In August, Phillipe Haussmann was killed by a driver on Scott & Flushing Aves. Right before Thanksgiving, the family of Phillippe with @CMJenGutierrez and reps from @BKBPReynoso, BKCB1 &4, @NYC_SafeStreets @TransAlt @NBk_TA, joined @NYC_DOT on a walk of the area.
Yesterday evening, our members got together for a picnic on @Gov_Island It was a magical evening of community building and recommitting to the work of saving lives.
The most fitting memorial for people killed on US roads isn’t ghost bikes or flowers. It’s bollards and jersey barriers. It’s narrow streets, wide sidewalks and protected bike lanes. It’s laws that set the mobility and safety of people over the throughput and storage of cars.
I follow several parents on Xitter who have lost their children to road violence. I think about them a lot. The automobile industry, and their handmaidens, US DOTs have worked hard to normalize road deaths and shift the blame from those doing the killing to those doing the dying.

I'm continually amazed that if an at-fault driver who kills someone remains at the scene, the final statement from the press is almost always: 'the driver stayed at the scene and is cooperating...' as if they are such a conscientious person.

”What’s really striking,” @paulkrugman writes, “is how few people actually stand to benefit from New Jersey’s attempt to block or delay congestion charges.” nyti.ms/44vMych
Haven't people like Amy Cohen and Fabiola Mendieta paid a high enough price? @Carl Heastie - do right by the families who lose over 250 loved ones a year in NYC and bring this to a vote.
Hour 72 of Amy and Fabiola's hunger strike for Sammy's Law. They aren't giving up. We aren't giving up. @GovKathyHochul, @NYCMayor, @NYCCouncil, @AARPNY + more all support this. We have 36 NYC co-sponsors and 55 total sponsors. No more excuses @CarlHeastie Let's get it done.
It's hour 74 of Amy and Fabiola's hunger strike and your calls are working. Keep them up. Every call to Speaker Heastie counts. (518) 455-3791
All of #NYC (which includes kids, young adults & families) deserve safe streets. NYC should be able to lower its own speed limits so it can save lives. It's why we called @CarlHeastie to ask why he refuses to bring Sammy's Law to a vote. Can you ask him, too? (518) 455-3791
You not only don’t hold the auto industry accountable for well over 40,000 violent deaths a year and climate destruction you subsidize this already hugely profitable industry. @SecretaryPete this isn’t right
No more delay. It's time for Congressional action to hold railroad companies accountable.
According to Kyrsten Sinema’s latest tax filings, her net worth is estimated to be over $11 MILLION. As a Senator, her annual salary is only around $180,000. Can someone explain how this is possible? 🧐
“Thank you @GovKathyHochul - we know the Complete Streets Funding Bill will save lives across NY State.” @NYC_SafeStreets
Great meeting Crown Heights neighbor and former DOT deputy commissioner @TogetherRyan at the @TransAlt Vision Zero opening reception, which was kicked off by Ydanis Rodriguez, @Sen_Gounardes, @jessicaramos, @JanetLiff and @judyfss!
I used to be one of the only Vision Zero advocates I knew who hadn't lost an immediate family member to traffic violence. I can't say that anymore. My uncle Jim was killed by a driver while riding his bike. We cannot stop fighting until this stops happening.
EXCLUSIVE: 75-year-old Be Tran killed by hit & run driver last night in Queens, while finishing last food delivery for the night. His daughters begged him not to work. They worried for him. But he kept working for his family. - "The last message I got from him was don't worry."
A must read by @NYC_SafeStreets member Dana Lerner. "The people in our lives expected that we'd eventually morph back into our old selves. In our grief, we were being stigmatized as we tried to bear the unbearable." psychotherapynetworker.org/magazine/artic…
It's offensive to victims of road traffic who were not at fault for @DouthatNYT say that learning to drive well or 'just well enough is a tonic for anxiety, an antidote to...chaos' Ross Douthat, you are no expert.
On Thursday, a cyclist was killed by a tow truck driver in the Bronx. On Saturday, a cyclist was killed by an MTA bus driver in Queens. Today, a pedestrian was killed by an SUV driver on the sidewalk in Brooklyn. Mayor Adams has not commented.
"If this is a tax, this is the easiest tax to avoid. Don't go 11 miles per hour over the speed limit!" -@agounardes 🔥
"Speed cameras save lives." Right now, @agounardes leads the debate in the @NYSenate before the chamber votes on strengthening the speed safety camera program to 24/7 operation. Tune in ➡️ nysenate.gov
