\"It's — It’s our December donation drive. Click this link<\/a> to donate.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
We know \u2014 times are tough. So maybe you’ve been seeing our “donation” logo on all our stories and thought, “Oh, gee, I wish I could help Streetsblog \u2014 I really do. But I’m a bit short this month because ______________ (insert timely excuse here).”<\/p>\n
Well, how about a material donation?<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Friend of Streetsblog Michael King \u2014 the urban planner behind the Traffic Calmer website<\/a> \u2014 made our *year<\/em> by donating an old folding bike to us so we can always have an easy way to get around when news breaks.<\/p>\n*
We really appreciate it, so we’ll start today’s benefactor honor roll with our thanks to Michael. And here are the other people to whom we owe gratitude today: Thanks, Daniel! Thanks, Robert! Thanks, David! Thanks, Sarah (and thanks for recognizing us on the street yesterday)! Thanks, Rachel!<\/p>\n
*In other news:<\/p>\n*

Sorry, but this West Village pickleball ban is a big deal. We realize that park space is limited \u2014 but that’s the point. We simply need more space for recreation so that all people can do what they want to do, instead of fighting each other for scraps. (Gothamist<\/a>)<\/li>\n
Hat tip to Hell Gate<\/a> for running John Surico’s deep dive on the MTA’s (and its riders’) woes.<\/li>\n
Reminder: Cruise ships are an ecological nightmare, not that the Daily News<\/a> covered that angle in its gushing coverage of Mayor Adams’s shipping news yesterday.<\/li>\n
Council Member Lincoln Restler has a bill that would cap the number of days film crews could take over a neighborhood, but it’s weird that the Post’s coverage<\/a> didn’t mention that the Council has long sought this very restriction (as our old man editor pointed out with this 2011 article<\/a> from his old paper \u2014 man, old people are so annoying sometimes).<\/li>\n
Here’s your daily “moron in a Tesla.” (Reddit<\/a>)<\/li>\n
City Planning Commissioner Leah Goodridge really kicked up a storm with her Twitter thread on the notion of a car-free city. It’s a bit of a straw man, because even we at Streetsblog are not seeking a 100-percent car-free city! We just want to reduce a\u00a0lot<\/em> of the driving that’s going on, dramatically reduce road deaths to zero, reclaim our neighborhoods from car sewers, help bus riders, and give kids back some of the independence we had when we were little. If that’s controversial, well, so be it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
When I first saw \u201cMake Cities Car-free\u201d I scratched my head. <\/p>\n
No cars at all? Why would we do that?<\/p>\n
This is a hot topic in global city planning. <\/p>\n
And a very contentious one. Let\u2019s talk about it! ? pic.twitter.com\/24cp1FYLpe<\/a><\/p>\n
