'MTA Faces $95.6 Million Fuel Hit This Year From Iran War' -- www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

DOT should think "Grander" for its Grand St. bike lane redesign, Lower Manhattanites said. The key crosstown 2-way path will be a mere 4ft each way. DOT said it needed to "balance" cycling and pedestrian space against the wider car travel and parking lanes. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/10/27/c...

But you see, the problem is bus lanes.

Shit we're turning into... Iowa

Who’s gonna tell him? No one. No one will tell him “When there is a car accident in the area, of which there are many, they don’t stop cars from entering the Park” @nypost.com

One of the reasons Transportation Alternatives conspiracy theories spread is because there are diminishingly few local news sources in NYC and people have rotted their brains on TikTok and Reels bsky.app/profile/gwyn...

There is simply not enough service on the Lexington Ave. lines from 4-7 p.m. every day. MTA should be running peak-hour Victoria Line frequencies here, and they're just not anywhere close.

Haters gonna hate street improvements We need fast government to nip the hatred in the bud Vote yes on 3

Who the hell would develop this method? I saw officers doing payment enforcement on Munich subway (whole system is proof of payment). Plainclothes, only making a few inquiries per car. Not disruptive but still creates a sanction/disincentive

Put protected bike lanes around Central Park you cowards nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/10/19/e...

Awful to watch what is happening in Toronto, but the resistance to Doug Ford's attempt to endanger people not in cars is inspiring evidence of a growing international movement. We will look back on images like this the way people in the Netherlands look back at #StopDeKindermoord photos.

What would a healthier city sound like? This thoughtful piece from Noema looks at noise as environmental pollution and how better planning, transportation policy and urban design can create healthier soundscapes. 🔗 https://www.noemamag.com/the-potent-pollution-of-noise/

Someone thought they were operating high speed rail and should never drive again

"In treating the influencer operation as almost a 1:1 replacement for the news media, Rowland isn’t saying that there shouldn’t be gatekeepers; she’s implying that she and her fellow friendly influencers (some of whom might occasionally be on the payroll) should be the gatekeepers."

Important piece from @bethosborne.bsky.social on how American gov't gets transportation wrong Troubling that she thinks House Dems will reboot the POS Republican reauthorization bill they voted for this past summer usa.streetsblog.org/2026/10/13/2...

this is genuinely the best info screen i’ve ever seen on public transit anywhere. every time i get an r211 train i have to take a few moments to admire how well done it is

Thinking about Mamdani sustaining Eric Adams' 11th hour reintroduction of cars to two city parks after 5 years of successful car-free statusL Piece I wrote w @kathyparkprice.bsky.social in March www.nydailynews.com/2026/03/14/m...

NYC public school students show, in great detail, that Mayor Mamdani doesn’t have to build a BQE bypass highway over the Brooklyn Bridge. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/10/09/f...

Amazing content from an actual church. Watch the whole thing. www.instagram.com/reel/DeQLUDF...

IMO: The real lesson here is that a trader’s strategy of landing one or two massive bets is not how government policy works.

South Dakota has the highest state birth rate. I'm sure it's brimming over with transit maintenance needs & ideas for new service. Utah is highest in marriage - Trax & Frontrunner have a short window to crank out proposals!

The Church that had to postpone an anti-vision zero “community” meeting a few years ago because a 9-year-old was killed by a truck driver the same week is at it again, this time protesting bus lane upgrades. www.instagram.com/p/DeHtgftlLi...

No one needs an extra year to sort public input into categories or themes & describe how the workable stuff is reflected in design options

Another reason to move quickly to pour concrete and demap streets. This is silly nonsense.

Reinvent Albany joins 15 advocacy groups, including @envdefensefund.bsky.social, @nrdc.org, @nypirg.bsky.social, @partnership4nyc.bsky.social, and @tstc.bsky.social in a new amicus brief supporting the MTA’s congestion pricing program in Duffy v. MTA. Read the amicus brief here: buff.ly/wBwZzXY

This line from Giorgio Agamben’s Homo Sacer is rattling around in my head as I read the news this morning…

Janno Lieber warned today that the surface transportation bill in front of Congress (which sucks) could take $250 million a year away from the MTA's capital plan nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/09/30/m...

Great to see this state DOT-directed advocacy. Despite a few good projects here & there in NYC, NYSDOT is largely in a time warp in terms of policy & output (Still waiting on that study of the West Side Highway)

Thank you, President Trump, for making new rolling stock cost $1 billion more it should. We salute you for making the US' transit cost crisis even worse. 🫡

Well well well, citywide bus speeds have hit a four-year high nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/09/29/w...

I had the same question. The doors should not show as closed if this happens.

Broadway south of Houston when

I can't wait for no one to believe the data that this is good for business and the city economy overall. I still can't believe that Times Square has cars driving through it, especially during the busiest times of the day....
