Despite days of warnings that smoke from Canada wildfires would make its way here to NYC, the City issued limited public statements or guidance yesterday. 🧵

We need a safer, greener, and more livable 4th Avenue! #Fix4thAve!

.@CMShahanaHanif and @NYCCouncil38 have been leading on making Fourth Avenue safe for pedestrians!
As the 3 CMs that represent this stretch, we are pushing @NYC_DOT for maintaining the protected bike lanes and safer intersections.

We’re not focusing enough on the practical impact of Zeldin as NY Gov:
* Defunding mass transit
* Cuts to public schools
* Appointment of Trumpian judges
* Resumption of fracking
* Pardon of Trump on State charges
* End to State funding for abortion providers
The threat is real. – at Manhattan, NY

I got the chance to meet a mother who lives at CHiPS’s Francis Houses and who posed for me with her child. She’s a single mother, who needed a secure home. When she needed help, @chips4thave helped her. See more art about CHiPS: michaeljamesfreedman.com/col…

I had just taken pictures of latest #4thaveyarnbomb led by neighbors and @TransAltBK members @eatdinner and @brooklynsja celebrating how 4th Ave connects communities, featuring a bike and public transit. How can we make sure 4th Ave connects and doesn’t harm, @CMShahanaHanif?
