I’m not sure the actual distance between bollards, but whatever it is, it should be banned.

Ok back to the general design - no need for ped + cyclist conflict. Flip the planted space and the pedestrian walkway and get the most from tree shade. The access road is one way. It should be 10 or 12’ wide. That extra space should enable comfortable side by side cycling

And don’t get me started about bollards protecting bollards.

The next set of bollards is somehow worse. You are supposed to do this while turning? Cyclists coming the other way are going to overshoot because they have to straighten up for the bollard before finishing a turn.

On paper is is a narrow, but ok ish bike lane. But how many can fit through here at once? One. On the busiest bike path in NYC.

Let’s talk about this brand new, but extremely bad infrastructure design on the Hudson River Greenway I want to call your attention to the bollard placement towards the end, and how the vehicle lane is somehow still wide enough for a two trucks to illegally park

Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

I’m mad about this driver specifically, but I don’t wish them any ill. It’s the system that is broken and state legislators need to realize that they are the only ones who can fix it. (City could fix their towing, but state needs to fix the parking fines.)

311-29176026 summons issued, but likely this paint will never be fixed We really need to fix our parking fines. This SUV gets plenty of them, but they still find this a better choice than going to pay for parking in a garage And who can blame them, the vehicle is never towed. That is the problem

I try not to post when I’m mad at something very specific Today I’m mad this SUV which parks illegally in the truck loading zone every day, backed up into what is now pedestrian space Today, that same behavior blocked DOT contractors from painting this pedestrian space.

I'm reminded of a quote (i've forgotten who said it) that a sufficiently advanced self service store will [eventually? already?] be indistinguishable from shoplifting.

These laws also limit the ability of stores to find their own ways to stop shoplifting in lower-cost ways (which is clearly the union’s goal). European grocery stores often have exit gates that must be scanned with a receipt, a concept that Lidl is now bringing to America:

The US tech sector continues bleeding jobs in official data released today—overall, employment decreased by 17k last month and is down 69k over the last year That's nearly as bad as the worst of the 2024 tech-cession, and much worse than the 2022 boom or even pre-2020 norms

For every “we can”t” from DOT, there is often a factual proof that in fact you can. Today’s proof: we CAN take a lane from the west side highway.

The bright spot [pun intended] isn’t about how much we generated today, it’s about how the pace of growth continues to accelerate.

Footnote - enforcement is not discretionary for parking enforcement agents at all, the discretion framework only applies sworn officers (if it applies here at all).

Jehiah @jehiah.cz · 29/09/2026

I think this is a fair way to provide a check and balance - and a good pattern to start - while leaning on Tisch to execute spinning that group down. (Setting aside opinions on pace of that change)

Still no appetite to rigorously ticket cars on sidewalks The most black and white of black and white parking issues. Mamdani + Tisch need to appoint someone to clean up parking enforcements act. No more skipping vehicles. No more looking the other way at vests on dashboard. No more corruption

This morning, on 34th Street near Herald Square, a dump-truck driver hit and killed a New Yorker on a bike. The victim was a delivery worker riding a JOCO rental e-bike, a low-speed pedal-assist bike. The truck driver fled the scene.

I continue to say - duke it out on who the city should subsidy, then meter the spots and give a 25% or 50% discount on meter rates. No more reserved placard parking citywide.

NYC lawmakers want 'low-traffic neighborhoods' with more speed humps, street changes

Yes - we need more city council members to explicitly say: reduce the number of cars in our neighborhood. Next: reduce the number parked in neighborhoods, not just the ones that drive through (which has also reduces the number that drive through)

gothamist.com

The bill mandates a select number of "traffic-calming devices" in five different neighborhoods.
