Swinging into a new era of open streets for students ✨ We've officially installed New York City's first open street gate on Clarkson Street in the West Village!
This gate will give students car-free space when they need it during school activities and more.

NYC is opening 160 car-free (but treat-filled) streets and plazas to enjoy fun and safe fall festivities this spooky season.
Find one near you at nyc.gov/trickorstreets.

For Climate Week, I joined @OpenPlans for a panel to talk about giving New Yorkers safer, cleaner options to get around.
My Get Around NY Act would redirect state funding toward transit, bike infrastructure, and walkable cities that are better for both people and the planet. – at Brooklyn, NY

The momentum is building! Low Traffic Neighborhoods are such a great tool for quality of life - no one wants cars racing through their neighborhoods.
Thanks @ShaunAbreu for your leadership on this!
World-class cities don’t treat their residential streets like highways.
That’s why my bill will bring low traffic neighborhoods to NYC, creating designs that keep access but stop cars from cutting through. Looking forward to working with @bradhoylman and @NYCCouncil on this!

Cities have precious little space. Making sure there are options for people to get around that don't center around private cars helps to keep things moving. – at Baltimore, MD

Building, taking down and storing outdoor dining structures has been prohibitively expensive for most restaurants. But with @NYCMayor signing our bill to legalize year-round outdoor dining into law, dining al fresco is back!

💚A low traffic neighbourhood with pedestrian & cycle access💚
The street trees & planting not only look great - they're helping London cope with the climate crisis: shade reducing heat when it's hot and SUDS absorbing water in heavy rain.
👏👏 @IslingtonBC @RowChampion & team

We're overhauling 116th Street to make your bus faster: 2.5 miles of new bus lanes. Queue jumps that give buses a green light before other vehicles at intersections. Protected bike lanes. 35,000 square feet of new pedestrian space.
This redesign will speed up commutes for more than 65,000 daily bus riders across 10 routes and improve safety for everyone on 116th Street. Because you should be spending less time in traffic and more time enjoying the greatest city in the world.

1/ The Lower East Side's busiest street is a one-lane block. Clinton St takes 16,000 cars a day off the Williamsburg Bridge, and 80% of the people living on it don't own a car. I joined @OpenPlans to make the case for a Low Traffic Neighborhood: instagram.com/p/DcmKGT-ADaM/

4 New Yorkers have now been killed in hit-and-runs in 4 different boroughs in just 5 days. This is a systemic problem – and we need systemic solutions, including redesigning our streets to be far safer for pedestrians and cyclists, and real enforcement against dangerous drivers.

Summer Streets was amazing this year. The level up next year is more hours, more days, and an interconnected route. That is world class!
