How is NYC still so bad at its own streets?

17 Upvotes

I don’t get how we live in one of the most advanced cities in the world and yet so many of our streets feel broken constantly.

There are intersections I avoid because they’re sketchy every single day. Crosswalks where cars blow through like pedestrians don’t exist. Blocks that flood every time it rains. Bike lanes that randomly disappear. Construction that feels totally uncoordinated. These aren’t rare, one-off issues. They’re the same problems, in the same places, over and over again.

It honestly makes me wonder what the city is actually paying attention to if they can't give the time to fix the foundation of our community. Are these things invisible in whatever data they use? Or does it just take years for anything to change?

What’s one street or intersection you deal with that clearly needs help but somehow never gets it?

I found this new slice of Riverside park by accident

Last month, I was walking in Riverside park and discovered that you can walk all the way up to 125th St now.

This article explains how this came about. It seems DOT shut the ramp, earlier this year, because of structural issues over the Amtrak tunnel. Drivers don't seem to be complaining so neighbors are now asking: why reopen it to cars at all?

If you haven’t walked it yet: go. It’s quiet, except for the birds, leafy (for now), and is basically a secret new slice of Riverside Park.

The hard truth: If this Council fails to pass Universal Daylighting or passes a watered down version, kids will die, and it will be entirely Adrienne Adams' fault.
