Love me a repaving because you get to see Brooklyn, but without the cars. It’s a fleeting glimpse into what these streets were when these buildings were built.

The Queens Blvd redesign is complete, including the longest protected bike lane in NYC (14 miles total, 7 in each direction) Since it began in 2015, this redesign has cut traffic deaths by 68%. We will continue with capital improvements on Queens Blvd in 2025.

Oakland, California has a stunningly beautiful site, ideal weather even by California standards, and the hub of the regional rapid transit network. Why don't three times as many people live here? Why not Vancouver-style towers at every station?

The disgusting lunacy of salivating over the prospects of mass round ups and thinking it will be somehow economically beneficial

I deal with government everyday. It’s not efficient and can be maddening. But in 20+ years of doing this, creating a *new form* of governance led by 2 ideologues with no gov experience is ridiculous. This is a self-serve deal with startup costs that negate any supposed benefit.

Despite the many silly comments, parks in NYC and all across the region are burning not because of arson or homeless people but because it hasn’t rained in the region in 10 weeks! We are in the midst of a severe drought and the woodlands are full of dead leaves and branches.

3 million people were expected to participate in last night’s annual Ciclovía Nocturna, which offered 95 kilometers (59 miles) of car-free streets! #Ciclovía50Años

Logging back on here for the first time in months to wish the best for Steven Fulop tonight! We’ve worked in partnership with his administration since 2016 and I know he would be a great, forward-thinking and action-oriented governor for New Jersey.
