Rob BellingerAn excellent piece from #StreetsblogNYC listing the errors in the #bikenyc network Mamadani needs to fix -- at least, the errors deliberately installed by Adams

#StreetsblogNYC just published a piece on a new class action lawsuit in federal court against the #NYPD, for its well-documented practice of ticketing cyclists who follow the leading pedestrian interval or #LPI.
#NYC cyclists have been instructed BY LAW to do this since 2019, but cops continue ticketing #bikenyc — and now summonsing them to criminal court — for this LEGAL and SAFE behvaior.
The attorney is seeking additional plaintiffs to join the case.

#StreetsblogNYC is actively seeking #bikenyc who have been summonsed to criminal court. They have made flyers in multiple languages but right now they are only on IG (sorry)

Congestion Clown Car!
Disorder in the Court: U.S. DOT Lawyers Upload Memo Admitting Their Congestion Pricing Case is Weak
Attorneys for the Federal Highway Administration, seemingly by mistake, uploaded an internal legal strategy memo into the record of the MTA's lawsuit against U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy over his illegal order to end congestion pricing — and the memo discussed how difficult it will be for Duffy to win.
Instead of filing documents that were expected to be part of Duffy's defense for withdrawing approval for congestion pricing, lawyers instead uploaded an email sent on April 11 from Assistant U.S. Attorneys Dominika Tarczynska, David Farber and Christine Poscablo discussing the weaknesses in the federal case and charting a different, but no more guaranteed way, to end the toll.

"In the one year since the agency added a protected bike lane to Third Avenue in Manhattan, total injuries have dropped by 33 percent — and injuries to drivers and other car occupants have dropped by 43 percent."
@streetsblogmass Thanks for posting this information. I'm glad we can get #congestionpricing updates from the Mass branch, as #StreetsblogNYC still doesn't seem interested in the Fediverse 🙃 .
Footage via #StreetsblogNYC of a law-abiding citizen being killed by a red light runner. This is why we fight for safer streets.

I spent 48 hours in Manhattan this week. As a pedestrian, I was hit once accidentally by a delivery cyclist on the sidewalk, and once on purpose by a driver who insisted that I get out of the crosswalk so he could complete an illegal maneuver.
Some real zingers in this piece on #Houston
"Here’s the key: state and federal governments will pay cities all day and every day to make bad financial decisions and transactions that are not in the broad financial interest of their own residents. They have lots of programs to do this, highway expansions being just one of them."
Also....I guess the #StrongTowns people, like the #StreetsblogNYC people, are still waiting for last call at the N*zi bar.
