Yesterday, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that he's moving forward with the removal of the Sheridan Expressway, a 1.25-mile Moses-era highway that cuts off South Bronx neighborhoods from the Bronx River waterfront.

Felder has introduced a bill that would raise the speed limit on Ocean Parkway to 30 miles per hour, exempting the street from NYC’s citywide 25 mph limit.

Governor Cuomo wants to cut $65 million from the state's annual contribution to the MTA. An analysis by the Riders Alliance and Regional Plan Association identifies transit improvements that money could pay for.

Five years ago, Cuomo promised to allocate $320 million annually to the MTA to make up for cutting one of the agency's dedicated revenue streams. At the time, advocates warned that Cuomo wouldn't keep his promise for long. They were right: This year the governor's draft budget calls for a $65 million cut to MTA funding.

There's plenty Albany lawmakers can do this year to improve transit and make streets safer.

Just as NYC is poised to get a better understanding of how the burgeoning ride-hail industry is affecting streets and traffic, Cuomo's Uber bill could deliver a major setback.

Andrew Cuomo personally intervened to get the Second Avenue Subway running by January 1. But when it comes to the less flashy task of getting the whole subway system to run reliably, the governor is nowhere to be seen.

On fare hike day, straphangers should remember that Cuomo broke a promise that would have helped keep money in their pockets.

Since it was built in the 1950s, the elevated highway has stifled downtown and separated it from Syracuse University. Removing it could be a transformative city-building project, but Cuomo is waffling.
