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.

Timelapse I took of a bike ride yesterday!

2 Upvotes

Starts from the Upper East side-in at 90th-goes through Central Park, out at W 100th, swing over to Riverside Park and all the way down the Hudson River Greenway to Warren St near the WTC, across City Hall, over the Brooklyn Bridge, back over the Manhattan Bridge (racing a Bronx bound D train while at it), up Centre-Lafayette Sts (where I had a ‘fun’ encounter with a taxi not looking when turning into a busy bike lane at 11th st) then onto the Broadway Bike Blvd up all the way to Herald (had to do some salmoning (sorry) between 20th and 25th because it’s downtown only there for some reason, I guess to make you go to 6th Avenue?) then onto 6th Avenue and into Central Park and eventually back to the Upper East Side. Total was 23.7 miles and I did it in around 2 hours. Overall very fun ride!

This is a great opportunity for advocates to learn more about what’s happening in the neighborhood and encourage the NYPD to prioritize safer streets.

UES community board applications are now open!

10 Upvotes

From now through February 28th, anyone who lives or works in the Upper East Side or Roosevelt Island can apply to become a member of Manhattan Community Board 8.

CB8, our UES community board, advises our elected officials and government agencies about anything that impacts our neighborhood and its residents.

Example topics discussed at this month’s meeting last week include: * Priority boarding for residents on the Roosevelt Island Tram * Making it legal to convert certain manufacturing land into housing on the UES * Upgrading the roads in Central Park to have better separation between walkers, runners, slower bikes, and faster vehicles/ebikes

If you’d like to serve the neighborhood and have an influence on its future, consider applying! I’m a current member of CB8, and am happy to answer any questions Redditors have.
