This Month

  • Sep 8, Grand St at Allen St: a driver in a 2008 Infiniti sedan made a U‑turn and hit a 28‑year‑old on a bike, who was ejected and injured. NYC Open Data

What leaders did — and didn’t

In Albany, Senator Brian Kavanagh voted yes in committee on the state’s speed‑limiter bill, S4045, aimed at repeat speeders. Open States Assembly Member Harvey Epstein co‑sponsors the matching bill, A2299. Open States Assembly Member Grace Lee voted yes to extend school speed zones under S8344. Open States

At City Hall, Council Member Christopher Marte backs Int 1138‑2024, to ban parking near crosswalks; Council Member Carlina Rivera does too. Daylighting saves lives when drivers turn. Streetsblog NYC

The fixes are on the table

  • Daylight crosswalks at Allen, Delancey, and other hot corners. Harden the turns. Post left‑turn signals where conflict is constant. NYC Open Data
  • Target nights. Focus enforcement and calming where the deaths pile up after dark. NYC Open Data
  • Pass the state speed‑limiter bills — S4045/A2299 — to rein in the worst repeat offenders. Open States Open States

Lower speeds. Fewer funerals. Call your reps. Tell them to pass the tools and use them. Start here.

Rivera Demands Timely Publication And Annual Greenways Updates

Aug 14 - City unveils Greater Greenways map. The gaps remain. No timelines. No money. Riders and walkers wait while paint is sold as 'greenways.' The release is eight months late. Midtown's showpiece still misses the East Side.

Plan: Greater Greenways master plan (no bill number). Status: released Aug. 14, 2025; agencies: DOT and Parks; committee: none. A 2022 law by Council Member Carlina Rivera requires publication and annual updates; this release arrived over eight months late. The plan is "intended to connect gaps across NYC's bike and pedestrian paths." It names early action corridors and uses $7.25 million in federal funds to write corridor plans by 2028. Construction timelines are missing. Parks Commissioner Iris Rodriguez-Rosa says it maps "strengths and weaknesses." The Midtown Greenway showcase still leaves the East Side gap. Safety impact: none yet. Without implementation details, funding, or accountability, conditions do not change. No system-wide gains for riders and walkers until real build-out.
