  6. My office hvac is broke. So I am remotely working from the #nyc greenways summit part of my day.

    Oh the joy of having the #NYCparks employee literally running from me because they don’t have a plan to fix the #HudsonRiverGreenway which succumbed to years of neglect and extreme rain and now has collapsed in a section.

    Now I bike on the #HarlemRiverGreenway — it isn’t far behind in collapsing from extreme rain.

    😭

  7. In my neighborhood, #NYCparks are replacing a (uptown #nyc neglected) grass field w #ArtificialTurf , a #UrbanHeatIsland exacerbater

    Parks ReplyGuy says new stuff uses coconut shells not rubber infill so is fine; But w/o évapotranspiration, I doubt it. Bare soil is bad too — the field def needs a rehab

    Plus plastic runoff. Sports injuries. Outgassing. Ick.

    I thought other cities were banning this stuff.

    Thoughts?

    Mark Levine #manhattan borough president is having a AMA Tuesday 9/10 at 2p:

    I am livid that I am still unable to do my bike commute because #nycparks through hubris and neglect allowed a sinkhole to take the path out— 18 months after closing said path and supposedly fixing it.

    Let’s tell him that bikes ARE transportation.

    We need the same sense of urgency to keep bike lanes safe and passable as cars get for highways.

    #nyc rips out trees and grass to put in #ArtificialTurf because it drains n is cheaper to maintain in spite of its contribution to #UrbanHeatIsland

    They assure you that it’s not the old AstroTurf— it has pads n coconut shells not rubber infill

    But plastic grass doesn’t evaporate moisture out of its leaves - évapotranspiration- so still gets hot enough to cook an egg

    NASA interns clocked some in nyc at 160F on an 85F day

  10. @KevinFreitas Its too bad that #NYCParks doesn't believe in permeable pavement. They are still using asphalt where they could use permeable grid pavers.

    At least #NYCDEP understands permeable pavement. Maybe #NYCDOT can get on board.

  11. A jumping spider (f. Salticidae) in the North Woods of Central Park in late May. This particular one was being a picky eater. It would grab one bug, pause for a moment, then drop it. It repeated this behavior for about 20 minutes before it finally settled on one that it actually wanted to eat.
