Mass transit in our nation’s biggest metro area is quite literally crumbling all around us, but our leaders are expanding highways and canceling congestion pricing (which would fund billions in transit improvements). There’s not even a word to describe how upset this makes me.

Hilarious that he’s concerned about congestion pricing having “outsized environmental burdens on certain North Jersey communities” while currently supporting an $11B highway expansion in those very same communities. That ain’t how any of this works, Gov.

Today’s decision by @USDOT to allow New York’s congestion pricing plan to move forward is unfair and ill-advised. I support congestion pricing conceptually, but it must be fair to all sides. Placing an unjustified financial burden on hardworking New Jersey commuters is wrong.

$11bn expansion of NJ Turnpike Extension "will have little to no impact on local communities" and "“will have no pollution impact”. 🤔 HEADLINE: "Here’s what the environmental impact report says about this massive N.J. Turnpike widening project"

Your regular reminder that @NJTurnpike wants to use eminent domain and $4.7 billion to make this highway, I78, wider. It goes through densely populated areas by playgrounds and schools. Just adding loads of pollution and making a mockery of @GovMurphy ’s climate goals. Nbd.

Great news: @GovMurphy is insisting on widening the NJ Turnpike which leads directly into this Holland Tunnel mess. Surely that will solve things! 🙃 We’ve gotta stop the @TurnpikeTrap at all costs.

Well, this was entirely predictable 🙄 It is imperative that there be a physical barrier at the ends of each block to prevent cars from being able to pull down into the bike lane. Flex post don’t count! Real bollards only.

Being an advocate often feels like constantly screaming into a void. JFK Blvd and St. Paul’s Avenue are arguably the 2 roads that we’ve made the most noise about for being hostile and unsafe. Should we surprised that a fatal crash occurred at their intersection? No. Angry? YES.
