City Hall Pauses Upper West Side 'Smart Curb' Parking Reforms Amid Predictable Driver Backlash - Streetsblog New York City

DOT's nascent effort to convert 70 curbside spots on the Upper West Side from free to metered parking is on hold after drivers threw a fit.

Borough President Gale Brewer’s recent proposal for mandatory e-bike registration in New York has sparked controversy. While supporters argue it will enhance safety and reduce theft, critics worry it may limit access to eco-friendly transportation. As e-bikes grow in popularity, this initiative raises important questions about balancing safety and accessibility in urban mobility. What do you think—should e-bike registration be mandatory?

My kid’s #nyc high school went on lockdown for a couple hours this am because of a #gun threat. It turned out okay. Why do we have to live this way.

No communication from city or dept of ed. Or school.

Just terrified messages from my kid.

Kids were locked in their classrooms and hiding under desks for over an hour.

Thanks to council member #GaleBrewer ‘s staff who were able to figure out it was a student gun threat that turned out to be untrue.
