A weekly roundup of good deeds, missteps, heroic feats and epic failures in tri-state transportation news.

Winners

Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano, Nassau County Legislature Presiding Officer Norma Gonsalves and Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton – Nassau County became the 10th municipality on Long Island to support safer streets when the Legislature voted unanimously Monday to adopt a Complete Streets policy. The legislation was proposed by Mangano but was successful thanks to bi-partisan support from DeRiggi-Whitton and Gonsalves.

NYS Adriano Espaillat and NYC Council Candidate Mark Levine — Espaillat and Levine wrote to NYCDOT Janette Sadik-Khan to express their continued support for Select Bus Service along 125th Street in Harlem.

Rutherford Green Team and NJDOT —  NJDOT recently completed a comprehensive bicycle and pedestrian study in the Borough of Rutherford, which was first proposed by the Rutherford Green Team.

New Haven Dept. of Transportation, Traffic & Parking – The City of New Haven is trying to re-teach drivers how to open car doors to avoid “dooring” a cyclist.

Losers

AAA — Even though mayoral candidates are paying more and more attention to street safety, and despite the fact that its own research says otherwise, the American Automobile Association insists that speeding in New York City isn’t a problem.

New Jersey Transit riders — If Howell Township Mayor Bill Gotto and State Senator Robert Singer are successful in their advocacy to convert the shoulder of Route 9 into a travel lane for general traffic, New Jersey Transit riders will never benefit from a proposed exclusive bus lane on that section of the corridor.

Brooklyn Community Board 10 — Newly-elected CB10 chair Brian Kieran issued a report that laid out opposition to the Fourth Avenue road diet. The report, instead, proposes raised speed reducers, which are categorically inappropriate for an arterial like the street in question.
