Slide outlining a proposed street design for 24th to 26th Street on 3rd Ave. It details three-lane operation for traffic calming, an 11-foot super sidewalk for pedestrians, a 9-foot parking-protected bike lane for cyclist safety, and an 11-foot bus-only lane to enhance bus efficiency. The slide includes a cross-sectional graphic illustrating lane allocation, and an image of a similar existing setup on 9th Avenue in Manhattan, showing pedestrians, cyclists, and street life.
#1: Zellnor Myrie The most pro-housing candidate. I’m ranking him first to show that housing is my top priority. #2 Brad Lander We’re aligned on nearly all issues, and he brings deep managerial experience. #3 Zohran Mamdani We agree on most policies, and he’s becoming increasingly pro-housing. He just has less executive experience than others. #4 Adrienne Adams As Speaker, she led New York City’s biggest pro-housing zoning reform in decades as Council Speaker. #5 NOT CUOMO I’ll likely rank Jessica Ramos here, but what’s most important is that Cuomo isn’t on your ballot!

The image shows a sign posted on a glass door inside a facility. The sign reads: "There are NO public restrooms in this facility!!! Thanks Management!!!" In the background, part of the interior of the facility is visible, including a bulletin board with the text "Welcome to AES," some decorations, and a blue-framed doorway leading to an outdoor area.
