Opinion: NYC Must Commit Public Funding to Expand Citi Bike

“In New York, bike share is our only mass transit network that does not receive public financial support. This limits where the system can expand, on what timeline, and how it is priced.”
Mayor’s Budget Plan Cuts $615M from Homeless Services, as Subway Crackdown Intensifies

Service providers have urged the city to hire more workers to help move people more quickly out of shelter or public spaces and into permanent housing.
New York State Behind Schedule on Electric Vehicle Charging Ports, Audit Says

The New York Power Authority has installed only 277 public charging ports between 2013 and May 2021, when the audit period ended. An effort to install high-speed chargers is also lagging: As of last March, NYPA had installed only 29 of the 200 high-speed chargers it was supposed to provide by the end of 2019.
Opinion: Transit Equity for New York City Starts in The Bronx

‘The heart of the problem is Bronxites can move north and south and straight to Manhattan, but they cannot move across The Bronx and throughout the outer boroughs with ease.’
Aggressive Subway Policing Contrasts Mayor’s Pledge to Involve Outreach Workers

Video of two NYPD officers dragging and handcuffing a man at the 8th Ave L train station Monday underscores concerns about Mayor Eric Adams' new plan to send more cops into the subways, advocates say. And an accompanying initiative to have state-funded social service workers conduct outreach in lieu of police won't roll out until spring.
Opinion: It’s Time for Permanent, Equitable 24/7 Open Streets

'The limited Open Streets we have are not distributed equitably. There are no active Open Streets in any of the six community boards that have the fewest residents living near parks. Of all the active Open Street miles in operation today, only 2.2 percent are in the Bronx.’
Opinion: Redesigning SoHo’s Streets for People and Community

‘SoHo is a picturesque, architectural gem of a place to live and work...But it is also an impossible mess of traffic, mini skyscrapers of garbage bags, and elbow wars of crowds in the street and on the sidewalk.’
Opinion: When It Comes to Electric Cars, All Charging is Not Equal

‘If we don’t get public charging infrastructure right, our national push to transition away from conventional cars will quickly fizzle.’
