@JibreelJalloh @NYCMayor Agree! They’ve made huge progress. But there’s more to go! Also, the 311 app just directs to a clunky website. We used to be able to upload pix in the app itself quickly! Need a smoother way to report please!

NYC fixed 66,000 potholes already this year…
But we’re still dodging craters out here in parts of Southern Brooklyn.
We can change that.
See a pothole? Call 311 & report it.
@nycmayor we need the blitz to reach our neighborhoods.

@EmilyAssembly @NYC_SafeStreets Hoping my rep @NYAMCunningham signs on asap to push this vital bill through. It’s very clear that the 43rd district is overrun with dangerous driving. Part of the solution is strong leadership.
English
No one should have to come to Albany and tell legislators about the most painful thing that’s ever happened to them. But again and again, @NYC_SafeStreets families do.
I’m fighting to Stop Super Speeders for them. We must do it in the budget this year!

The @NYCSanitation litter basket at Lefferts & Nostrand in @Bklyn_CB9 has been busted for over a month. Can we get a new one? SR 311-26298066 was already closed weeks ago but today the corner still looks like this. Thoughts? @SenatorMyrie You can see this from your office I bet.
English
@bfurnas @StreetsblogNYC Very proud that BOTH my state reps @NYAMCunningham & @SenatorMyrie are signatories on this letter. More streets for people have countless benefits to business & mental health of all NYers. Thank you for supporting.

My trip back home just got a little longer.

@DubinBen @NYCWater @eanorv @nypublicservant @CMRitaJoseph @nyc311 @Bklyn_CB9 Thanks. It’s in progress! SR# 311-26848951 ⛲️🤷♂️

@subtle116 @NYCWater @eanorv @nypublicservant @CMRitaJoseph @nyc311 @Bklyn_CB9 Report it here:

Not sure how to report this to @NYCWater but the sidewalk is steadily leaking in front of 419 Lincoln Rd in Brooklyn. Any thoughts how to address it? @eanorv @nypublicservant @CMRitaJoseph @nyc311 @Bklyn_CB9

@nyc311 Can you not just refile it? I'm more interested in a fix than feedback. It's dangerous to cross the street w/o any pedestrian signal. Pretty straightforward repair is needed. My past experience is these are usually done urgently. @NYC_DOT @CMRitaJoseph @eanorv @nypublicservant

@subtle116 Hi @subtle116, thank you for sharing photos. If you’re dissatisfied with the response, you can file agency feedback to the DOT Commissioner online at on.nyc.gov/3HpfSHl or DM us for assistance with filing. bit.ly/DM_NYC311

Hi @nyc311, could you help get this missing pedestrian signal repaired? It’s been gone over a week. Cc @NYC_DOT @Bklyn_CB9 @eanorv
English
@nyc311 I’m going to have to respectfully & very strongly DISAGREE w @NYC_DOT contractor claiming this pedestrian signal request is repaired. It’s still missing the entire signal box! I took this pic TODAY! @Bklyn_CB9 @CMRitaJoseph
English
@subtle116 Hi @subtle116, thank you for reconnecting with us and sharing a photo. Please DM us so we can ask you a few questions and assist you with this matter. bit.ly/DM_NYC311

Took nearly 4 YEARS of my requests but I think these spray paint markings mean a missing pedestrian ramp is FINALLY coming to Flatbush Avenue at Maple St. Wheelchairs & strollers will finally have proper access. Thanks @NYC_DOT! @Bklyn_CB9 @eanorv @CMRitaJoseph @NYAMCunningham
English
@subtle116 @NYC_DOT That wasn’t the DOT! See the green bottle cap looking thing that’s embedded in the fresh asphalt? That’s an ‘A-tag’ used to identify who repaired a utility cut. Green is plumbing related.

Tech/ civic friends - anyone knows why the @nyc311 reporting system for potholes changed in recent years? What used to take 4 clicks and 20 seconds in app now directs to a website & takes many clicks & too many clunky minutes. Why’d it change? @BetaNYC @NYC_DOT @NYCOfficeofTech
English
@eanorv @emily_lip @senortalone Not sure there’s even enough data to create such a chart. But #s would be single digits or at most in the teens since bikes simply can’t go as fast & weigh 80% less than a vehicle.

Cool idea!
“The city Department of Transportation’s repairs of the ancient Carroll Street Bridge are set to finish this spring and locals want to jump on a rare opportunity to pedestrianize a historic landmark.”

@sam_d_1995 @Boenau More and more I think we ought to normalize retesting and simply require it of everh driver every decade. Roads change. Cars change. No way a single test 30/40/50 years ago is enough to keep you up to date.
English
maybe a hot take but once you turn 70 you should have to take an annual road test to keep your license

A vehicle narrowly missed pedestrians and other vehicles on the street as it flew through traffic before crashing into scaffolding outside a restaurant in White Plains, New York. Police said the only person in the vehicle was the driver, an 80-year-old man who is in stable condition at a hospital. No other injuries were reported.

“fail” is a little strong, but a high quality network unlocks so much more freedom and choice for so many than disconnected segments with dangerous/harrowing gaps

@mattryanharris Amazing. Thank you! Can’t wait to see it. And eager to see it help bring about more tangible change on our streets.
English
@subtle116 i’m gonna build it out just a bit further with better prompts and reference images so the vehicles look correct and then i’ll post a beta!

I made an app that lets you generate transit oriented design to any street! Now I don’t have to imagine what it’d look like to have trains on any street!
