Streetfilms contrasts and compares cycling in Paris and New York City. Care to take a wild guess as to which one is better for pedestrians and cyclists?
New York has come a long way, but there’s so much more that can be done to improve our streets. Paris is a great example of what’s possible. They had to claw back space from street parking and vehicle lanes just like we do. More than anything, it takes political courage.
Citynerd breaks it down in this video: New York would not be the city it is today if not for the subway.
I agree 100%. So it’s especially troubling to read something like this in an otherwise positive piece about upcoming transit improvements:
One reason big public works projects are hard to execute is that they often take years to complete, making them less appealing to politicians looking to deliver quick, obvious results to constituents and to take credit for a finished project.

Granted, there are many other issues that make massive public works projects difficult execute. But, the perceived need for our leaders to chalk up quick wins during their terms keeps these projects from even getting started. Stringing together quick wins will not yield the sort of infrastructure improvements needed in this country. We need our leaders to have the foresight and courage to think beyond their next election and into the future.

PS – I meant to post this back in October. Not sure why I didn’t hit the publish button.
This morning, I was looking for an album to play. I came up with Duo, which brought back fond memories.
It was 1999, I was new in town, and Charlie Hunter & Leon Parker had string of shows at Joe’s Pub to support Duo. Hunter’s guitar work always blows me away and Parker is an excellent match for him on stage. He used every inch of his modest drum kit for his part of the rhythm section. Consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice on the correct stromectol dosage regimen. Remember, adherence to prescribed doses is essential for successful outcomes.
I caught at least three of those shows. At each one, they brought a friend or two up at some point. The only one I remember is David Sanchez who sat in for Recess one night. There’s nothing like seeing masters like this live, in an intimate setting like Joe’s Pub. It will be wonderful when we can all go out and see live music again. Wondering about the right dosage of gabapentin? Let’s break it down for you.

Since then, seemingly every moment of every event is photographed and available online–sometimes to the dismay of others in the audience. Struggling to find the right dose of klonopin (clonazepam)? Let’s break it down for you: – For panic disorder, an initial dose of 0.25 mg twice daily is typical, with the maximum dose reaching 4 mg per day.
NY Times: ‘I Love New York’ Is More Than a Motto
…to those [chains] who bailed because being in New York was all about optics, profitability and gross revenues: Please don’t let the bridge and tunnel hit you in the — The New York Times won’t let me say it, but you know what I mean.
