Mayor Mamdani Announces Completion of McGuinness Boulevard Redesign in Greenpoint, Brooklyn

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani and New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) Commissioner Mike Flynn have announced the completion of the McGuinness Boulevard redesign in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The project delivers parking-protected bike lanes along the entire corridor, from Meeker Avenue to the Pulaski Bridge. This redesign aims to enhance safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers by shortening pedestrian crossing distances, slowing turning vehicles, and preventing dangerous driving.

Mayor Mamdani had committed to completing the original redesign shortly after his inauguration in January, a project long championed by neighborhood residents and advocates, particularly the 'Make McGuinness Safe' coalition, following traffic fatalities on the boulevard.

St. Paul Residents Demand Safer Streets After Fatal Pedestrian Crash Near Highland Bridge

Residents of St. Paul's Highland Park neighborhood are demanding enhanced pedestrian safety measures following a fatal collision near the Highland Bridge redevelopment.

Bridgeport Launches 'Complete Streets' Initiative to Enhance Travel Safety and Convenience

The City of Bridgeport has launched the 'Bridgeport: Connected' initiative, a 'Complete Streets' program aimed at improving safety and convenience for all modes of travel within the city. This program, developed in collaboration with Smart Growth America, focuses on creating streets that are safer and more accessible for pedestrians, cyclists, and public transit users, in addition to motorists. The initiative seeks to shift away from traditional street designs that prioritize fast car travel, which are often deemed unsafe for other road users. Key features of the 'Complete Streets' approach include the implementation of sidewalks, safer crosswalks, bike lanes, accessible bus stops, improved lighting and signage, traffic calming measures, and safer intersections. The city is actively gathering feedback from residents about their experiences with walking, rolling, biking, and using transit to inform these improvements. 'Bridgeport: Connected' also includes a social media content series to help residents and ...

Warren County Commissioners Consider Road Closure Amidst 371-Home Development Traffic Concerns

Warren County Commissioners Consider Road Closure Amidst 371-Home Development Traffic Concerns

Warren County Commissioners are evaluating options for a section of Mounts Road in Hamilton Township, Ohio, specifically near the Salt Run Preserve, a planned 371-lot residential development. Warren County Engineer Kurt Weber presented alternatives during a recent commissioners meeting, highlighting that the existing road is narrow, features sharp curves, and poses potential safety risks as development progresses. The Salt Run Preserve currently has a few homes built, but the development is anticipated to significantly increase traffic in the area. Weber suggested keeping the current roadway in place for now and eventually installing a gate to prevent through traffic once another planned road connection is completed. This proposal aims to avoid a $1.4 million expenditure for road improvements, which would increase the overall project cost from $4.2 million to $5.6 million.

Memphis Implements New Parking and Biking Pattern on North Parkway for Enhanced Safety

Memphis Implements New Parking and Biking Pattern on North Parkway for Enhanced Safety

The City of Memphis has introduced a new parking and biking pattern on North Parkway, following a resurfacing project completed by the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) between Danny Thomas Boulevard and East Parkway. The roadway has been restriped to incorporate parking-protected bike lanes. Under the new configuration, the bike lane is now positioned closest to the curb, with a floating parking lane established between the bike lane and vehicle travel lanes. This change means drivers wishing to park on North Parkway must now use this designated floating lane. The previous setup had the bike lane alongside vehicle travel lanes, with parking adjacent to the curb. Temporary signs have been installed along North Parkway to guide drivers on the new parking arrangements.

City of London Corporation Approves Permanent Black Cab Access Through Bank Junction

City of London Corporation Approves Permanent Black Cab Access Through Bank Junction

The City of London Corporation has voted to make permanent the trial allowing licensed black cabs to access Bank Junction on weekdays, specifically for east-west travel between Poultry and Cornhill. This decision reverses previous restrictions implemented in 2017 that banned most traffic, including taxis, from the junction during peak hours (7 am to 7 pm, Monday to Friday). The trial, which began in July 2025, was initiated against officers' advice. A report assessing the trial's impact presented mixed findings, noting improvements in taxi availability around Bank but also indicating a potential increase in annual casualties, though no recorded collision involved a taxi. A public consultation revealed overwhelming support for continued black cab access, with 88% of nearly 4,000 respondents in favor, largely comprising taxi drivers and passengers.
