Thanks to @nycsanitation.bsky.social, dozens of new public wastebaskets have been placed where they were missing. We’ll keep monitoring to ensure they stay in place — and keep pushing for more where needed. Cleaner streets are better for everyone. #WestVillage #Chelsea #HellsKitchen

After I sent a letter to the Department of Sanitation requesting more public wastebaskets in District 3, my office hit the streets to check on flagged corners — and here’s what we found: 🗑️✅ Lots of new bins installed and real progress on the ground.

I’m proud to fund @aceprogramsny for supplemental sanitation services throughout our district. ACE helps New Yorkers overcome homelessness through workforce training, education, and supportive services.

If you see their workers in red helping to keep our streets clean, say hi!

🏁🚌💨 ON YOUR MARKS, GET SET… RACE THAT BUS!

Tired of long commutes? Sick of your bus getting stuck in traffic? Ever feel like you could walk faster than a Midtown bus at rush hour?

The 34th Street Bus Race is Thursday, August 7. Council Member @ebottcher.bsky.social's got the details:

Horses shouldn’t be pulling tourist carriages through Midtown traffic. It’s time to pass Ryder’s Law.

As the Council Member for the district where the stables are located — and where Ryder collapsed on the streets of Hell’s Kitchen and later died — I am outraged by what’s happening. Ryder was an ill, elderly horse who was approved by the City as “fit to work” and forced to pull a

Last week, I stood with dozens of concerned New Yorkers on the steps of City Hall in support of #RydersLaw — legislation that would make New York City part of the growing list of major cities around the world that have banned tourist horse carriages.

We identified key next steps to increase outreach, strengthen engagement, and connect more individuals with safe shelter and the supportive services they need. Every New Yorker deserves dignity, stability, and a real path forward.

Last week, our office organized a walkthrough w/ NYC Dept of Homeless Services & residents of areas on the far West Side that have faced ongoing challenges with encampments, unsheltered homelessness, & public health concerns. These conditions are heartbreaking. No one should be living on the street.

There is no poop fairy. 🪄Please pick up after your dog.
