The city will cut Third Avenue under the Gowanus Expressway from six to eight car lanes down to four, adding barrier-protected bike lanes, with work starting next year between 62nd and 43rd streets.
Mayor Mamdani revived the Third Avenue overhaul that the Adams administration shelved in April 2025, two months after nurse Jiayi Zheng was killed by a hit-and-run driver at 55th Street. [73] Pedestrian islands and curb extensions will shorten crossings by up to half, and the bike lanes run along the center median, a change from the curbside plan, to keep clear of delivery trucks at storefronts. [73] Parking stays on both sides, and 60th Street gets a two-way bike lane linking Fourth Avenue to the waterfront greenway. [73]

“I don’t know if the plan can address the truck issues.”
GothamistAn e-bike battery started a fire in an 11th-floor apartment at 320 Morris Ave. in Mott Haven, killing a boy and leaving four relatives in critical condition; the bike sat by the exit.
The fire started around 12:50 a.m. Wednesday at NYCHA's Patterson Houses, and firefighters arrived within four minutes. [35][31] DISPUTED: Gothamist and City Limits put the boy's age at 11; NBC New York reported 10. [35][39] NYCHA's rules allow one battery charging at a time, an awake adult present, and the device more than 5 feet from a heating source and clear of entryways. [35] A neighbor said the father had the bike for two or three weeks. [29]
“It was placed in a spot in the kitchen that made it impossible for the residents to leave safely”
“Today is a horrific reminder of the danger that lithium-ion battery fires can pose”

The tallest mural in the United States now runs over 307 feet up NYCHA's Morrisania Air Rights tower in the South Bronx. [100] Artist Angurria built "Un MAR de Gente / From Every Shore" out of five months of resident workshops, and when a local Muslim girl asked to see a woman who wears a hijab like her, one went up. [100] "When we began we hoped to create the tallest mural in The Bronx," said Tanya Pedler, president of the MAR Resident Association. "Now, we’re celebrating the tallest mural in the United States."
