I found the NYPD tow pound in Red Hook where they store thousands of seized illegal mopeds.

I’ve seen a lot of sketchy parking placards on the streets of NYC, but this Trooper Surgeon “on official medical business” may be the funniest. “I can park wherever I want in the middle of Manhattan because I’m giving State Troopers botox” is next level.

There's been an increasing amount of NYPD vehicles on Central Park walking paths lately. It's beyond me why they think it's a good idea to "patrol" Bethesda Terrace by parking an SUV and idling. Or why they to drive on the paths to use the restroom at a playground.

I’ve lived in New York for 24 years and have never been canvassed before these two nice men knocked on my apartment door this afternoon. The Zohran army is real, and the fact that Senators Schumer and Gillibrand are sitting on the sidelines is not going to end well for them.

Bike parking shelter on 17th Street by Union Square. The giant bike network map is a nice touch.

The man in blue is biking on the wrong side of the two way bike lane. He doesn’t know this because @nyc-dot.bsky.social hasn’t changed the outdated markings on the ground, over three months after they moved all pedestrians to the other side of the Queensboro Bridge. Needlessly dangerous!

I passed a rare 20 mph street today in the Queens neighborhood of Corona. Advocates fought for 10 years to get Albany to give us the right to set our own speed limits, and one year later we’ve lowered it to 20 on just a handful of roads. Our next mayor should quickly roll this out in every hood.

34th Ave in Queens is just spectacular. 5 years ago this was 4 lanes dedicated to the moving and free storage of private vehicles. Now it’s a park that stretches more than a mile and connects multiple schools. And it’s a great bike connector from Astoria to Flushing Meadows.

The bike infrastructure in New York, New York casino is woefully inadequate. You can’t just put up a sign and call it a day. We need physically separated lanes in this food court. The casino mayor has been slow rolling the Greenwich protected bike lane for years. He has to go.

Two blocks north of the Congestion Relief Zone border. Anecdotally, there was zero Friday rush hour traffic on 9th Avenue again this week. Unheard of.

Charlie Todd @charlietodd.com · 10/01/2025

9th Ave on Friday afternoons typically looks like a parking lot as it’s the approach to the Lincoln Tunnel. It’s difficult to even cross the street as a pedestrian, w/total gridlock blocking every crosswalk. Not so on the first Fri evening rush of congestion pricing. Things are moving right along.

Also on 8th Ave this morning, a mom heading home on her e-cargo bike after school drop off. I’m seeing more and more of this, even in the middle of winter. One easy trick to avoid the toll.

Rush hour traffic moving briskly on 8th Ave in Manhattan today as we close out the 1st congestion pricing work week. 3 years ago this was 6 lanes for moving and storing private vehicles + a bike lane. Now we have an expanded sidewalk, bike share dock, and a huge pedestrian island with bike parking.

This morning I walked from 2nd Avenue to 11th Avenue along 60th street, looking for local news crews. Predictably there were a few that were sticking mics in car windows. I asked, “Hey, want to talk to a pedestrian as well?”

All you need is a yellow NYPD vest to park for free on 61st St and avoid the congestion charge.

Lots of great signs out tonight. A well deserved celebration for the advocates that never gave up on congestion pricing.

Bumper to bumper pedestrian traffic on 5th Avenue today. Pure insanity that the open street days were cut from 3 to 1 this year. At minimum it should be every Sat and Sun from Thanksgiving to Jan 1.
