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...

For what it’s worth it’s now unclear if the guy in the video reps Le Petit Cafe or what. Will need to do some digging/confirming on this one.

It's funny how when you dig a little bit, you find Mamajuana posting stuff like this while all recent Google reviews are about how mid the food is and how rude the staff is. But yeah, it's probably the 5-year-old pedestrian plaza. 🙄

Cars zooming down Dyckman St. are not going to stop at your restaurant. This "visibility" nonsense doesn't hold up to any amount of scrutiny.

For instance, this is a bad design. You've taken up half of the painted sidewalk extension space with planters because it's the only way the city can think of to keep drivers from taking up pedestrian space. Just build out the concrete sidewalk!

Every month I look at the MTA Board's Capital Program agenda for the upcoming 12 months and am just shocked at the paucity of oversight for a multi-billion-dollar capital program.

“Prominent” Right. Sure. An unemployed 74 year old too afraid of his own shadow to leave Maspeth isn’t how I’d define that word.

Fill in the blank in this NY Post headline. You get as many guesses as you want. I’ll post the answer shortly.

Why are they still not done building out the Flatbush Ave. busway? It’s taken months to do this project which should take a week or even a weekend, and all this does is give ammunition to critics.

Haven't had a chance to say this in a while because of the summer, but Tuesday's preliminary total has it as the 3rd busiest day for subway ridership in the post-COVID era. I expect it will inch into 2nd place once the final numbers are updated later this week.

I feel like I’m losing my mind here? Why are you excusing an absolutely tasteless comparison to the Nazis that was published on Yom Kippur?

Second Ave. Sagas @2avesag.as · 22/09/2026

It's also important to bring facts to the table, not that I'd expect The Post to do that. We don't have a design for the Bike Blvd., but the Bus Network Redesign for the B65 doesn't move the route from in front of Betty Davis' house. The Nazi comparison lady is making up things to complain about.

I walked by Castel Beranger too, the building near Mirabeau designed by Guimard.

I took a little trip with my daughter to Mirabeau. That’s a nifty station. I got to ride the new MF 19 trains as well.

I’m curious who asked the stupid question in Morgan’s tweet but at least the mayor came prepared to answer it.

Thousands of miles of NYC public space are "directly in front of someone's home." How did a real City Council rep say these words without instantly dying of shame? Anyway, trees are better for your health that made-up mystical energy.

"You cannot plant right directly in front of someone's home. Basically, we believe that's going to stop the good energy coming in, bad for the health," Brooklyn Councilwoman Susan Zhuang said.

The MTA was extremely up front last night about the emergency work and yet actual journalists who should know better were popping off today! Twitter Brain.

The secondary part of this story is how inane it is for people like Reggie Stewart to hide behind the mantle of climate and environmental justice while whining about parking spots.

The whole analysis starts and ends here. If you're fishing for other explanations, as The Times seemingly does here, you've missed the story about how baseless conspiracy theories infects right-wing urban planning.

Why would I be on X, the algorithmic right wing slop app? Why are we arguing against the same people who have made the same spurious arguments against congestion pricing for half a decade?

Meanwhile, they remain so mad that they cannot stop NYC's congestion pricing that they want to turn it on its head completely. You can already institute highway congestion pricing. It's just called a road toll.

Section 11404 -Congestion Relief Program. The Congestion Relief Program
authorizes $50 million per year in competitive grant funding to advance innovative,
integrated, and multimodal solutions to congestion reliefin the most congested
metropolitan areas ofthe United States. The program goals should be changed to remove
a reference to "optimizing transit systems" and remove project eligibilities that include
cordon pricing as well as transit and commuter buses. In addition, the name ofthe
program should be Highway Congestion Relief Program. These modifications would best
address congestion in ways that fit the role ofthe FHWA, and FTA can leverage existing
programs to achieve the transit-related elements ofthis program.

Porous pavement - which is a must based on recent microbursts creating flash flooding - is apparently too "DEI" for Sean Duffy's roving band of morons. The Trump Admin is also fighting a war on trees.
