We're hearing they're targeting installation for next year.

For an actual public servant.
Who we choose to hold a moment of silence for and who we do not are silences that speak volumes.
rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

Accidents down 55% and injuries down 51% since nyc congestion pricing (!!!)
www.nydailynews.com/2025/02/22/c...
⭐ $48M in transit funding
⭐ 1M fewer vehicles
⭐ 50% fewer traffic injuries
⭐ 1.5M more visitors to the congestion relief zone
By the numbers, #CongestionPricing is already a clear success for NYC — and we deserve to see those benefits continue.
It’s not just Texas.
Measles vax rates are down in NYC as well.
Most recent data: Just 81% of kids here got their first MMR dose by 24 months (down from 94% pre-pandemic)
NYC Health Dept is urging all parents to make sure their kids are vax’d

The online portal through which state Medicaid departments receive federal funding stopped working Tuesday, according to state officials. The outage at least temporarily jeopardized payments the federal government legally owes Medicaid programs, which serve tens of millions of low-income Americans.

Ms. Robbins, who grew up in Manhattan but now lives in Queens, compared navigating the intersection where she works, at Canal and Lafayette Streets, to a game of Frogger — at least in the old days. “It would stress me out just getting lunch,” she said. Thursday was her first day there post-congestion pricing. “I couldn’t believe it,” she said. “I was able to cross safely, and cars weren’t honking. It was like a whole other world.”
“It was much easier to cross the street,” said Mr. Dandia, a 32-year-old native of Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. “Definitely quieter. Definitely calmer.” Mr. Dandia, who also teaches a New York City history course at CUNY Guttman Community College, added that he saw great potential in congestion pricing. “I think it could lead to a renaissance — a street renaissance.”
In an email, Mr. Sethi, 42, reported that his Lyft driver got him from downtown Manhattan to Newark Liberty International Airport in just 23 minutes. “No honking, zero congestion around the Holland Tunnel, no need to leave an extra half-hour early to account for traffic,” he said.
On Tuesday, a social media user named Ali Lyles posted a video on TikTok in which he compared being charged a toll as he crossed a bridge to “being robbed without a gun.” Just a short time later, he posted another video, acknowledging that he had saved half an hour from his commute. “There wasn’t no traffic, bruh,” he said. “I might actually like congestion pricing!”

A screen grab from the NYC DOT's senior pedestrian safety report noting that protected bike lanes greatly benefit the safety of seniors on our streets.
My reminder that protected bike lanes significantly improve safety for EVERYONE on the road--including seniors. A DOT study found protected bike lanes reduce senior pedestrian deaths and serious injuries by 39% and total senior pedestrian injuries by 22%. www.nyc.gov/html/dot/dow...
