"There was also a sizable contingent of people at the rally in support of the proposed West 72nd Street bike lane, including Dan Schwartz, who stood silently at the outskirts of the rally with a homemade sign reading, 'Build the bike lane.'" westsiderag.com/2026/05/04/pro…

I spoke to one of the study authors and another researcher looking into emergency room data from micromobility crashes and they both said that licensing is not a solution but that better street design and more protected bike lanes are. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/24/tha…

E-bike injuries are surging and the consequences are severe. Nearly 1 in 3 victims suffer traumatic brain injury and over 50% need procedures. I am advancing Priscilla’s Law to require license plates and restore order on our streets. journals.lww.com/neurosurgery/f…

Everyone deserves safe streets!! Reckless driving puts lives at risk every day — that’s why we support the Stop Super Speeders bill. It holds repeat offenders accountable, not responsible drivers.
Governor Kathy Hochul@GovKathyHochul

If you’re speeding over and over again, it’s not a mistake. You’re making our streets dangerous. I’ve got a plan to crack down on super-speeders and make New York City safer. Let’s get it done.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
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.

“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…

Protected bike lanes protect everyone—especially seniors. ✅ 117 people injured on this stretch of 72nd since 2021 ✅ Designs like this reduce deaths and serious injuries by 29% ✅ For seniors, that drop is even greater: 39% We should be focused on what actually reduces harm—and the evidence is clear: the real risk is doing nothing.

The rally against the proposed new bike lane will take place on May 2. westsiderag.com/2026/04/22/opp…

"You — yes, you, the person reading this — could prevent the next deadly crash in New York City. Call Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie at (518) 455-3791 Tell him New Yorkers are counting on Assembly leadership to include the Stop Super Speeders Act in the final budget."
Streetsblog New York City@StreetsblogNYC

Every year, hundreds of New Yorkers are killed in traffic crashes by drivers with a habit of speeding. But by making just a couple of phone calls today, you — yes, you! — could change that. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/22/sto…

After years of researching and advocating for this, we are thrilled it's finally happening! Most people using 72nd street are bus riders, micromobility users, and pedestrians, but the current street doesn't reflect this. This design will improve things for everyone.
Streetsblog New York City@StreetsblogNYC

The safety improvements for West 72nd Street will convert four lanes of traffic into two, with a center turning bay, adding a two-way protected bike lane on the north side of the street. Bus riders will also get raised boarding islands and crosswalks. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/14/eas…
