A huge win for businesses all across the city, especially our smaller businesses who were left out or felt discouraged because of how arduous the process was.

📷 It’s official: Mayor Mamdani has signed Int. 655, making outdoor dining year-round in NYC! Thank you @mayor.nyc.gov, @cmrestler.bsky.social & @speakermenin.bsky.social; outdoor dining means more places to eat, gather, and enjoy our neighborhoods. This is a big win for people-centered streets. 📷📷

I love this team

A win for the Bronx and all of NYC! The relentless advocacy from the Stop the Cross Bronx Expansion Coalition and community members is paying off!! A testament to what’s possible when communities come together and put people first!

New York State is stopping plans to repair and widen five bridges along the Cross Bronx Expressway after a multi-year fight with local Bronx residents who objected to the plan on the grounds that a wider highway would bring even more cars and traffic to a noted asthma alley. buff.ly/hKGqaVl

Port Authority is a government agency, not a private corporation. Yet, they operate against the public good frequently by underfunding public transportation. We had to campaign just to restore PATH service to the same level as it was 20 years ago. And where is the PATH extension to Newark Airport?

Colleen Wilson@colleenonthescene.bsky.social

The Port Authority quietly added and raised new fees and tolls to help pay for the new $11B Port Authority Bus Terminal - so quiet even its own users didn't know. Its biggest user - NJ Transit - is facing a 60% increase in costs in FY27, compared to FY25.

With the Governor fighting to push back the deadline on our climate goals we’re in a critical moment. But lost in the conversation is a sector that makes up over a third of all emissions: transportation. We can’t meet our climate goals without reducing driving.

"Outdoor dining was one of the few silver linings of a difficult chapter in our history. With the right adjustments, it can remain a defining feature of the city’s streetscape - helping small businesses flourish while creating vibrant public spaces that bring neighbors together."

Great op-ed from @johnsurico.bsky.social. Let’s continue investing in our public transit system.

There’s no better moment than right now to bring the G back to Forest Hills on weekends. Here’s why in @nyc.streetsblog.org: nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/01/27/m...

@shabazzstuart.bsky.social and the Oonee team have worked hard & know the system extremely well. They deserve answers & another opportunity.

Shabazz Stuart@shabazzstuart.bsky.social

Today, Oonee and @cyclehoop.bsky.social filed a formal protest with @nyc-dot.bsky.social with respect to its handling of Secure Bike Parking. The DOT has not responded to our requests for a debriefing and says it won't provide FOIL materials until June (!!!) More below: docsend.com/view/2wh47gj...

Speaker Adams did not bring CM Julie Won’s bill, Int. 1138 to a vote this session, which would have given New Yorkers more visibility at intersections. We are deeply disappointed in this result. This is a setback in the fight for daylighting but we will not be deterred.

It was great joining my friends at the @ridersalliance.org to demand for an expanded Fair Fares program and free buses. An equitable transportation system is essential for NYC.

🚇 Riders Alliance@ridersalliance.org

On Sunday, riders took action to demand an affordability agenda that meets the moment. One that will offer free and reduced transit fare to more than 2 million New Yorkers by expanding the Fair Fares program and making our buses free for all riders.

Let’s get Int. 431-A across the finish line and bring much needed reform to our street vending system while also protecting our immigrant communities. Thank you to @pisancheznyc.bsky.social for your leadership on this.

We were proud to join @streetvendorproj.bsky.social, @maketheroadny.bsky.social , at City Hall yesterday in support of @cmpisanchez.bsky.social ‘s amended version of bill Int. 431-A which reforms NYC’s street vending system. ☎️ We have 5️⃣ days to pass this vital bill, call your councilmember today!

Please continue calling on Speaker Adams and the City Council to pass Intro 1138. This is the simplest and most effective way to improve visibility and safety at our intersections. action.openplans.org/support-hard... @openplans.org

Streetsblog NYC@nyc.streetsblog.org

200 local groups — from NYC DSA to the Staten Island Conservative Party — joined the growing chorus for banning parking at corners in order to improve safety and visibility in hopes of pushing forward a stalled Council bill to mandate the street redesign known as daylighting.

Such a beautiful and important moment for this city and for this country.

BREAKING: Mamdani capped his campaign for NYC mayor with a historic win, defeating Cuomo in a contest closely watched by national Dems, Republicans and the White House. He'll be the first Muslim mayor of NYC — and Trump's new foil ahead of the midterms. politi.co/3LthNzY
