The Outspoken Cyclist (07/16/2025)
From host Diane Jenks:
In the second half of the show, I welcome back one of my favorite guests, NYC’s Professor John Surico. Every month, I receive his informative newsletter, Streetbeat, and every month I have an extensive list of questions that come out of it.
But, since we don’t talk every month, I compile my thoughts and fire off the most relevant ones for our on-air conversations.
Today, we chat about NYC’s mayoral election, the presumptive and somewhat controversial Democratic nominee, Zorhan Mamdani, and the candidate’s thoughts on NYC transportation issues. We also cover congestion pricing, the changes coming to Central Park, and more. As always, it’s enlightening!
As goes NYC so go many of the ideas for how cities might resolve some of their transportation, safety, and neighborhood issues.
