Screenshot from a streetsblog "mamdani answers to streetsblog mayoral candidate survey" page. "How would you make streets in your district safer for walking and biking? Do you support the city's construction of protected bike lanes? If so, why? If not, why not?" "The policy and infrastructure solutions to reduce traffic injuries and fatalities have been well known for years. The major obstacles to success have been a lack of political will and an administration that leverages street usage and design to broker political deals rather than advancing the wellbeing of New Yorkers. I strongly support the construction of protected bike lanes, and I will use the mayor’s full powers to implement vision zero solutions. This includes implementing all the available tools in the city’s current toolkit: pedestrianizing vast swaths of the congestion relief zone, streets near existing public open space, open streets and schools; implementing protecting bike lanes; creating a plan and timeline for building a true bike network and hardened daylighting at every intersection in the city; and more. To make sure infrastructure solutions can be implemented quickly and effectively, I will greatly expand the resources available to DOT to conduct this work." "pedestrianizing vast swaths of the congestion relief zone" is highlighted by me.

Mamdani wants to pedestrianize “vast swaths” of the new congestion pricing zone, along with streets near public open space and schools. It’s an ambitious vision, though not impossible. Paris has transformed even more radically than New York, turning a highway into park space, planting tens of thousands of parking spaces with trees, closing more than 100 streets to cars, charging SUVs extra to park, and making rush hour look more like Copenhagen, with streets filled with bikes. Other cities have also reshaped around pedestrians, like Barcelona, which now has several car-free superblocks.

Tech companies have plenty of bad ideas they say will improve transportation — but the car remains a menace.

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with @BrooklynSpoke and @sgoodyear to discuss the many ways cars harm society and why that must change.
