"From McGuinness Boulevard and Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn to Fordham Road in the Bronx, Mayor Adams rarely meets a transportation NIMBY he doesn't agree with. Pundits who want to give Adams (or his team) credit can cite his administration's record on crime, sanitation and housing, but when it comes to transportation, Adams has been insincere, uninvested and un-open to criticism - a toxic combination in a leader."
"Brooklyn tragedy: A hit-and-run driver killed 32-year-old cyclist Alexandra Huggins over the weekend. (Streetsblog, Gothamist) A new documentary dives into the McGuinness Boulevard bike lane fight and the city's expansion of bike lanes more generally. (NY1) Leader Staten Island politicians think opposing safety is a political winner. (S.I. Advance) The MTA made a fairly minor concession to next year's fare hike - weekly fares will now increase from $34 to $35, rather than the $36 originally planned."
Eric Adams dropped out of the mayoral race after months of barely campaigning and will remain on the ballot with negligible polling impact. Adams's transportation record includes empty promises, alleged corruption, repeated concessions to local NIMBY opposition, and a reluctance to pursue street-safety reforms. Critics note that his administration performed on crime, sanitation, and housing but failed on transportation policy and responsiveness. Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani leads with ambitious transportation promises and has criticized Adams; Andrew Cuomo lacks a streets transportation plan. Several transportation news items include a Brooklyn cyclist's death, a documentary on McGuinness Boulevard bike lanes, and a modest MTA fare adjustment.
