Streetsblog will be on a light publishing schedule today. All our editors and reporters are in NYC for our annual business strategy and planning session. We also have a crack team of freelancers covering Scott Stringer’s transportation conference and will bring you highlights and analysis on Monday.

And one more thing: Thanks to everyone who made it out to Bike Habitat in Brooklyn last night for our “Streets of the Future” benefit! We had a blast.
