NYC promised secure bike parking. Over a year later, we’re still waiting — the city put out an RFP to install 500 secure bike parking spots last year, but still hasn’t selected a vendor or set a timeline.

Great news today from NYC DOT — streets are safer in NYC so far in 2025. That's partly due to #CongestionPricing! Safer streets, funded transit, better climate. All wins in our book. nytimes.com/2025/07/02/nyr…

What's the best biking city in the U.S.? Drumroll please... And the winner is: Brooklyn! We've made great strides improving and expanding the bike network. But we've got more work to do in order for NYC to become a truly world-class bicycling city. peopleforbikes.org/news/america-h…

#TBT Urban trees remove up to 7 million tons of air pollutants each year in the U.S., helping prevent asthma and lung problems—especially in children and older adults (Nowak et al., 2014). That’s a breath of fresh air! #bikenyc #walknyc

A big day for the Greenway in New Jersey! Gov. Murphy joined officials and our team in Newark to break ground on a 9-mile trail that will become NJ’s newest state park — and a transformative piece of the East Coast Greenway. šŸ”—: greenway.org/stories/east-c…

#TBT to when subways turned into rivers. šŸŒŠšŸš‡ via amNewYorkā„¢ NYC needs more green infrastructure now. Greenways aren’t just for biking—they absorb stormwater, reduce flooding & protect our communities. Let’s build a climate-ready city. #StormResilience #BrooklynGreenway

New Yorkers outrank most of the US in using active transportation to get around. When you build dense, walkable cities, you give its residents so many choices in how to get around! h/t Gothamist StreetLight gothamist.com/news/were-walk…

Our Interns are on track to become #CitizenPruners! Last week, they studied #treeID and created their own custom #tree id guidebook. They also visited @brooklynbotanic to meet an Arborist and learn about #urbanforestry careers. Plus, they’re caring for street trees in Bed-Stuy!
