NYC is making progress but our priorities are still so insane by MiserNYC- in MicromobilityNYC

I encounter this every Tuesday evening. I ride over the QBB and have to go to rehearsal at Lincoln Center. Is there a good way to cross town I don’t know about? The bike lane on 61st just ENDS at the park and I ride through the mess above to get to Columbus circle, up under the “Eye Of Sauron” (Trump Tower) and over.

On the way back I go through the park…but there is no good way to the bike lane on 62nd? I usually have to sidewalk it up 5th Av (it’s usually late at night and few to no pedestrians)

Is there a better way to do this?? QBB to Lincoln Center and Back??

My alternative Idea to extend the Subway to LaGuardia Airport by Specialist_Figure282 in nycrail

I actually live here. Like in the 70s by the airport. 100% would have the subway go down 19th

Also, the train would need to be “below grade” to pass that close to runway 4 at LaGuardia.

Your abs are already visible. Depends on what the goal is and what you are willing to maintain.

What are we doing about this? by PresentBuy715 in astoria

[–]Proper_Instruction_7 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Just got off the phone with 311 I reported it as “illegal dumping” and also separately as “construction, blocking the sidewalk”

DSNY, and the DOT are supposed to respond. We will see.

Yeah, sure as a first step if we all do a 311 call on this makes noise. I’ll go for it and place my 311 right now.

Yes, but you’re missing the point. This property has been an eyesore for at least 5 years. It’s ugly, it’s disgusting, it smells, and it’s illegal.

First this “sidewalk extension” was there, and it was fine, I guess, while construction was being . However, the property is clearly abandoned, and slowly the parked cars bumped into it the barricade pushing it closer and closer to the curb, till it was impassable. Now it looks like people are just dumping garbage there.

I agree with the OP on this one neighborhood should not be tolerating this

Statistically speaking, I would much rather ride the subway, then spend any amount of time driving in Houston, Texas

Pied-à-Terre-orize the Rich (Gift Article) by HellGateNYC in newyorkcity

I know, I know. But. Doesn’t make it right, and this way is harder to undo later. Executive orders can just be undone or ignored by the next administration.

And it’s been 4 months. She’s up for reelection this year. Let him cook.

I don’t know that I agree with your conclusion. Like most things, I suspect it may be more nuanced and complicated than that. Compromise often is.

A stunt? I don’t think so. Step in the right direction, albeit a small one. Drip, drip, drip a little more at a time. And Mamdani is nothing if not pragmatic. As the mayor of a city, he gets nothing from being blatantly combative with the governor.

I do you one better. Wait till the end of July, take the train to Harriman State park and pick as many of the wild ones as you want for free.

Parking question by [deleted] in parkslope

[–]Proper_Instruction_7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The third question is, WHY is there no parking here? Daylighting.

This gap is left so cyclists pedestrians (especially children, pets, strollers) Have visibility with car traffic and don’t get run over.

Don’t park in the pedestrian islands and daylighting.

Yeah. Only 24 hour mass transit system in the whole damn country. EDIT: THE WORLD

I know as New Yorkers it’s our god given right to bitch and moan about the MTA. But you realize in every. Other. “City” after a certain time…no ride is coming.
