New York City has established a new Office of Curb Management to modernize street policies and centralize planning for its 6,300 miles of streets, accommodating diverse uses from parking to outdoor dining and waste collection.

There are multiple stories to tell about my #InlineSkating session Monday night, including a 911 call. But can I just say it was a blast doing some circuits back and forth on the newly resurfaced block of 42nd St btw Sixth Ave and Seventh Ave? Only possible because #NYCDOT or their contractors had closed off 42nd east of Sixth for more resurfacing.
Yes, things are terrible right now. Minor stuff like this and and bigger stuff like watching the Artemis II feed keep me from sinking into despair

Two days this week, a utility project was blocking a significant #bikenyc lane in #MidtownManhattan, without any temporary protected lane in place as required by law. The second day I saw this, I reported it.
Just received notice from #NYCDOT: "A notice of violation (NOV) was issued for not having diversions formulating a temporary bike pathway... as dictated in the permit stipulations for this construction”
For years, word always was that #NYCDOT would wait about three weeks after laying down street asphalt before striping the lanes because the asphalt had to "cure".
So they just resurfaced W106 St, the last couple of blocks getting paved Monday night. Lane striping on those blocks started on Friday night. Still waiting bikelane markings and some other stuff, but they did at least half of the work
Four days is the new three weeks?
