They gave us a question today and our audience is quantifiably bigger now than ever before, so maybe you should reconsider this ill-informed armchair media analysis and find something else to get mad about.

Sorry to get on the same soapbox again, but this guy sued the city in addition to the driver because the city can pay out the big bucks and the driver can't, and the reason the driver can't is that US insurance minima are too low.

Thanks. I added a link to our past coverage showing the bike lane had reduced injuries.

"Waymo has told advocates that expecting it to respect bike lanes is 'too high a bar' because customers expect to be dropped off in them." To be crystal clear, it's illegal for a car to be in a bike lane. It doesn't matter what Waymo's customers expect; the company shouldn't be doing it.

More to the point: the policy outcome here is one you and I are both happy with. I respect if you didn't like our approach/strategy - really, I do - but posting like this when we've ended up where we all wanted to end up feels like picking a fight for the sake of picking a fight.

The story is written more or less straight because we were the first to break it so prioritized providing proper context. Nothing in there matches the level of negativity you're projecting on it.

Perhaps we just fundamentally disagree on the value of scrutinizing elected officials, and that's fine, but that's what I understand as the role of journalism & how I've practiced it for 10+ years. That doesn't change because the mayor is now one of the good guys. And today showed that it works.
001
David Meyer @dmey.bsky.social · 18/03/2026
I'm frustrated because I have known you a long time and I don't think these criticisms are fair. We covered this crackdown for a year, more than anyone, publicly held the mayor accountable when it continued on his watch & celebrated (literally popped champagne) when it ended.

David Meyer @dmey.bsky.social · 18/03/2026
We have asked these questions repeatedly and will continue to try to get them answered, but they are secondary to today's news that the crackdown is ending. BTW our story literally said "making good on his campaign promise"...

Would you have preferred we kept silent when the criminal summonses continued on his watch?

One of the biggest tells of how blatantly screwed up medicine's mishandling of chronic illnesses is comes from physicians who end up suffering from them pretty much all saying that it's nothing like what they were taught it's like and no one else in the profession is bothered by that.

Believe it or not there are people who want us to go to war with the mayor NOW over Bedford Ave. All we're doing with this tracker is saying that we haven't forgotten about that and other projects/initiatives killed by Adams.
