@NYCCouncil @SpeakerMenin @HarveyforNY @CMShahanaHanif @CMMercedesCD46 @CMJustinSanchez let’s keep our streets and public spaces clean!!! 💫

New Yorkers shouldn’t have to dodge 🐶 💩 on their own block.
The Council has introduced the SCOOP Act to expand resources to keep our neighborhoods 🐶 💩 free.
But we can’t do this alone. Join the new NYC Scoop Patrol, where you can post yourself helping clean your community and tag @nycscooppatrol.

"Bike boulevards calm our streets, protect pedestrians and cyclists and make clear that public spaces belong to people, not just cars. This next phase of improvements will help knit Astoria and Woodside together with safer, greener and more accessible streets for New Yorkers.”

DOT officials announced on Wednesday that the 31st Avenue bike boulevard will be extended beyond Steinway Street all the way to Woodside's 51st Street. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/05/13/mam…

Public art installations improve how we experience public spaces!!
"The organization and its collaborators hope the sculpture inspires people to envision Fourth Avenue as an exciting destination and creative neighborhood, not just a high-volume traffic thoroughfare."
Brooklyn Paper@brooklynpaper
A kinetic burst of color now spins in place on the median of Fourth Avenue and Second Street, where a new public art installation is reshaping a familiar stretch of road bordering Park Slope and Gowanus. brooklynpaper.com/hurly-whirly-k…

At a bare minimum, streets around public schools should be car free and safe.

Zohran Mamdani has turned blocks in front of 50 NYC public schools into car-free ‘Soccer Streets’ where children can play in celebration of the upcoming World Cup.

“The Department of Transportation’s bike boulevard designs maintain local car access, but dramatically reduce non-local drivers by diverting roadways to prevent cut-through traffic — creating a calmer, safer experience for two-wheelers.” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Mayor Mamdani will extend the 31st Avenue bike boulevard in his old Astoria neighborhood beyond Steinway Street all the way to 51st Street in Woodside. And that means the neighborhood will get a "circular traffic diverter." nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/05/13/mam…

Check out this great new app created by @BrooklynCB6’s @racioppomike! It’s never been easier to find your local community board, access useful data, get connected with your officials, and understand how community boards work. (Or learn about the Gowanus Rezoning!) Check it out! bkcb6.app

It's not only during the World Cup that kids can have open streets! The @NYC_DOT School Streets program lets schools reclaim the street in front of or adjacent to their building all year long… often used for recess, pickup and drop-off, block parties, and other community events!
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
New York streets belong to New Yorkers, and Soccer Streets are for the kids. We’re turning the block outside your school into a car-free soccer pitch, playground, and World Cup celebration all at once. Now until June 26, you’ll find Soccer Streets in front of 50 public schools across all five boroughs. Let’s play!

If you are like me, and also really excited to (finally!) start talking low-traffic neighborhoods in Western Queens, come to the event @31stAveOS is co-hosting with @OpenPlans next Monday! openplans.org/events/nerd-ni…

we are SO excited!! ...and these streets should be open for children, families, and neighbors beyond the World Cup, year round just like Paris...
NYC DOT@NYC_DOT
⚽️Game on, NYC! Our new Soccer Streets program will feature soccer-themed programming on Open Streets near 50 schools. Students will enjoy playing soccer, arts activities, and more on car-free streets. Learn more about Soccer Streets and Open Streets: nyc.gov/OpenStreets

Super speeders must be held accountable for making our streets unsafe and chaotic… Reckless drivers will finally be slowed down and many lives will be saved! This bill is a great example of what putting people over cars looks like! empire.streetsblog.org/stop-super-spe…

20,000 pedestrians pass through just one intersection on W. Houston St. every day yet they just get 1/5 of the street's space. The street's design hasn't caught up. @HudsonSquareNYC is calling for a complete street — and they've already done the homework. nydailynews.com/2026/05/04/red…

It's great to see these corridors improved, and I hope the Mayor will pursue neighborhood-scale projects, such as low-traffic neighborhoods, to ensure entire neighborhoods are safe for everyone like this @Streetfilms

Exclu: Mayor Mamdani is set to announce this morning plans to turn Brooklyns Bergen and Dean Streets, two heavily used bike corridors that currently have painted lanes, into bike boulevards. amny.com/news/exclusive…

Every single bridge and tunnel in NYC should have bus lanes during commuting hours. The Lincoln Tunnel bus lane is open from 6–9 AM and carries 10 times the number of people in the three other car lanes.
Streetsblog New York City@StreetsblogNYC
"Bus riders need more than just a bus plan or map of improvements along specific corridors," writes @DannyInTransit. "We need an entire Streets Plan ... where buses are genuinely fast and where riders save lots of valuable time." nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/05/01/opi…
