"Together, we can create a more livable, walkable, bikeable, equitable and enjoyable city for all. Happy holidays from the Streetsblog team! From the kickoff of congestion pricing on Jan. 5 to a Queens judge going rogue and demanding the city remove a bike lane in early December, it was a huge year for news ... and Streetsblog was there every step of the way."
"One of the great challenges faced by the city Department of Transportation is that local officials and community boards often grandstand and lie to block basic street safety projects that agency officials know - and have fully conveyed - will improve our city. But the very opposite dynamic played out all year when advocates and politicians championed the street safety design known as daylighting - which has been so successful in so many places - only to find DOT denouncing the advocacy community and supportive pols."
Streetsblog requests tax-deductible donations to support reporters and editors who promote efforts to end car dependency and improve urban livability. The fundraiser offers a special gift for major supporters and emphasizes free, high-quality journalism amid an era of paywalls. Coverage highlighted major transportation events, including the kickoff of congestion pricing and a judge ordering removal of a bike lane. Sustainable transport became a political target in Washington and local conflicts arose over street safety designs like daylighting. The Department of Transportation released a contested study on daylighting, prompting pushback from advocates, the City Council, and DOT staff.
