They are carrying your water @nytpitchbot.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/o...

and this, like Melville has visited Penn Station: "As passengers ascend to the concourse, they are confronted with a low-ceilinged maze of subterranean corridors into which no natural light has ever shone."

Lines I wish I had written: "Penn Station is a layer cake of inadequacy..." @nytpatrick.bsky.social

Why Is It So Hard to Fix Penn Station? The nation’s busiest transit hub stands as a symbol of a condition that afflicts so many attempts to get big things done in America: inertia.

Editorial: Bill de Blasio Must Put His Feet Where His Mouth Is on Climate - Streetsblog New York City Despite the drastically warming planet (and his own heated rhetoric), Mayor de Blasio refuses to get out of his SUV — even for one day a week!

This line from an @nytimes.com NEWS ARTICLE about Newsom / Prop 50... "He’s a product of arguably the most liberal state in the country and a promoter of policies that are seen as out-of-touch with many voters." First, maybe Governor not "product". Second, attribution or writer/NYT opinion?

Average annual tuition at LSU for in state residents is around $12,500… So a termination package equal to annual tuition of about 4,300 students. Seems fair. apple.news/ALl3s_PuxRZe...

Ugly Truth: Feds' Canal Street Raid Pushed Aside NYPD, Safety and Free Speech - Streetsblog New York City President Trump's heavily armed and masked immigration troops are turning American cities into battlegrounds — and eliminating accountability and free speech in the public realm.

Smart reporting here by @nyc.streetsblog.org about the ICE raids on Canal and the absence of any NYPD response. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/10/27/u...

OPINION: Canal Street — Not The Vendors — Is the Problem - Streetsblog New York City If Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor — and is true to his vision for a fair, livable city — he will have to take on this long-ignored corridor. Here's how.

Chinatown Plaza Redesign A Good First Step, But City Must Go Bigger - Streetsblog New York City Almost everyone walks through Kimlau Square – even though most of the space is for cars.

Great piece here on the upside down world of Kimlau square - despite overwhelming percentage of use by pedestrians (many, Chinatown's elderly residents), most of the space is given to cars. We need more than one "village" in NYC. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/10/22/c...

See the DOT Vision Zero Data here showing worthy reductions in such fatalities, but clearly showing that cars remain the greatest threat. www.nyc.gov/html/dot/htm....

I believe in Vision Zero so any death involving bicycles and MOre ImpoRTanTLY cars is one too many. And, when compared to deaths involving motor vehicles, one can only wonder why we don't have speed controls on ALL CARS in and out of our city. @nyc.streetsblog.org @streetspac.org

The referenced article goes on to say: "the rate of cyclist fatalities and serious injuries as a share of all bike trips has been trending downward for many years, suggesting that riding a bicycle in New York City has become safer over the long term." A pretty important bit of context for readers.

Why Bicycle Deaths in New York City Are at a 24-Year High (Published 2024)

According to the article the speed limit for e-bikes is a "reasonable move" because... E-bikes have been responsible for an increase in cyclist deaths in recent years." The writer then links to another NYT article that shows DOT data for cycling fatalities. www.nytimes.com/2024/03/05/n...

Wednesday's Headlines: When ICE Came to Canal Street - Streetsblog New York City Federal agents swarmed all over the blocks around our office on Tuesday, so we went outside and covered it. Plus other news.

Important reporting here on clash with Ice on Canal Street. To local residents/observers (I am one) this conflict was inevitable. Hopeful our new Mayor (all in for Zoron) will act to transform Canal Street for the better of NYC and its residents. @transalt.org nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/10/22/w...

Clever plan to give the money to Argentina and then loan it back to us in the form of crypto currency. Everybody wins.

Should the bus be free? Transit advocates are divided — NPR “Free buses” is one of the big ideas that helped Zohran Mamdani win the Democratic mayoral primary in New York City. But the track record in cities that have stopped collecting fares is mixed.

@npr.org I think your framing of "advocates divided" on free buses is misleading. Free buses may not be a top priority - but all advocates for free bus rides also support increased funding, frequency and reliability. This is why we have congestion pricing! apple.news/Af_hj0kkoR8m...
