Oct 3, 1927: the Queen Street East railway underpass—or subway—at DeGrassi Street opens to road traffic. This was the first of nine railway underpasses to be completed as part of the Waterfront Grade Separation project. 1/2

The amount of space we dedicate to car storage for just a few people!!!! is ridiculous. This business on Christopher St always has super long lines, sidewalk is already incredibly narrow and somehow we can’t make more space for people walking by because parking for 3 people is too important! 😬

The person with the ridiculous dangerous green vehicle is more important to @galebrewernyc.bsky.social than safety. Really shameful.

400,000 daily commuters cross into NYC through tunnels opened in 1913. Chris Christie wrecked the last fix so Democrats came back with an even more ambitious plan improve our transit infrastructure. The 47 regime can’t be allowed to renege on federal commitments to Gateway.

The crosswalk in Oakland where 4yo Jalen Gomez died was made less visible & lacked a basic safety feature - Bergen Co won't say why.

In 2020, a state grant to make ped safety upgrades along Ramapo Valley Road was denied. Now ped deaths in NJ are at 30-year highs.

you need to push hard on the second Hudson Tunnel. It's one of the most important infrastructure projects in the US, possibly the most important. It needs to be built, and Jack Ciattarelli and his buddy in Washington are just screwing over tax payers.

The Trump administration is putting a hold on roughly $18 billion to fund a new rail tunnel beneath the Hudson River between New York and New Jersey, as well as the city’s expanded Second Avenue subway project because of the government shutdown.
