"Most important, we focused on how the Queens Assemblyman is promising to take on the bureaucracy at DOT and challenge his own supporters to get on the street safety train. After Mamdani vowed to bring his own anti-safety endorsers into line, Colon reached out to Rep. Adriano Espaillat, a longtime foe of busways, and suddenly the Congressman professed his support for better buses on Fordham Road."
"Brian Lehrer did a segment on e-bikes and everyone agreed (as we all do) that there are regulations that need to be enforced and that no one should be riding a bike that goes more than 25 miles per hour because it's illegal. (WNYC) Remember that story we did last week about Hoboken's effort to clear illegal parking from its main shopping strip? Well, it's working. (Hudson County View)"
Reporters rode the bus with future mayor Zohran Mamdani as he pledged to ride transit and use a bike when he takes office. Coverage from Daily News, The Times, and amNY included photos showing Dave Colon. Mamdani pledged to confront DOT bureaucracy and press his supporters to back street safety measures. After he promised to discipline anti-safety endorsers, Rep. Adriano Espaillat shifted from opposing busways to supporting better buses on Fordham Road. Additional items include Pat Kiernan highlighting mayoral control of the subway, coverage of cool pavement and illegal parking, consensus on enforcing e-bike rules and Hoboken's successful parking enforcement.
