Updates + activism for Ocean Parkway S in #Brooklyn RTs mean we think a tweet had merit. Text tips 📲 (917) 397-0720 or ✉[email protected]
New York Department of Transportation fails to protect pedestrians on Ocean Parkway. Pedestrian lane us overrun with bikes +scooters zooming into walkers+ runners. A few haphazardly placed signs and remnants of painted warnings are not enough. #Brooklyn #ProtectOPpedestrians
And yet @NYC_DOT @NYCParks haven't repainted Ocean Parkway pedestrian lanes since repaving road back in 2017. A scant handful of signs and they think they've done their job. Meanwhile, it's often unsafe to walk due to motorbikes and dangerous cyclists.
Paint is not protection … especially from drivers exiting or entering a highway.
ConEd "blaming" NY climate goals for sudden rate hikes really takes gaslighting to new levels
New Yorkers are fuming over sudden increases in their Con Ed bills. In some cases, bills have doubled and even tripled. Lawmakers are demanding an investigation. Con Ed says they're not responsible for the hikes. nydailynews.com/news/politics/…
Audre Lorde lived just blocks away from Silver Lake Park. Last year, the lake's eastern promenade was named in her honor. Visit it at our upcoming tour with the Urban Park Rangers in honor of #BlackHistoryMonth: on.nyc.gov/35VCAaB
#DYK poet, essayist, feminist, and Civil Rights activist Audre Lorde lived at 207 St. Paul’s Avenue #onStatenIsland? In this house, Lorde wrote many of her most famous poems and books. #NYCLandmarks #BlackHistoryMonth
Pedestrian deaths have increased dramatically in NYC. What a loss. What a tragedy. May his memory be for a blessing.

Jack Mikulincer was on his way to synagogue to observe the Sabbath when he was hit by an S.U.V. in Brooklyn, the police and family members said.
1/ It’s not just you. @ConEdison bills are jolting many New Yorkers, with some bills tripling from a month prior. Here’s why you’re getting sticker shocked ⚡ and what you can do: buff.ly/3sszK4v
Team MOIA, @NYCCHR, @mayorsCAU and @NYC_SBS are in Flushing, Queens for the #LunarNewYear celebrations and to spread the word about critical city services and programs like @IDNYC available to all New Yorkers!
May his memory be for a blessing. And we know the good (hard) work you all do at @RWRNetwork and are so pained that a local lunatic accosted you on Friday while you were simply trying to go about your day. Laws need to change in NYC to protect you while you help others!
FYI @OPSNeighbors
48 hours since the snowstorm stopped & much of our city is still inaccessible to anyone pushing a stroller, in a wheelchair or with mobility issues, because crosswalks remain buried in snow. This is an equity issue too often ignored. @NYCMayor take action. #clearthecurbs.
Great rule! One wonders how you'll even begin trying to enforce it.
A new rule goes into effect in NYC today which requires drivers to stop, rather than yield, for pedestrians in intersections when traffic controls 🚦🛑 are not in place. Drivers must remain stopped until such pedestrians cross the roadway. www1.nyc.gov/html/dot/downl…
Huzzah! Now how about clearly marking the pedestrian walks on Ocean Parkway and gently cracking down on the cyclists and scooters dangerously zipping through the pedestrian lane on OP.
Breaking: @NYCmayor says city will re-imagine 1,000 intersections w/ traffic calming and re-capturing space for pedestrians *INCLUDING RAISED CROSSWALKS* on.jehiah.cz/3nFE2Ea
Lost in the Park? 🤔 Here’s a helpful tip—even for lifelong New Yorkers: check the four numbers on any lamppost base. The first two numbers indicate the nearest street, and if the the last two numbers are odd, you're on the west side and if they are even, you're on the east side.

Martin Luther King Jr's Greatest Speeches
As well as being instrumental in the pursuit of racial equality, Martin Luther King Jr was an eloquent and inspirational speaker. Here are some of his best speeches.
As a supposed pedestrian city, NYC is doing an awful job of protecting pedestrians from distracted drivers and those on bikes or scooters who believe themselves immune to both traffic laws and the laws of common courtesy.
Hey you! ➡️Before making that turn make sure the coast is clear of pedestrians and bicyclists! It takes a second or two to save a life! Drive safe, drive aware! #VisionZero
