Bagels that have just come out of the oven at your favorite bagel spot is truly one of life’s greatest pleasures. Toasting it is a crime against nyc.

Nothing says #EarthWeek like a 🚴 ride along the Vanderbilt Motor Parkway in Eastern Queens! Not only do we need to extend the parkway across Queens, we need to ensure all our communities have clean water, breathable air and access to beautiful open spaces like this one. (1/2)

The growing rate of traffic crash fatalities in the first quarter of 2024 is deeply concerning. Keeping NYers safe from traffic violence is paramount, and @NYCCouncil will continue to prioritize actions that make our streets safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists alike.

And a low TDI benefit! Paid sick leave is supposed to be a meaningful wage replacement, but it's been capped at $170/week since 1989. How is anyone supposed to pay their rent and navigate our hellish healthcare system with that?

It’s official! Sammy’s law has passed! Now New York City will be able to set its own speed limits and save lives. We owe a deep debt of gratitude to Amy Cohen, Safe Streets, and all of the advocates who pushed for this important change. Sammy, this one's for you.

I covered Sammy’s death and was at the scene moments after. So young. Just chasing a ball like I did as a kid a million times. Truly inspired by his mom’s advocacy. May his memory — and safety legislation it inspired — be a blessing. nydailynews.com/2013/10/09/bro…

Sammy's Law -- the bill that will allow NYC to lower its default speed limit to 20 mph -- will be part of the state budget, with a caveat making clear it doesn't apply to roads with three or more lanes of traffic in one direction. gothamist.com/news/lawmakers…

NEWS: Sammy’s Law will finally pass! This wouldn't have been possible without the advocacy of Amy Cohen, @NYC_SafeStreets members, and countless others for their unending commitment. We won’t stop fighting until everyone can get around without fear of death or serious injury.

Saving lives is what #SammysLaw is all about. As the Assembly sponsor, I am proud that the NY State budget of 2024 enshrines his legacy and that of countless others killed in car crashes by creating safer streets citywide. #SafeStreetsNow

I’m sorry to share that another child has been hit by a car on their way to school on Northern & Junction. Thankfully the child survived, but we are days away from finalizing a budget that fails to pass Sammy’s Law or implement scramble crosswalks. This can’t continue.
