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.”

Eyes on the Street

Cop cars parked in pedestrian plaza, blocking bike lane

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

There are hundreds of school zones across the city that could benefit from the same treatment.
