When Mayor-elect Mamdani takes office, he will control over 6,300 miles of streets throughout the five boroughs.
Reducing car dependence is one of the best ways to reduce costs for New Yorkers. Owning a car costs nearly $9,000 annually, while taking transit costs just $1,500.
NYC Council is moving forward with several e-bike bills and needs to hear from you.
We all want the fastest and most dangerous e-bikes off our streets. But we need a fair transition for delivery workers, parents, older New Yorkers, and commuters who rely on e-bikes every day.
We also need to stop the sale of faster e-bikes in the first place.
@CMCrystalHudson's Intro 244 would ban the sale of Class 3 e-bikes that travel 21–25 mph, while protecting access to slower, legal e-bikes that New Yorkers rely on.

These bills could be voted on as soon as next month!
Call your City Council Member and ask them to support Intros 988, 985, and 244.
We can make our streets safer without leaving the New Yorkers who rely on e-bikes behind.

We’re heartbroken by the building collapse in Flatbush that took 8 lives and left 18 New Yorkers seriously injured, with the toll still climbing.
Our hearts are with the families and neighbors affected by this tragedy.
UPDATE: Eight people have died and at least 17 have been injured, including three firefighters and seven children, after a three-story building collapsed into a construction site in Flatbush, Brooklyn.
Officials say others may still be missing.
The building at 1321 Flatbush Ave, with a store at street level and apartments above, fell into the excavation site next door at 2625 Bedford Ave just after 4 PM Wednesday.
Demolition and construction had been going on next door for months and city records show a summons was issued in April, and a stop-work order was allegedly violated and later resolved.
At least eight households were displaced.

Delivery workers keep New York City running, yet too many lack access to safe places to rest and charge their e-bikes.
Today, we joined @LosDeliveristas to support @HarveyforNY's legislation to expand access to rest areas and safe charging for delivery workers.

This over 6-way intersection by Kimlau Square is needlessly dangerous to our community members. Seniors in Chinatown should not be dying on the streets and we need to redesign Kimlau Square ASAP.

Fantastic news for the 25% of truck drivers that use their truck bed more than once a year!!
Toyota is relaunching the Scion brand, and its first product is the KEI-01, a tiny truck with a 660-cc engine. The KEI-01 is basically a rebadged Daihatsu Hijet Jumbo, but will be assembled in Princeton, Indiana. Initial sales will be via a fleet-focused trial program, but limited retail sales could come if there is strong enough demand.

We asked for better snow clearing at bus stops, sidewalks, and crosswalks, and the City listened!
For the first time, DSNY has added every bus stop, sidewalk, and crosswalk to its snow removal routes and acquired 120 snow blowers to help clear it faster.

Thank you Mr. Mayor for keeping New Yorkers safe🫡
We searched over 200 businesses for illegal e-bike and e-scooters — and issued 130 citations in 77 summonses for law breakers.
Putting New Yorkers at risk isn’t a profit model in our city.

When we talk about everyday community heroes, it's people like Ms. Bhat.
After a 2025 storm damaged her Clinton Hill art studio by $70,000, she began organizing neighbors to clear leaves from storm drains and prevent flooding.

Our aging sewer system can't keep up with increasingly intense rainfall, and city maintenance alone won't solve the problem.
More than 70% of NYC is covered by impermeable surfaces like asphalt and concrete, leaving rainwater nowhere to go and making flooding worse.
