Every reasonable person?

Reminder that adding lanes doesn’t fix traffic, extending the G train and having it come more frequently + Interborough Express are the alternatives

Only asking because the worst offenders for parking all over the sidewalk seem to be cops. It's a mess outside every precinct.

NY pays 8% of the $100B collected yearly revenue to make payments on debts the City owes to private lenders because it has no public bank.

That’s quite MeTA

I do, but I didn't get it printed yet.

I mean reducing the lanes clearly didn’t fix anything and hasn’t had the effect they wanted it to. There has to be a better solution.

As someone whose logged thousands of miles in the park the delivery bikes riding at high-speeds in the pedestrian lanes and pedicabs blocking the pedestrian lanes remain a constant threat. I’ve gotten good at navigating around tourists, both on foot and bike, but those delivery bikes force you to rapidly change course creating further dangers.

No, not particularly close.

Who still pays to get on the subway?

This isn’t increasing lanes, it’s reinstating a lane that was/is already there and was reduced to two lanes.

They’ll probably get better once the Metrocards are phased out. Metrocards were similarly plain and monocolored in their very first days.

Increasing lanes doesn't reduce traffic.

You're hired! Implement everything please!

Agreed fully.

Didn't mention things that are just plain illegal (delivery bikes against traffic are one thing but I've nearly been hit by citibikes in the running lane going the opposite direction of the bike lane).

The running groups particularly bother me as a novice runner who runs along. Makes me feel like a huge outsider or non-runner when a group of 20-30 people are running at me and no one is adjusting to accommodate people going the other direction (me) so I'm forced into the bike lane.

Didn’t vote for the guy, but if he does something about this 90 minute traffic jam from la guardia to Hamilton avenue that arises every day, I’ll take a second look.

Lol at a news source starting with the word “SHOCKER”.

Also, anyone who has driven on the BQE knows that the lane reduction at the triple cantilever section has led to more idling vehicles and stop and go traffic which has an adverse effect on these communities. The BQE is a major artery for commercial traffic for the city, it’s not going anywhere, and a permanent reduction in lanes will not solve any issues besides advocates “checking” a box.

This is only one incident and involved hundreds of protestors lol. But yeah tell me again how this isn’t a systemic police problem.

Do you have the blue Metrocard look?

I got mine at cvs.

Does hundreds of victims of violence that the nypd is about to settle with mean anything to you? Is that not widespread enough to signal systemic problems with the force?

It’s supposed to look like a metro card

It was very widespread. No one said it was the “entire force”, do you know how large the force is? You seem mighty quick to absolve “the police.” It was absolutely widespread this has been widely reported as well as investigated. But yeah totally just a few bad apples. Let me know if you need any more receipts of this well documented failure at pretty much all levels to the police response here. There were multiple investigations that found widespread police abuse and look at that, only this week the nypd is about to pay a record settlement over their actions.

• An independent New York City police review board has recommended that the department punish dozens of officers for excessive use of force and other alleged misconduct during protests that followed the 2020 murder of George Floyd, according to a report released on Monday.

“Among the complaints, officers were found to have used batons and pepper spray on peaceful protesters in 140 instances. Dozens of allegations of abuse of authority, including officers refusing to identify themselves, concealing their badges and making false or misleading statements, were also substantiated, the report by Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) said.”

Do you live near an NYPD precinct?

Ooh, I like that.
