We're really disappointed to hear that the bike lane network in Community District 14, including protected bike lanes on Cortelyou and Dorchester Roads, will not be installed this year as DOT originally presented. We're hearing they're targeting installation for next year.

For those of us who live on or near Court Street, this all is going to be a game changer. Thanks to @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social and everyone who has fought for better bike infrastructure in this neighborhood. Especially as school is back with zillions of parents and kids biking! Love to see it!
The Court Street bike lane (being implemented now) plus the greenway over the Gowanus Canal/under the expressway adds a nice protected corridor to Brooklyn's #bikenyc network

The night after the murder of Melissa Hortman, the Democratic legislator in Minnesota, the Yankees were at the Red Sox and neither team requested a moment of silence.
For an actual public servant.
Who we choose to hold a moment of silence for and who we do not are silences that speak volumes.

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

The online portal through which state Medicaid departments receive federal funding stopped working Tuesday, according to state officials. The outage at least temporarily jeopardized payments the federal government legally owes Medicaid programs, which serve tens of millions of low-income Americans.
