As Waymos gain traction, cities will reduce on-street parking and travel lanes.
Cities will build more sidewalks, bus lanes, and bike lanes.
People will walk more.
Both Waymos AND walking infrastructure will simultaneously fuel the reduction of surface level car travel lanes.

There will be two stages to road transformation. In the first stage, all vehicles will become electric and autonomous. This will reduce accidents, noise, and pollution. We are already starting this transition, and it will be complete by 2035. In the second stage, tunnels will be built to allow autonomous electric traffic to operate underground. This will further improve safety, eliminate noise, decrease travel times, and free the surface for other uses. The construction of these tunnels will be enabled by the low-cost labor of humanoid robots and automated construction equipment. Construction of tunnels will begin in a few years, with significant progress by 2035. Surface streets will become areas for sitting and dining outdoors, with trees, gardens, fountains, and pools to fit our new leisure lifestyle.

@the_UrbanWolf Park Ave crossing is not a long distance. It full of high paying jobs tech sector. Mayor Mamdani wants to turn it into a dump and force Ken griffin and chase ceo Jaime Dimon out of NYC. Mayor Mamdani plan this since griffin owns a $238 million home and he about to build

I love median pedestrian walkways!
Drivers expect pedestrians, so crossing streets isn't stressful.
You can actually go a few miles and have a relaxing jogging trip!
Hayden@the_transit_guy
Park Avenue used to have a park in the median of it, hence it's name. It's time to bring that back.
English
@ShabazzStuart It’s a building with workers,techs not pleasure it the people would quit their high paying salary they could go to Central Park. Mayor Mamdani don’t want workers he wants to turn NYC into poor neighborhoods. Mayor will give residents welfare and a loaf bread. Park Ave is not it
English
Don't know how anyone could be against this. Would increase quality of life for hundreds of thousands that work in Midtown.
Mark D. Levine@MarkLevineNYC
Park Ave. got its name because a century ago it had a literal park in the median. Now, at last, the park is coming back (from E.46th to E.57th). With reduction of two lanes of traffic, there will be wider sidewalks, an urban forrest in the median, benches, space for cultural programming, potentially a bike lane etc. There are two final designs and you can vote on which you prefer. Take the survey here: surveymonkey.com/r/parkavenuevi…

@OpenPlans Park will also be Open to homeless drug addicts criminals Sex offenders and will be using the flowers to defecate and urinate. On Penn station 33st benches and tables were occupied by homeless druggies and crazies. Mgt took out the benches and put rocks to clear the homeless.
English
@cgaunerd DOT is trying to make it a park to punish Ken Griffin from building his project. Mayor Mamdani plan is to force drivers with gridlocks by taking 2 lanes. Next phase is to have homeless move in and defecate and urinate and do drugs. Scamming Mayor Mamdani 100 days of bike lanes
English
This is one of those changes that everyone will hate until it is made and then we will say "why wasn't it always like this"*
* also I hope there are loading zones.
NYC DOT@NYC_DOT
What if Park Avenue felt more like a park? New renderings showcase options to transform E 46 St to E 57 St with wider medians, greenery, seating, pedestrian enhancements, and more. Get involved and help shape the future at a public workshop. ⬇️
English
@tonyannett Homeless people crazies, criminals will takeover the park and urinate and defecate in front of residents and tourists. Who will benefit ? Mayor Mamdani will have his revenge on Ken griffin.
English
A good first step. Now fully pedestrianize Times Square and Fifth Avenue from 42nd to 59th St. The city belongs to pedestrians, not vehicular traffic.

@NBCNewYork What about vehicles traffic will it be faster or gridlock? Vehicles on one lane will suffer the most standstill, Brooklyn Nets Owner Joe Tsai should stop hosting Mayor Mamdani when fans will be late and the Nets lose? Tsai should leave Brooklyn and go to Long Island
English
Buses will soon get a bit faster in Brooklyn, as work is underway on Flatbush Avenue to speed up the dreadfully slow service for riders there

@bradhoylman @NYC_DOT @MTA The plan to take 2 traffic lanes on park Ave is to punish Ken Griffin and CEO Jaime Dimon. Mayor Mamdani plan this to hurt griffin From building his project. The Mayor wants homeless and drug addicts and crazies to takeover the park and scared residents to move out. Nice try!
English
@NYCMayor City workers FDNY, Ambulance drivers, Sanitation drivers, MTA bus Yellow , DOT school bus drivers have been hitting and killing pedestrians fail to yield. They haven’t been arrested why? Mamdani have to target reckless bike riders and scooters also hitting pedestrians and killing

There is nothing more important than keeping New Yorkers safe, and reining in super speeders will save lives.
I am proud to support efforts in Albany to enable new tools like Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) in our fight for safe streets.
NYC DOT@NYC_DOT
“A small but reckless group of recidivist speeders poses a grave threat to the health and safety of everyone. That is why we, and Mayor Mamdani, support Intelligent Speed Assistance to rein in super speeders and save lives.” Commissioner Flynn’s op-ed: nydailynews.com/2026/04/25/alb…
English
@JohnSurico @nytimes The park added now and of all places is to punish CEO Ken Griffin and Jaime Dimon. The Mayor Mamdani and DOT Comm Mike Flynn won’t fix potholes or replace crumbling roads but will add bike lanes and bus lanes. President Trump trump needs cut waste bike lanes.
English
Really big news. I remember first reporting on this for the @nytimes years ago, and the archival photos showed what once was: huge pedestrian promenades and an actual park, fitting for... you know... Park Ave. nytimes.com/2026/04/29/nyr…
English
@ABC7NY It’s vindictive move to punish CEO Ken griffin from building his project and creating jobs. Mayor Mamdani and the planner Comm Zmike Flynn wants a park so people don’t have to work and go dog walking hurt the residents who is stuck in traffic. Homeless will move in and take over
English
Mamdani plans to put the park back in Park Avenue with proposed redesign concepts 7ny.tv/FjhWt3
English
@nypost DOT Comm Mike Flynn and Mayor Mamdani is punishing Ken Griffin Jaime Dimon CEOs who work and live on Park Ave. They scheme to take 2 traffic lanes out and that will reduce to 1 traffic lane so gridlocks and snarl traffic so Jaime Dimon will be frustrated and be late. Nice scheme

@the_transit_guy What is important about Park Ave? Buildings. Lol nothing to see. Homeless will move in drug addicts, criminals will all sightsee victims to rob or steal and sleep inside park Ave. In Penn station seats and table were put in but homeless moved in now seats and tables gone
English
@NYCMayor @ElizabAdams It’s the fast bus czar not the word free because MTA won’t listen. Trying to remove 2 car lanes to punish Rich people like Ken Griffin and Jaime Dimon because they work and live on park Ave. Extending Paarl Ave and nothing to see big buildings. Homeless will move in Park Ave
English
New York City grinds to a halt without reliable, accessible transportation — and without a City Hall that puts trusted transit advocates in the drivers' seat.
I'm proud to appoint @ElizabAdams as New York City's first "Fast and Free Bus Czar", where she will steer our efforts to deliver buses worthy of our 1M+ daily riders.
Streetsblog New York City@StreetsblogNYC
The Mamdani administration has tapped a former top executive at Transportation Alternatives to spearhead the mayor’s effort to speed up the slowest buses in the nation and, eventually, make them free of fares. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/27/mam…
English
@DanielDiMartino @VickieforNYC Mayor Mamdani want to continue to spend money and then say there is a budget deficit $5.6 billion. He doesn’t want to hear Speaker Menin that she found savings in waste fraud and abuse but Mamdani still want taxes. Can’t have it both ways?
English
Yes you can cut spending.
For example, NYC public schools are educating 10% fewer students now than 10 years ago... but they employ 5% more staff (6,000 employees).
To go back to 2015 levels of DOE employment Mamdani could fire some 13,000 public workers.
Breitbart News@BreitbartNews
WARMTH OF COLLECTIVISM UPDATE: Mayor Zohran Mamdani declares a "budget crisis," asks for a bailout from the state government, and pushes back his deadline for completing the city budget at least 10 days: "We cannot close this deficit with savings alone. We need new revenue, and we need a structural reset in our relationship with the state. That is the only way to meet our legal obligation to pass a balanced budget."
English
@bradhoylman @NYC_SafeStreets @TransAlt Democrats violating civil rights by putting a breathalyzer inside the car and setting speed limits on how far the car can drive is an overreach and unconstitutional. If GOP did it Democrats would be sounding the alarm. Let the US citizens decide setting up an intrusive systems
English
It’s long past time to get New York’s Super Speeders under control.
Pass the damn bill. @NYC_SafeStreets @TransAlt
English
@NYC_DOT The workshop is rigged with transalt and a few outsiders who want to see tall buildings nothing interesting future homeless, criminals, crazies takeover. Mamdani is at war with the rich so he will destroy their traffic lane. Comm Mike Flynn where does he get the money to do this?
English
@NYC_DOT DOT should know there are no sightseeing on Park Ave. Thanks for taking traffic lanes to hurt Ken griffin, Jaime Dimon CEO chase delay their meetings because DOT wants to frustrate bosses. Phase 2 is allow homeless drug addicts criminals to use the park as a shelter. Mike Flynn
English
@LeVeauNY @NYC_DOT @bfurnas This plan is intentional to stop Ken griffin , Jaime Dimon chase so that taking out 2 lanes could slow traffic and cause gridlock. Mayor Mamdani knows this and gets DOT to approve this proposal. The homeless drug addicts will takeover. THERE IS NO SIGHTSEEING IN PARK AVE
English
@NYKnickAnthony @NYC_DOT The redesigned plan is intentionally to hurt Ken Griffin and the business to stop traffic. Mayor Mamdani claims of a budget crisis but have all money for DOT to destroy streets so the residents. It’s revenge using DOT. The park will attract homeless crazies drug addicts criminals
