@armavirus @GershKuntzman @InnaVernikov @cb14brooklyn @NYC_DOT Jewish kids and adults are riding bicycles all over Kensington and Boro Park... the streets are too narrow BECAUSE of the cars parked on both sides - remove the car parking and BAM, plenty of space for a protected bike lane!!

@GershKuntzman @InnaVernikov @cb14brooklyn @NYC_DOT Jewish area with lots of kids. They don't ride bicycles as much as people in other areas. Also, the streets are quite narrow with cars parked on both sides. Cars will have to drive very close to one side increasing chance of kids being run over because drivers can't see the kids

🚨 HUGE UPDATE on proposed bike lanes in Midwood: I spoke w/ Brooklyn Borough Commissioner Keith Bray & @cb14brooklyn to HALT this from happening. Happy to say as a result of our conversations and advocacy, @NYC_DOT is PAUSING implementation of bike lanes in the southern section, including E. 12 & other blocks that overlap into our district! 💪 We will update the community on opportunities to voice your opposition to the project. Huge thank you to Shawn Campbell from CB14 for being such an incredible help on this issue!

I watch this video every Holocaust Remembrance Day. And I cry every time, because it revives my hope in humanity! This is Nicholas Winton, who rescued 669 (mostly Jewish) children from Czechoslovakia during the Holocaust & brought them to Britain in the Kindertransport.

One photo. It tells an entire story. It started with hate. But it didn’t end there. Today we remember the six million men, women and children murdered in the Holocaust. We promise to never stop sharing their stories.

Drought over! 👏

@News12BK Which one? There are two SBUX "on 7th ave in Park Slope"

STARBUCKS CLOSING: The announcement comes just months after the Park Slope store successfully unionized. bit.ly/3PBGyZJ

@richmintz Pedestrian signal is for crossing street... the bike signal is always(?) flashing yellow on Greenway and required to yield anyway, when peds in crosswalk (regardless of street ped light)

This pedestrian signal and this conflicting bike signal are green at the same time, isn’t this Bad? I just made a biker very Mad by walking into the crosswalk on the Hudson bikeway (where these people are walking) while the pedestrian signal was green

@nypost The photo on this post is a moped, which is already required by law to be registered with DMV... not an ebike!

@CharDreizen But these types of bags can be recycled at store drop-off??? Most bags have "store dropoff" with recycled sybmol tho...

Really good question! This hits on lots of interesting variables with plastic recycling. The short answer is this piece of plastic film *is* recyclable but we don’t have infrastructure to collect it so it can’t be recycled today and must be trashed. Long answer:

@ebottcher Is this a private one??? Why is it not listed here? new.mta.info/project/statio…

@nbcwashington Your post conflicts the article headline... which is it, scooter driver or cyclist???

@CustomerSe65111 @Sen_Gounardes The top cancer center in nyc is outside the congestion zone, so those "millions" of patients won't have to worry about this user fee

@Sen_Gounardes I've never seen a politician so excited to enact a toll on millions of chemotherapy recipients. Congratulations. You will be voted out pretty soon. Be ready. Because I just told you the wording of the commercial.

Where do I file my refund request for the thousands of dollars in NJ Turnpike tolls I’ve paid over the years to support NJ’s travel infrastructure? It’s unconscionable that NYers should have to pay to use NJ’s roads.

@jehiah @NYC_DOT @ebottcher The @DEANEWYORKDiv is in this bldg, so what do we think is happening here??? #placardabuse

hey @NYC_DOT Can you help me understand what is happening on this block of 10th ave from 16th to 17th St where the bike lane is perpetually blocked, but there are no active DOT permits? cc: @ebottcher

@BrooklynCB12 @K9great84 @NYC_DOT @NYCMayorsOffice @ConEdison @nationalgridus @KalmanYeger @SEichenstein @NYSenatorFelder @NYPD66Pct @NY1 @News12BK But you're in charge of representing the community, @BrooklynCB12... and all sorts of road inconvenience is unacceptable, whether it be construction/ utility companies blocking roads or reckless drivers endangering pedestrians!

@K9great84 @NYC_DOT @NYCMayorsOffice @ConEdison @nationalgridus @KalmanYeger @SEichenstein @NYSenatorFelder @NYPD66Pct @NY1 @News12BK We are not in charge of reckless driving enforcement. Please call your local precinct to report.

This is how our district looked like today at various locations. It's unacceptable and has to stop! We're putting all construction and utility companies on notice. We will not rest until you either comply with the law or we'll drive you out of our district by all means necessary.

@StreetsblogNYC @CitiBikeNYC Been there since Tues AM

Come on, ⁦@CitiBikeNYC⁩, help a commuter out.

@CharDreizen I've seen some of these types are just 1 bin inside... and i bet, all of it usually goes into a landfill

I am once again begging airports to tell you what you can recycle SPECIFICALLY in their bins

Dear naive anti-Israel activist 1. 'Palestine' is a name given to the Jewish holy land by Christian European empires.... It has nowt to do with indigenous people, Islam or Judaism. 2. The map of 'Palestine' you hold up as sacred was drawn just over 100 years ago by a colonial pen. It is entirely a modern colonial construct. Basically the enemies of Israel just piggybacked on your ignorance and antisemitism... to get you to support a fictional narrative - and today you are just a person in the west, trying to dicate and impose a completely western and alien concept on people living 1000s of miles away... No different from how supremacists in European empires were acting 100s of years ago. You are EXACTLY what you say you despise.

@CharDreizen Except in NYC, I assume?? Nyc311 says to "place recyclable items in clear, untinted bags" #onlyinNYC

@amcasper Or 2) if the load of recycling is too contaminated to recycle (more than 20% contaminated), where that full load is just too full of contamination to even send through the recycling system. In these cases the full load is directed to landfill or waste-to-energy.

Agh. I’ve been there! If you are feeling game - would 100% say moving a (plastic) bag of recycling to the trash. But, I get the tons of reasons why one may not want to on a given day. Collectors (99% of the time) won’t move a bag of recycling to the trash due to…
