Brooklyn’s a great place to bike, but I have problems with how @peopleforbikes made this rating. For example, Adams has only built 88 mi of #bikenyc lanes across city, less than half of what’s required in streets plan, and in BK many still don’t connect brooklynpaper.com/brooklyn-b…
For the first time, Brooklyn, New York, tops our rankings as the best large U.S. city for bicycling! Brooklyn’s growing bike network of protected bike lanes, greenways, and bike boulevards make daily destinations accessible for all. Read more now at bit.ly/3IqZeLe

Some bad reporting here IMO:
* NYC residents, the vast majority of readers, are more concerned about NYC’s population, not metro area’s, yet that info’s nowhere in article.
* Bronx and Manhattan precede Queens alphabetically, not in population
Do better @Gothamist @giuliaheyward
NYC metro area's population nearly back to pre-pandemic levels, report shows

“Closing any store is never easy,” Tony Spring, chairman and chief executive officer of Macy’s, said. Gothamist could have added that the man making that statement has a total yearly compensation of $5.78 million, so it's not too difficult for him, either. @_charleslane

Hey @NYCTBus: how is it possible you can’t maintain bus service on 7th Ave #parkslope? There’s supposed to be a B67 or B69 *every 15 minutes*, not whenever as this latest time frame shows.
Why can’t this be fixed? And how much longer till you redesign the Bklyn bus network?

I think my move away from broadcast/cable television has officially begun, with NYC’s @pbs station @ThirteenWNET showing “The Brady Bunch Movie” tonight.

... and — along with fellow NYS governors for the past five decades — ignoring the needs of most NYers and NYC transit. You have the job now, @GovKathyHochul, and the responsibility of properly funding @MTA and ensuring it stays healthy and can grow as it should — do it already
Tired of all this handwringing over Biden pardoning son, who had descended into drug addiction, but T pardoning son-in-law’s father for tax evasion, campaign finance offenses, and witness tampering *and* naming him ambassador to France is AOK with everyone ny1.com/tx/south-texas-el-pa…

Hey @NYCTBus: are there *any* B67s/69s heading to Kensington on the next 25 minutes? Because these “scheduled” buses are a joke. With two buses on 7th Ave, why is service consistently so bad? And why is nothing being done about it @CMShahanaHanif?

With @GovKathyHochul’s plan, how is $2.25 a disincentive to not drive into Manhattan when it’s cheaper than the transit fare? Shouldn’t riders also expect an off-peak discount from the charge we have to pay to enter Manhattan? gothamist.com/news/nycs-cong… @s_nessen

Second-best joke award about congestion pricing goes to @StreetsblogNYC @GershKuntzman
Best joke: @GovKathyHochul is a “leader” who thinks all hard-working New Yorkers drive into Manhattan nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/11/…
