Bill de Blasio

A huge slate of local elected officials led by Mayor de Blasio blasted Senate Republicans for failing to renew and expand the speed camera program, which expires on July 25.

Glick's constituents lost in the state budget, forking over money without getting the traffic reduction benefits of congestion pricing.

"Your voices are the only thing that will change the status quo in Albany right now," Mayor de Blasio told Families for Safe Streets at a rally this afternoon.

State lawmakers have again introduced legislation to classify e-bikes as bicycles, rather than motor vehicles. Council Member Rafael Espinal has authored a resolution in support of the Albany bill, and is calling on the mayor to stop targeting commercial cyclists.

A plan that doesn't toll drivers crossing the East River - drawing a cordon around the heart of Midtown, for instance - might appease congestion pricing opponents like Eastern Queens Assembly Member David Weprin, but it won't deliver the regionally significant traffic reduction that a plan like Move NY would.

De Blasio's proposal for a millionaires tax to fund transit may or may not win him some short-term political points, but it's definitely muddling the message that voters need to hear: Governor Cuomo runs the subways and should pay for fixing them.

If you think transit riders would be well-served by de Blasio meekly going along with Cuomo's demands, look at what happened the last time the two struck a bargain on transit.

A legal scholar says NYC has the authority to toll its own roads and bridges, which could raise revenue for transit.

Between them, Cuomo and de Blasio have the power to dramatically accelerate New York City's progress on climate goals. But doing so will require making policy choices that the governor and mayor have shirked or avoided so far.
