Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer. It’s been a wild ride—but nothing compared to what’s ahead.
Buckle up: it’s time to build a new New York, together.
@graciefacelove@slash_s1 Best move for people who work overnight is to leave the zone uptown and then loop around into the zone after midnight before going home. You pay the congestion charge only once per day. You can come in anytime later the same day and you've paid the $2.25 rate not $9.
@the_transit_guy There are legitimate reasons to eliminate tall dining structures that interfere with daylighting and other important objectives. Please educate yourself on the opposition to outdoor dining which includes many pro transit and pro congestion pricing voices.
@the_transit_guy It’s not only about parking spaces. At present, many dining structures are in horrible locations proximate to bike lanes, and run contrary to daylighting goals at intersections.
@LincolnRestler@RogerClark41 Interesting idea. However, most of the time the sweeper doesn’t even come by so honestly most drivers feel as though alternate side 2x a week is primarily a money grab by the city. This legislation without other reforms would just reinforce that belief.
🔁🔁🔁 I reintroduced our bill to strengthen penalties for Alternate Side Parking violations. It would increase fines over a 12 month period:
1st violation ➡️ $65 fee
2nd & 3rd ➡️ $100 fee
4th ➡️ vehicle towed
I chatted about it last year with @RogerClark41 ⬇️
POVERTY
The lowest-income families in the Bronx are often forced to pay predatory fees to transfer their own money to their loved ones abroad.
I spoke to the Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) about the need to create a better, cheaper, and faster remittance system that would protect the lowest-income families from exorbitant fees.
News Flash: NYC’s public transit from airports is a disgrace. Arrive late to JFK? Cough up at least $80 for an Uber or spend your evening waiting on deserted train platforms. NYC, we can do so much better!
NEW: Apple’s first unionized retail store is seeking customer tips, greatly expanded vacation and time off benefits, bereavement leave for pets and close friends, 10% pay raises and more. The two sides are negotiating this week. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
@StarTrekOnPPlus@NFLonCBS This cross promotion is ridiculous. What on earth is CBS doing? The shows are horribly written, the promotion poorly targeted- can CBS please just sell the trek IP to Disney or anyone else who can manage high quality productions?
Allies and adversaries will go head to head in an epic clash. Watch the AFC Championship Game on @NFLonCBS next Sunday, January 29 to see the official trailer for #StarTrekPicard's final season during halftime.
@paulee@Noted_Thanks_@s3xynews@elonmusk@BLKMDL3@Apple@SpaceX Globalstar doesn’t have enough satellites to provide good coverage worldwide plus it’s all super low bandwidth. The Apple deal seems to be financing more launches however, this will take another 2 years before it is remotely comparable to Iridium-enabled sos messengers.
@MKBHD Globalstar, the provider they are using works horribly since their constellation is quite limited compared to iridium (which the quality trackers use).
iPhone 14 gets Emergency SOS via satellite? When pointed directly at a satellite with a clear view of the sky, you can send messages with no cellular connection. There’s UI to show you exactly where to point your phone so you hit a satellite
