UP-STAND

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.

Great to celebrate improvements to the 31st Avenue Open Street with the fellow elected officials, advocates, and volunteers who made it happen at today's @31stAveOS block party!

@BobaCyclist @nwilliams030 @nwilliams030, would love for you to get involved with this work! Send me a message if you’d like and we can talk more.

@nwilliams030 @UPSTANDMovement works on making transit more accessible for families of small children

Respectfully, what am I supposed to do when the literal only path for me to get me + an infant/toddler from below ground on the subway to above ground is an elevator that a crazy person is clearly posted up in and not leaving?

Thank you for listening to us and advocating for us as your constituents, @ZohranKMamdani @SenGonzalezNY! @NYCSchools

Hochul's congestion pricing pause has paused crucial subway upgrades including elevators & accessibility at 23 stations. We're canvassing these stations to talk to riders about what we've lost (& how to fight back!). Join us Sun. 9/8, 10:30am-noon. RSVP: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Back when @UPSTANDMovement was founded, MTA told me to “get in line” when I advocated for family fares as a necessary discount. Now, a huge step forward by @MTA toward making NYC more affordable and livable for families with school-age children. 24/7, 365!

@JohnSurico @NYC_DOT Also wrote in about this intersection…

Big yikes @NYC_DOT. If this is what qualifies as daylighting in New York City, then that goal of 1,000 intersections by the end of the year is a farce.
