New York should lead the world in most things — but not construction delays. One of the worst causes? Relocating the web of underground utilities. Today, I introduced a bill to speed up the process so we can get back to building things quickly again. www.timeout.com/newyork/news...

What’s going on with the Second Avenue subway?
The long-delayed Q train extension into East Harlem is moving forward, but a high-stakes funding fight with the federal government is suddenly putting the timeline under pressure.

Those who use ghost plates to evade tolls and enforcement are taking us all for a ride. It's time to put that to an end. Today, I'm introducing legislation with @Sen_Gounardes to tackle repeat offenders. gothamist.com/news/nyc-gho...

NYC ‘ghost cars’ more likely to drive dangerously and owe fines, report finds
The City Council finds these cars, with their illegal plates, are most prevalent in the Bronx, followed by Brooklyn and Queens.

We cannot accept gun violence as inevitable. That’s why I’ve partnered with @ebottcher.bsky.social to require gun stores to show graphic images that reflect the reality of having a gun in the home. Read our op-ed on why we should make danger impossible to ignore👇 bit.ly/4uN74m6
