@uppereastsiteny @JulieMenin @SAC_NYC “Active” may be debatable but we agree that Honey Locust Park is lovely. Let’s extend it! With the new pedestrian path over the bridge coming, now is the time. Lemme know if you wanna hear from folks who live on that block.

That is the entrance to an active DOT equipment storage lot. Honey Locust Park on the eastern side of that overpass, where your group photo was taken, received a nearly $2M renovation just last year. A super sidewalk is also being installed on the entire northern side of the block. uppereastsite.com/super-sidewalk…

@JulieMenin @SAC_NYC Fantastic, thank you! This is a huge boost for our effort. It is exactly because DOT has no plans to change anything that we have turned to you for help. With the opening of the new pedestrian path on the bridge, now is the time to re-open that space cc @OpenPlans

@MarketUrbanism Have been taking the First and second Ave routes since they started. Hundreds of times. Used to see them quite a bit but have not seen them for years, at least since start of COVID.

NYC Transit riders: have you ridden an SBS route and had your ticket checked by an Eagle Team *within the last two years*? If so, can you reply and say what day of the week it was (weekday/weekend is fine), and about what time? I wanna see if my hypothesis about something is true

@errollouis It’s a big game. Sometimes I would say “the press conference” but they got smart to that and would ask “which one?” So I would look through and try to see signs of what the press conference was about. Charter schools! But our members would just get refused entry.

As a cub reporter in the 80s, I used to eat lunch on the steps of City Hall and watch Koch and his commissioners go in and out. Now a man with a gun stops you, which sucks. Interrogation or magnetometer—we don’t need both.

@EricFPhillips And you had a pass to walk right through! The number of times I got asked “what are you here for?” To observe my government in action and speak to my elected officials, that is what I’m here for. And no I did not reserve the steps.

@KeithPowersNYC @one_vanderbilt You let me know what the cheapest item on the menu is. So many great places opening in your district not affiliated with the bullionaire class.

Glad to be joining the opening of Le Pavillon at One Vanderbilt. Spirits are strong and the weather is perfect. New York City’s will always be the culinary capital of the world. Let’s bring back our restaurants and bars in a roaring way.

I want to talk about a storefront that comes to mind on this “vendor vs storefront” fiasco. I present to you, 2140 White Plains Road. Now... at first glance you’d make the claim “oh, you see! Vendors are harming storefronts.” But you’d be wrong. Take a read. ↘️

@AndrewYang Well, you just lost my vote. And hopefully many more, as it seems you are getting slaughtered for this. At very least you need to spend a day with @vendorpower, hearing from their members and reading the research on this issue.

You know what I hear over and over again - that NYC is not enforcing rules against unlicensed street vendors. I’m for increasing licenses but we should do more for the retailers who are paying rent and trying to survive.

Albor Ruiz was writing about the lack of vending permits -- and the injustice of it - in 2009. He was always on the leading edge of immigrant rights issues. RIP. nydailynews.com/new-york/brook…
