FWIW the notion that POC NYers don't support livable streets has always been ridiculous to me. It just never matched my lived experience growing up in Brooklyn. As advocates we need to do a better job bringing the message to communities in ways that naturally resonate-- bc the ideas are popular!

Despite common assumptions, traveling by bus, subway or train is far safer than driving. How can transit agencies correct misinformation about the real risks?

Public Health Experts: Narrow Lanes Should Be the Default on City Streets
A recent public health study out of Johns Hopkins has found that narrow lanes reduce crashes on streets, and recommends that lanes as narrow as 9 feet wide be the default.

This isn’t even true. The family of the speeding driver wouldn’t lose access to the car. They’d lose the ability to *speed* in that car, which would have a speed governor installed. Meanwhile, it’s the families whose loved ones are killed by egregiously reckless drivers who actually lose something.
“The owner of the car [that gets the device] may not be the person who’s driving the car,” Magnarelli said, summarizing some of the opposition to the bill (S4045/A2299). “Ninety percent of the time they are the same, but they’re not necessarily. Now you’re going to take the car away from the family. This is where due process comes in and [the Assembly lawyers] are looking into how we deal with due process.”

This is it! You can't game the system as an individual voter. Your first two choices should be your "I'd love for them to be mayor" picks. Next two should be "I'd be okay with them" picks. Last one should be the "It beats the alternative" pick. In other words, just rank in order of preference.
