"Some 100,000 people took to the streets of New York City for Saturday's "No Kings" protest of President Trump repeatedly flaunting the Constitution to enact his agenda. Demonstrators included our very own Editor-in-Chief Gersh Kuntzman, who brought along a homemade sign defending the president's latest target, the 34th Street busway. Kuntzman didn't get many comments on his janky sign, but Streetfilms' Clarence Eckerson (photo above) got plenty of kudos for his."
"Which raises the question: Why are Mayor Adams and his team taking seriously the Federal Highway Administration's whiny order to pause the 34th Street busway? Administrator Sean McMaster claims to want to know how the busway will impact truck traffic, but he has smart (enough) people working for him to figure out that getting rid of cars on a street helps speed up trucks as well as buses."
About 100,000 people marched in New York City under the 'No Kings' banner opposing President Trump's use of federal power over local policy. Demonstrators included Gersh Kuntzman with a homemade sign defending the 34th Street busway. The president declared congestion pricing 'dead' and wrote 'LONG LIVE THE KING,' yet congestion pricing remains alive and his bid to stop it has faltered. A federal judge ordered $34 million in transit security funds allocated based on security needs after the president tried to withhold them. The Federal Highway Administration ordered a pause on the busway to study truck impacts despite evidence that removing cars can speed buses and trucks.
