Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

@rafaelshimunov And he’s using the NYPD metro card…is it his? Did he “borrow” it from his detail?

Lololol he made a whole Zohran bootleg video and by the time it gets to the solution part, he says I can’t really do anything it’s a state issue. Lolololol

@NYCBikeLanes This is 100% true. A few months back, I heard my precinct was doing a special operation on ghost cars. Gave them exact locations where they could easily find 15+ vehicles but they said “no thanks, the car has to be moving”. 🤷‍♀️

The police will happily engage in dangerous high speed pursuits with ghost car drivers, but if the get a 311 job for a parked ghost car, they'll just fraudulently close it out. nypost.com/2023/07/10/nyp…

It goes on for several blocks. And I only narrowly missed being hit by a bus “getting in line” because I saw him coming and jumped onto the sidewalk. Bonus + contributing factor: the ever present illegally parked cars in the turn lane with @FDNY placards.

This hott mess is considered a “protected bike lane” by @NYC_DOT & the rude staff at Manhattan Star Academy claims that @NYPD20Pct instructed them to do this (+ put a French barricade in the middle of the @NYCBikeLanes. @StreetsblogNYC @StreetsPAC @NYC_SafeStreets

What the NYC subway map should look like…

I feel like we get more @nycoem briefings for snow storms with no snow

@jmp_nyc @justinginsburgh Doubtful. None of the cops in my precinct (including the head of the traffic team) knew this was illegal.

@justinginsburgh Does NYPD even issue a citation for the illegal over length vehicle when it gets stuck like that?

@justinginsburgh Enforce existing laws.

@SilverFoxReturn @jehiah @ebottcher @Chekpeds I tried.

@jehiah @ebottcher @Chekpeds I think that's a great place to drag a few corner trash cans to.

Count the number of vehicles driving in the 11th Ave bike lane. Cc @ebottcher @Chekpeds

@jehiah @ebottcher @Chekpeds Every. Damn. Day. I even tried dragging the litter bin to the median (before they installed the concrete ones) and it only slightly slowed them down but created more chaos. If only we had a massive agency dedicated to enforcement 🤔

@NYPDTraining @NYPD26Pct @NYPDnews @NYPDPC @NYPDChiefOfDept @NYPDFIRSTDEP I’ll miss having you in the neighborhood but wish you the best of of luck Chief Obe!

I am thrilled to serve as the new NYPD Chief of training. I understand the responsibility, and I am committed to working tirelessly to ensure that our officers have the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to serve our community with distinction and honor.

@saraklind @UrbanismNext It’s almost like the people in charge of enforcement have zero appetite to enforce. 🤦‍♀️

At the @UrbanismNext conference I asked a DOT official from Portland how they could pilot a project near government buildings - don’t govt officials park illegally everywhere? His answer: No. Apparently other cities don’t have massive amounts of government parking corruption

@EmFriedenberg Was thinking along these lines when I recently spent $30 for a round trip bus to watch my niece play lacrosse in NJ And I had to pay $5,50 r/t to get to & from the bus.

Congestion pricing is asking drivers to pay the $5.50 round-trip that everyone else pays to ride in on the subway (which doesn't pollute, park, or kill anyone)

@nyc_velo @nytimes @CentralParkNYC @mancb10 @CouncilwomanKrj @TransAlt @TransAltBX_Up @KathyParkPrice @MarkLevineNYC @DianaAyalaNYC @althea4theBX @HarlemRiverWG @ShawnGarcia_NYC @SwiftySanders @Reasmus2 Good luck! Manhattan CB9 loves their parking and driving lanes far too much. It’s infuriating. nyc.streetsblog.org/2019/10/22/man… @StreetsblogNYC @MarkLevineNYC @ShaunAbreu

Interesting read by the @nytimes: "American Road Deaths Show an Alarming #Racial Gap"➡️bit.ly/3Ax4Tsg There is a self-evident need for a #CentralHarlemBikeway providing a safe connection from the #Bronx to @CentralParkNYC. CC: @mancb10 & @CouncilwomanKrj.

I’m just thankful that @Twitter is so concerned about the health and functionality of my zippers.

@nyc_velo @SheratonTimesSQ @NYC_DOT @bikenewyork @bikelaneuprise @NYCBikeLanes @NYPDMTN @MBPMarkLevine @sheratonhotels @KeithPowersNYC @ManhattanCB5 I know it well and it’s horrible. 🤯

Hey @SheratonTimesSQ, recognize this👇🏽? Please keep it out of the #bike lane, & educate your staff. Had an altercation today with your staff as I was trying to clear the 🚲 lane. If the 🚲 lane is badly designed (I agree)), bring it to @NYC_DOT, don’t make up your own rules.

@NYPD26Pct 👍👍👍. Now let’s do drivers…

Warmer days are rolling in. The 26 Precinct Crime Prevention, Traffic Safety and Auxiliary Officers are spreading awareness for bicycle safety. Let’s share the road safely. Together we can save lives.

@jeffnovich Yes Larry’s! 🙌🙌🙌

Got it fixed up at Larry’s Freewheeling and basically gave up on trying to pop all over upper Manhattan to spot open streets. Stayed local and got the bike back and all is good. Next year!

Wow bad luck this Earth day morning. I made a whole list of NYC open streets to visit. Excited to embark, I forgot my cafe lock was engaged and pushed forward only to immediately stop and hear a “SSSSSSSSSssssssss…” …

@NYPDnews @NYPD26Pct Sector Adam 💪💪💪💪

𝕺𝖑𝖉 𝖍𝖆𝖇𝖎𝖙𝖘 𝖉𝖎𝖊 𝖍𝖆𝖗𝖉. A larceny recidivist was out on parole but "at it again"! These @NYPD26Pct officers tracked down the repeat offender after she ripped off ᴛʜʀᴇᴇ local stores in uptown Manhattan and attempted to get away in the subway.
