Outsourced NYC Trash is Causing a ‘Never-Ending Odor Event’ Upstate, Lawsuit Alleges

Residents in upstate New York are putting a new statewide constitutional right to its first test in two lawsuits filed this spring, alleging that a landfill receiving garbage from the city is disrupting their right to clean air and a healthful environment.
Opinion: Who Gets to Enjoy NYC’s Open Streets?

"This program was a lifeline for New York City during the pandemic, and now it needs more resources and structural support to reach its full potential."
Opinion: MTA’s Congestion Pricing Plan Must Protect the Livelihood of For-Hire Drivers

"For-hire driving in New York City has historically provided good-paying work and a path to the middle class for a vast minority immigrant worker base. Over the last decade, that work has slowly been chipped away despite the need for rides remaining high."
Opinion: Transit Riders Won Congestion Pricing. We Deserve To See It Happen

"With years of work, riders pried congestion pricing from a recalcitrant Albany. We intend to see the program fully and fairly rolled out next year. When congestion pricing is implemented, drivers will pay their equitable share to access the most heavily trafficked and transit adjacent neighborhoods in the United States."
Opinion: We Need a Real Penn Station Plan, Not a Neighborhood Replacement Scheme

"Our leaders seem blithely unaware that we have within our grasp a once-in-a-century opportunity to create a transit hub worthy of New York, which many of us still think of as 'the greatest city on Earth.'"
Opinion: The Penn Station Plan is a Job Well Done. It’s Time We Acknowledge That

"The one thing that unites all New Yorkers is our collective disdain for the derelict old Penn Station. That’s why it makes no sense why some would come out against a plan to actually make it and the surrounding district better."
Opinion: How E-bikes Can Help NYC Reach its Climate Goals

"To get the most out of its vital investments in protected bike lanes, the city should pull every lever at its disposal to increase access to personal and shared e-bikes."
NY Air Quality is Improving, But City’s Emissions Goals Are Still Far Off

By 2050, the city’s annual greenhouse gas emissions should be no higher than 12 million metric tons of carbon dioxide—in 2020, buildings alone accounted for 34 million metric tons. “It kind of paints a very stark picture of how much work we have to do and how it can't just be business as usual."

City Limits uses investigative journalism through the prism of New York City to identify urban problems, examine their causes, explore solutions, and equip communities to take action.

Founded in 1976 in the midst of New York’s fiscal crisis, City Limits exists to inform democracy and equip citizens to create a more just city. The organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit funded by foundation support, ad sponsorship and donations from readers.
