The final year of the Adams administration has largely been marked by a mayor who didn't care about livable streets policy or actively worked to roll back a decade's worth of Vision Zero work. But there were still some highlights this year: The city finally got congestion pricing, avoided a highway expansion in the South Bronx, and European-style trash containerization took off uptown. And that's not all!
We said it all day: The livable streets movement elected Zohran Mamdani. Sure, armies of Socialist volunteerchiks, immigrant aunties, renters, Bronxites and so many others filled his winning coalition (as this nice Times video shows), but don't neglect the role played by bus riders, bike riders and YIMBYs in getting the Queens Assembly member over the finish line in first.
The [Harlem-side] bike parking is placed in a counter-intuitive way. If you're arriving from Harlem, the natural inclination is to head toward the entrance, so there should be bike parking there.
