#NY Congressman in #NYC 13 is #AdrianoEspaillat
Apparently, he is anti- #PublicTransit (the car diet, #bike friendly plan) in #TheBronx along #FordhamRoad , which is called 207 Street in #Inwood #Manhattan (And thus #Espaillat is against #ClimateChange solutions … namely, reducing car dependency of the wealthy who transit through #EnvironmentalJustice communities.)
Monumental fail.
I’ll be on the phone tomorrow:

"85,000 daily (bus) riders on Fordham Road"
At some the points the buses averaged the speed of a "brisk walk."
The Inwood section goes under 4 mph. You can walk faster than that. I only use the bus through this section because the walk is so unpleasant with the highway crossing and all the construction.
Speaking of construction — that slowest section in Inwood has them putting up the densest housing as part of the rezoning. There is no more private car capacity on 207/Fordham. We desperately need change.
