I have high hopes for exactly this happening tonight at the meeting re: the 31st St ped/bike-friendly redesign. NYCers: 6:30 at The Marquee Astoria, f/k/a Astoria World Manor.

The candidates running to replace Zohran on how they'd handle silly bike lane backlash like the 31st St fight:

I think Tisch personally wants this and Mamdani, for pragmatic reasons, has decided this isn't the fight he wants to have with her. Probably because he will need to have bigger fights with her, especially about ICE.

My explanation, then, is that Jessica Tisch really wants this policy. It's her brainchild, conceived because her mother Merryl Tisch got pissed at e-bikers.

I also don't think ending the policy would generate a backlash that he couldn't handle. Lots of people find cyclists annoying, but few were even paying attention to this policy or would pay attention if he ended it.

Mamdani hasn't yet stopped the criminal bike crackdown and is dodging questions about it. We know he personally disagrees with the policy.

I have to wonder if Cherée Buggs's utterly shitbrained ruling reversing the 31st St redesign is an attempt to screw with Mamdani in advance. The Queens Dem Party doesn't like him, Buggs must be part of that machine to even get to be a judge, & Mamdani is known for being for this type of redesign.

If this is accurate, Cheree Buggs (the judge) is a complete buffoon who just set a legal precedent that, if allowed to stand, would prevent the city from any safety redesign that annoys a handful of disgruntled suburbanites who drive to the businesses they inherited from their parents.

NYC progressives who want to bring the NYPD to heel, it is our mission to constantly talk about Tisch like the corrupt little oligarchic princess and ICE collaborator that she is. When talking to non-lefties, emphasize her corruption, which this article discusses.

A crazy number of people in NYC still seem to think bikers are the enemies of Pedestrians, despite the fact that WE are the ped advocates. FFS, we're the ones pushing daylighting which is easily the biggest Ped safety initiative and *drivers* are fighting it to preserve parking!

It's helpful to remember that when a cyclist collides with a pedestrian, it's vanishingly unlikely to cause a serious injury, unlike when a car collides with a pedestrian or cyclist. I was hurt worse when a runner crashed into me than the one time a cyclist collided with me as a pedestrian.

For all the breathless, sweating panic about Mamdani one time saying "seize the means of production" and AOC being both hot and socialist, by far the greatest threat of central economic planning and gulag labor comes indisputably from the Right.

They want the benefits of the establishments built by generations of liberalism but they want to control them and subject them to their will, as well as pull up the ladder behind them. And then hollow bread and circuses for the masses.

Transit officials have said e-bikes account for less than 4% of traffic injuries in the city.” A policy that targets 4% instead of 96% is glaringly disproportionate. Drivers cause the most deaths, injuries, and destruction. Ask yourself why your insurance premiums are so high!
