Delivery workers can trade their e-bike or moped for a discounted UL-certified e-bike. Old vehicles and batteries will be safely recycled. 7/31 at @BklynNavyYard is the first trade-in event. 👏👏👏 @EquitableCP @propelbike @ternbicycles equitablecommute.org/tradein

This show failed to mention that as a pedestrian walking across a roundabout totally sucks / takes way longer and is dangerous. Considered a non windshield perspective! Should Traffic Lights Be Abolished? (Replay) @freakonomics freakonomics.com/podcast/should…

Trees can cool city streets up to 2 degrees F, as well as shade buildings and reduce energy consumption. Check @NYCParks Cool It! NYC map on.nyc.gov/3dPK680 to stay in the shade. #BeatTheHeat

This SUV with Ohio plates illegally cuts through Prospect Park every morning at around 8:45-9:15am and speeds the entire time to avoid traffic on Flatbush Ave and Ocean Ave on his way to Eastern Parkway #bikenyc what can be done to stop him?

This year, we implemented pedestrian accessibility improvements along Unionport Rd (Westchester to Starling Aves) in #theBronx. This project constructed the existing painted medians to be more accessible and will include new streets trees in the next planting season. #nycdot2022
