Is it too much to ask that #writers and on-air #localnews “talent” in #nyc have a basic familiarity with our major #roadways ? In announcing a reopening of the #BQE after a morning #accident #wabctv noon #anchor David Novarro said the accident occurred at “Tillary Avenue.” It’s Tillary STREET! Hardly a minor thoroughfare in #Downtown #brooklyn. It may be a minor thing, but I find it irksome. #news #newyorkcity

Fingers crossed that this city drags its feet, the #BQE becomes "irreparably damaged", and then they close it down forever with no replacement planned.

I mean, the aforementioned being said the #BQE is ready to die. I used to listen to it moan at night. It needs work. /2 end

Mayor Adams Has Leverage to Force a Reluctant State DOT to Budge on the BQE https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2023/02/21/opinion-mayor-adams-has-leverage-to-force-a-reluctant-state-dot-to-budge-on-the-bqe/ #bqe #nyc

RT @CMJenGutierrez
Today, I joined 16 Brooklyn colleagues to urge @SecretaryPete and @USDOT to support maintaining 2 lanes of traffic in each direction on the #BQE.

Creating more lanes of traffic is in direct conflict with our environmental justice goals, and not what our communities need.

Re the #BQE: @EPA@twitter.com @HUDgov@twitter.com @ENERGY@twitter.com & @USDOT@twitter.com have a Transportation Decarbonization plan. “Every decision about transportation is also an opportunity to build a cleaner, healthier, more prosperous future. When our air is cleaner... we are all better off.” - says @PeteButtigieg@twitter.com. 1/
