Running out of daylight: Advocates fume over Speaker Adams not holding vote on universal ‘daylighting’ street safety bill before year’s end

Outgoing City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams will not bring a measure to implement universal "daylighting," which would eliminate parking near intersections

Our shitty Council could've saved some time by pursuing legal action against #OfficerAdams year ago for the many pieces of legislation that he's disobeyed. Like the Street Master Plan, for example.

#FuckEricAdams & #NYCCouncil too

We're out getting k-dogs in Korea town , and the 12yo says "oh there's seating over..
Hey where did it go?"

Fucking #NYCCouncil and their banning of #OutdoorSeating is going to be felt especially hard as the weather warms up and people realize what we've lost. #NYC

Sure, our Mayor may have gone full MAGA, but at least we have city council here to protect NYers. 🥴

'Progressives' Turn Council's Transportation Policy Over to Republicans - Streetsblog New York City

Roadway safety is simply not a priority, a Streetsblog analysis reveals. Meanwhile, 142 people are injured every day on our streets.

The Adams' Administration (both of them - Eric and Adrienne) streets in a nutshell: a motorcycle driver illegally driving in a "protected" bike lane, yelling at a driver who has illegally parked in a "protected" bike lane to get out of the bike lane. #BikeNYC #QueensBlvdPBL

But I'm sure ebike license plates will fix this, #NYCCouncil .

Still incredibly amused that a pro-cop councilmember bit a cop. #NYC #NYCCouncil

The awful part is the person in background looks like they may need help, but people in need have to wait for real civil servants for that kind of help.

#nycmayor Eric Adams keeps spending taxpayer 💰💰 not budgeted by #NYCCouncil to almost $1 billion OT this fiscal year with almost 6 months left in the year without any impact in crime or services.
