Cops are searching for the hit-and-run driver of an SUV who fatally struck a Brooklyn pedestrian early on Thursday morning on a Bedford-Stuyvesant street that was literally hours from getting a long-delayed safety redesign. https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/10/11/hit-and-run-driver-kills-pedestrian-on-bedford-av-hours-before-long-stalled-safety-redesign-begins

Big step forward for @npub1ze8…yxup's City of Yes as city commits to last-mile warehouse regulations to rein in the rogue industry. @npub19ky…4wva has the scoop: https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/05/22/a-watershed-moment-city-commits-to-last-mile-warehouse-review

BREAKING: NYC Department of Investigation confirms years of Streetsblog reporting by revealing placard corruption by NYPD cops and the agency's failure to crack down and its violation of city law: https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/04/03/long-awaited-placard-report-reveals-widespread-abuse-by-nypd

Why did this @npub10f5…8up7 officer allow this scofflaw driver to put a plate on his ghost car AFTER hitting a cyclist? We've submitted a FOIL request for the body-worn camera footage (FOIL-2024-056-08524): https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/03/25/ghost-tags-plateless-driver-hits-cyclist-but-isnt-charged-for-the-crime

We were happy to see that the illegally parked @npub1vap…2aqw truck was at least not blocking the busy bike lane on Centre St. — but less pleased with the agency's professionalism when we took a closer look at the truck (right).

At this point, you have to assume that @npub1ze8…yxup has quietly killed several key rule changes that @npub1hd8…79vp says would make cycling safer: https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/02/27/stuckatdot-city-delays-suggest-safe-cycling-rule-changes-are-dead

Reminder from @npub1lm3…f5r9 @npub1q8t…djc9 @npub176g…uq89 & others: anti-congestion pricing lawsuits are delaying sorely needed subway accessibility upgrades.

Have we mentioned recently that @npub1tj4…g2y4 won a @npub1j38…jx4w for his "ghost tags" series? https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/02/19/streetsblog-wins-polk-award-for-ghost-tags-series

The city's rules for the 8-month open restaurants program won't let eateries protect diners from the rain or cold. @npub1hr0…ecjs has the story: https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2023/10/20/proposed-permanent-outdoor-dining-rules-leave-diners-out-in-the-rain

As @npub145a…z8n7 points out, another reason to not be that impressed by the city's effort to transition taxis to electric vehicles? The downstate power grid is dirty AF: https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2023/10/20/komanoff-adamss-green-rides-initiative-is-bad-transportation-and-climate-policy

Hat tip to @npub12hu…lrhq for pointing out that amid a rash of crashes, @npub1hd8…79vp has no borough commissioner in The Bronx. https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2023/09/13/amid-rash-of-crashes-theres-no-bronx-borough-commissioner-for-dot

As @npub10tk…f0lt reports here, it's simply amazing how much contempt rich suburbanites have for residents of The Bronx: https://hellgatenyc.com/fordham-road-busway-scuttled-by-powerful-interests
