For a decade, we’ve worked to bring secure bike parking to life. We built and funded a real system with private capital + advertising — and have dreamed of scaling it. But we’ve never been able to meaningfully partner with the DOT. Full story linked: medium.com/oonee/proving-…

@ShabazzStuart Of course it's fanciful. I'd rather see the focus on Sunnyside, as at least the location makes sense. Anything like this will cost a bajillion dollars, so might as well pick carefully.

First, the Federal Government (which owns and manages the land) must transfer it to the City (like Gov Island). Then we need to figure out how to make light rail not cost a trillion dollars, and finally invent a commercially viable/dependable robobus. But sure, tweet about it.

What’s it going to take for City Hall to finally upzone Floyd Bennett Field for new homes? Build above max flood level. Add self-driving buses or light rail. Thousands of homes on underused NYC public land, what are we waiting for?

@ridestheq46 @andrewkalish SC not having a subway line is the worst part of that area though. No chance the city builds a massive housing development w/o major connection today. Utica Ave subway runs into Flatbush and could be elevated in the median.

@ShabazzStuart @andrewkalish Starrett City doesnt have a Subway line and I would guess it would be something like Starrett City. It would be an extension of the Flatbush Ave Line if it was ever built (Might be a problem because of water table)

@andrewkalish also LRT won't cut it here, this would need to be a stop on a future Utica ave subway extension. Serious housing development means a neighborhood of like 30k-50k people *at the end of the line* so you would need something that can support 70k+ pax per day at least.

@plaxiferion We’ve tried, but DOT often controls the space above ground and MTA operates it. Will send you a DM

@ShabazzStuart Yo Shabazz I wanted to ask you about Oonee potentially partnering with the MTA to provide bike parking inside stations Especially since your company has the smaller storage concepts that could easily fit in most stations Kinda like what happens in Netherlands/Copenhagen

@halaljew @nkulw Not getting a new round of austerity for now. The problem is that those pension payments aren't going away, they're just being delayed and the budgets for the out years were already even worse than FY2027.

@nkulw We didn’t get tax increases on the wealthy, but IMO that fight isn’t over, esp if Mamdani wins 2 terms. Hochul may be slightly more amenable to tax increases after elections (this is what happened with congestion pricing), but at least we’re not getting a new round of austerity.

Details still coming but I would call this a W for Mamdani. Austerity doesn't look to be in the cards, the property tax stuff elicited the pied a terre compromise. You could credit Mamdani maneuvering but it also seems like Albany wants to reset budget relations w NYC post-Cuomo

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has ditched his plan to raise New Yorkers’ property taxes — an unpopular measure he threatened to use to help close a two-year deficit. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

I think bigger problem here is that pension reamortization is really just punting and right the economy (and tax revenues) are probable better than they will be in the following years so budgets in the out years may be structurally more difficult.

The bulk of the support comes from savings measures, including $2.3B from restructuring pension payouts, $508M from “class size flexibility” and $361M in other actions, per Hochul's team. Also $150M in new school aid and $500M from the pied-à-terre tax. crainsnewyork.com/politics-polic…

A moment of family biking on Dean St, this parent has a kid in a cargo bike and an older kid on their own bike and they’re navigating street design that prioritizes cars. Can’t wait for families and everyone (on foot + drivers) to be able to travel safety on the this corridor.

How are we celebrating Bike & Roll to School Day? With a new bike boulevard on Bergen & Dean Streets. Bike boulevards are low-traffic streets designed to make walking and biking safer and more comfortable for students and families while maintaining local vehicle traffic.
