It's kind of wild how driving the speed limit feels like an act of resistance against car culture

Today's Headlines: Super Bowl Tuesday Edition - Streetsblog New York City We've been talking about it for weeks, but today is the Big Game. Plus other news.

Will the Mamdani administration really build streets "that are the envy of the world" or will it continue the Adams administration’s failure to meet the mandates of the Streets Master Plan?

We’re set to find out, starting at 10 a.m. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/03/03/t...

This will save the lives of so many kids. However, NYU Langone should never be allowed to forget what they did.

Cycling infrastructure saves lives #fdny #firefighter #bikelane #bike #nyc #newyorkcity YouTube video by Streetsblog NYC

If FDNY keeps New Yorkers alive ... and protected bike lanes also keep New Yorkers safe... then shouldn't they support the evidence-backed, lifesaving infrastructure? youtube.com/shorts/0FMCf...

<picture of Amber Glenn with a quote: I'm on my period right now, so it's always really heard, especially when you're wearing something like this and have to perform in front of the world. That's hard and people don't talk about it.>

Oh is Will Stancil not exactly what you wanted? Did he find leftism the wrong way? Does he make it too about him? Does he not know how to calibrate to the right level of danger? I heard a story about a man like that once. But it was a long time ago. You wouldn’t have heard it. In 1902, Father built

not to start this discourse again but if the goal is to be influential β€” rather than just post β€” then you need to grab a mic and turn on your front facing camera

Tapping the sign. If you *actually* cared about safer streets you'd take the full picture into account.

Real talk: Is this a thing we can collectively lobby? Friend's fiance died at **35** from colon cancer with no family history. Insurers are killing people for sport and profit.

Caught my breast cancer at 36 because I started mammograms at 30. The recommended screening ages are a joke all around.
