Was there a panel of multiple candidates or was it a "no bid contract" based on politics and cronyism?

I think Ms Weinshall should turn down this new job until these questions are answered. I plan on calling CUNY on Friday to get the answer.

Welcome to Sunshine Week.

It is time for America to start increasing the taxes on car ownership. If a household owns more than one car, there should be an increasingly higher annual tax on every car after the first one.

This would be a fair way to encourage a reduction of cars on the road, to increase revenues for road and transit system improvements, and to fight Global Warming.

How do we all live well without so many cars? The answer, and the plan, is found in a great new book, "HOW TO LIVE WELL WITHOUT OWNING A CAR" by Chris Balish.

Sincerely,

"Ms. Weinshall committed the city to building more bike lanes, promising 200 miles over the next few years. This could lead to fewer cars and accidents, especially if the lanes are kept clear of foot traffic and other obstacles to the cyclists."

FOOT traffic? FOOT TRAFFIC???

I think it was Komanoff who surmised here on Streetsblog that the Times Ed Board must all be car people. I'll go one better and bet, based on the quote above, that they never see the streets at all, except for Times Square. That's where bike lanes ARE overrun with peds. Everywhere else, it's cars, as everyone else in New York knows.
