Curbside Restaurant Week is here! And Sara Lind 🖤 spoke on WNYC 🎙 about what we want city leaders to know: NYers love outdoor dining, it gives public space back to people, and the lack of a year-round option limits restaurant participation due to high costs. wnyc.org/story/nyc-is-l…

44 states have universal daylighting laws – INCLUDING New York. NYC has simply been allowed to opt out of the law, despite the intervention being a best practice in street safety. It's time for that to change. Pass Intro 1138 to protect our kids and all who use our streets.

You still have time for discounts & special treats! Join participating restaurants & cafes to support year-round outdoor dining! "It's a Restaurant Week glow-up, curbside edition. Grab a seat outside—you'll never look at a parking spot the same way again." timeout.com/newyork/news/n…

Big THANK YOU to Antonio Reynoso for championing this life-saving measure! As kids head back to school, universal daylighting at every intersection is crucial for their safety. Also thank you for urging Adrienne Adams to bring Intro 1138 to a vote and secure a veto-proof majority.

Children are back in school and they shouldn’t have to cross dangerous intersections just to get to class. New York City Council must act now to keep them safe. Pass Int. 1138 for universal daylighting and safer streets for every child. 🚸 #BackToSchool #SafeStreets

Trash containerization is one of the best uses of curb space that benefits everyone! We are so excited to see this in Downtown Brooklyn, and we hope to see more across the city. Cleaner, more spacious sidewalks = happier, more livable streets!

Cities create beautiful public spaces but then... neglect them. "It's time to stop just creating public spaces. It's time to manage them, too." Read our latest op-ed on why we need holistic local management for vibrant, joyful, & equitable public spaces. nextcity.org/urbanist-news/…

"There is nowhere in our borough–or anywhere across the city–where drivers or pedestrians are safer when their vision is blocked." Daylighting opens up visibility & makes intersections safer, Staten Island needs this too! Kashif Hussain Jumaane Williams (@jumaane.bsky.social) bit.ly/4nkbtc2
