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.’
The Bronx Gets Short-Changed in NYC’s ‘Open Streets’ Program: Report

The Bronx is home to the fewest miles of Open Streets, and only 16 percent of those that are included in the city initiative are considered operational—or barricaded off to prevent cars—a new survey from Transportation Alternatives Found.
NYC to Craft Multiagency Plan for Adapting to Climate Change

The Council passed a flurry of environmental bills Thursday, including measures to create a citywide climate adaptation plan, an all-electric school bus fleet and an office of urban agriculture.
Opinion: City and State Leaders Fail to Protect New Yorkers from Auto Violence

‘The loss of an innocent baby as well as five other individuals in just one weekend is more heartbreaking evidence that New York City’s lame efforts to protect its people from arrogant, irresponsible, and entitled automobile drivers has been an epic failure.’
Gov. Hochul Signs Bill Restricting NY Car Sales to Zero-Emission Vehicles After 2035

After the city suffered deadly flooding from the remnants of Hurricane Ida, Gov. Kathy Hochul promises a new era, signs off on climate legislation and launches climate justice fellowship.
