"We were going to give Mayor Adams a pass after the city issued its annual Mayor's Management Report for fiscal year 2025 (also known as July 2024 through June 2025). We felt we didn't need to pile on because we've already reported so many measures of how badly Mayor Adams is building bike lanes, how slowly he's building bus lanes, how he decides on safety measures based on vibes, and how corruptly he is overseeing the public process of making the city safer."
"Very few bus lanes: Adams built only 5.5 miles in the last fiscal year, which is down 65 percent from the previous year. He's nowhere close to meeting the 30 miles of dedicated bus lane mandated by the Streets Plan law. Not much bike parking: The Adams administration built half as many bike parking spaces last year as it did the year before."
Fewer bike lanes were built, marking the second-worst year since 2015, with 2023 being the worst. Only 5.5 miles of bus lanes were added, a 65 percent drop from the prior year, far short of the 30-mile Streets Plan mandate. New bike parking spaces fell by half, the fewest since 2020. Speed hump installations were halved. The city vehicle fleet size increased and collisions involving city vehicles rose slightly, raising concerns about civil settlement costs. Total reported crashes in FY2025 were 87,136 with 51,068 injuries, an 8-percent and 7-percent decline respectively from the prior year; causes of the decline remain unanalyzed.
