We're reimagining Broadway from Union Square to Columbus Circle!   The latest phase of Broadway Vision from 17th St-21st St is officially complete, with a new plaza, public seating & two-way bike connections. Stay tuned for outreach on the next phase later this year.

I am now part of the latest bloodbath at New York Public Radio. It was the best 32 years of my life. Thanks to listeners who helped make it meaningful, to colleagues who work so very hard & to the amazing Jeff Spurgeon, who made me a better broadcaster every single day.

Visited NYC DOT's new 1st Ave #bikenyc express route ("the UNGA Tunnel") and grabbed a few quick clips to further explain to all how it works. For those wondering you can stay local above on 1st Ave or go express from 41st to 49th. Fun! Streetsblog New York Open Plans Bike New York
