Mayor Adams needs to get out of the Department of Transportation's way and let them do their job. Two years ago, DOT unveiled an ambitious Curb Management Action Plan to make the space in between the travel lane and sidewalks work better for all New Yorkers, including drivers. Better curb management strategies, bus lanes, and bike lanes help drivers in the long run by reducing traffic, making our streets safer, and making parking more readily available.

Different neighborhood, same story. The city is once again halting a modest proposal for unprotected bike lanes in Brooklyn, this time in Midwood, after the all-too-familiar backlash from some car-focused locals. Department of Transportation honchos recently told local electeds they would pause the proposed network of unprotected bike lane in the southern Brooklyn's Community Board 14 that has been in the works for at least four years, frustrating residents who want to safely travel around without a car.

"Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy told employees in an email Tuesday that the department is launching a consolidation initiative, dubbed 1DoT, to "streamline our processes, consolidate administrative functions and modernize our infrastructure to better serve the American public."

The city Department of Transportation is hiring deckhands for the Staten Island Ferry, offering a salary range of $57,991-$66,690 for part-time positions.

Drivers in New York City should be cautious of fake QR code stickers on parking meters that lead to scams for credit card information, warns DOT.
