Your tax-deductible donations have been so helpful over the years as Streetsblog provides the megaphone for the livable streets movement, which seeks to make our city better by reducing car use, boosting sustainable transport and reclaiming public space for public good. And busting drivers who park illegally with city-issued (or flat-out fake) placards. Speaking of which, this year, your donation comes with the ultimate city perk: an official-looking, yet completely fake, Streetsblog parking placard.
We said it all day: The livable streets movement elected Zohran Mamdani. Sure, armies of Socialist volunteerchiks, immigrant aunties, renters, Bronxites and so many others filled his winning coalition (as this nice Times video shows), but don't neglect the role played by bus riders, bike riders and YIMBYs in getting the Queens Assembly member over the finish line in first.
The [Harlem-side] bike parking is placed in a counter-intuitive way. If you're arriving from Harlem, the natural inclination is to head toward the entrance, so there should be bike parking there.
