truck I said "You shouldn't park on the sidewalk." "Oh yeah? Says who?" He makes a great point. Who indeed will tell city workers they shouldn't park on sidewalks?
It makes me sad to see @NYPD5Pct ticket a middle aged man on a human powered bicycle in the #ChrystieStreet protected #bikenyc lane while refusing to ticket drivers of deadly vehicles running red lights. #zerovision
What the literal fuck.
If every New York City taxpayer is entitled to a free parking space near their home and/or work, how can I turn mine into a #parklet?
Please sign on as a supporter of NYC’s Reckless Driver Accountabilty Act to ensure that chronic reckless drivers get proper training as to the horrendous and likely outcomes of their anti-social behavior. Knowledge is a cure. #restorativejustice #OpenData secure.ngpvan.com/1DFI1M55ikK9EG…
NYC needs to do more to prevent reckless driving. I’m introducing the Reckless Driver Accountability Act to help get reckless drivers off the road by booting cars of the top 1% most dangerous drivers until owners complete a Driver Accountability Program. bit.ly/2LpbzwU

JSK's words on the same day Polly Trottenberg says NYC can't figure out a way to eliminate parking placards (or parking placard abuse) and everyone's fighting for curb space provide quite a contrast to each other.
For all the headlines that scooters generate, the challenge for cities isn't one of mobility, but of management. Streets need to keep pace with dedicated infrastructure for car-free mobility, not with barriers to shut it out. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
@NYC_Pedestrian Unfortunately, they are not unique. However, any combination of plate, state, and license type is unique at any given time (over time plates may be recycled).
The outrageous thing about the BQE repairs isn't that they're happening - it's that the work costs billions of dollars and the drivers who use the BQE pay nothing for it.
