"For a year that started with the long-sought launch of congestion pricing on Jan. 5 followed a few months later by the long-awaited opening of the Queensboro Bridge pedestrian path, thing sure did turn sour: Mayor Adams ripped up three blocks of the Bedford Avenue protected bike lane, imposed an unenforceable 15-mph speed limit on e-bikes and had the NYPD crack down on cyclists."
A fundraising appeal requests tax-deductible donations to support reporting that advances ending car dependency and promoting livable streets. The year 2025 saw both progress and setbacks for street-safety efforts. Early wins included the launch of congestion pricing and the opening of the Queensboro Bridge pedestrian path. Significant setbacks included removal of Bedford Avenue protected bike lane segments, a 15-mph e-bike speed limit described as unenforceable, NYPD crackdowns on cyclists, and a judge ordering removal of a protected bike lane on 31st Street. Activists remained active and were nominated for an Activist of the Year recognition.
