Transportation Alternatives

When Mayor-elect Mamdani takes office, he will control over 6,300 miles of streets throughout the five boroughs. Reducing car dependence is one of the best ways to reduce costs for New Yorkers. Owning a car costs nearly $9,000 annually, while taking transit costs just $1,500.

It will allow New Yorkers on bikes to get on and off the bridge easily, and give pedestrians more room to walk. This project is a win-win, and it's wise to get it done before the World Cup, when there'll be even more people on the bridge — both on two feet and two wheels!

Giving pedestrians and cyclists separate lanes on the bridge was a major step forward, but they're still competing for space at the entrance. The redesign announced today will finally fix that issue.

The Brooklyn Bridge is a vital transportation link and an iconic landmark destination — a Times Square in the sky with more than 10 million annual visitors. We were thrilled to join Mayor Mamdani today for the announcement of a common-sense redesign of its Manhattan entrance!

Huge news for the 2,400+ Citi Bikers crossing the Brooklyn Bridge on summer days!

A great upgrade is coming to the Brooklyn Bridge entrance in Manhattan! Soon cyclists and pedestrians will have completely separate access. This was the scene during my ride home yesterday:

At any given point in time, nearly one fifth of Manhattan’s bus stops are obstructed by cars or trucks. Illegal parking is slowing down your bus and delaying your commute.

Niyell was the victim of a crash that never should've happened. We can stop it from happening again. My Stop Super Speeders Act would require the most reckless drivers to install speed limiters. Thanks @SenatorCCleare and Niyell's father Darnell for this powerful op-ed.

It's time for Albany to Stop Super Speeders. Read our full report here: transalt.org/press-releases…

Because super speeders are such significant repeat offenders, residents in the top 20 districts are exposed to speeding violations 10 times more often than in the bottom 20 districts. Super speeders were caught speeding in the top 13 as many times as the bottom 52 combined.

Versions of the “Stop Super Speeders” bill have been included in both Governor Hochul’s preliminary budget proposal and the State Senate’s one-house budget proposal. It's time for the Assembly to step up to the plate and slow down the most dangerous drivers.

NEW DATA: Residents of Assembly District 23 (southwest Queens) are terrorized by super speeders more often than any other district. Super speeders were caught speeding in school zones in AD-23 more than 17,000 times last year, or once every 30 minutes.

It's time for Albany to pass the Stop Super Speeders bill. Read the full op-ed now: amsterdamnews.com/news/2026/03/2…

"Just as ignition interlock devices helped reduce drunk driving deaths, speed limiters can do the same for speed-related crashes... Niyell isn’t coming back — but that doesn’t mean we can’t prevent other crashes like the one that killed her."

Powerful op-ed in @NYAmNews from @SenatorCCleare and Families for Safe Streets member Darnell Sealy-McCrorey: "Niyell McCrorey never turned 14 years old. As she crossed an Upper West Side street just a few days before her birthday, she was struck by an SUV driver."
