Word On The Street

“The problem is that both the city and state government have decided that public transit is not a public service worth adequately funding.”

This is looking north across 34th Street. Even the newest, most visible car-free spaces are no match for NYPD!

Students Paint the Pavement in Brooklyn

Not only did these students beautify their school's street, they also identified it to motorists as a thoroughfare frequented by school-age pedestrians in a way that mere signage and conventional markings do not. There are hundreds of school zones across the city that could benefit from the same treatment.
