Monday’s Headlines: Adams’s 100 Days Edition

The weekend was filled with anodyne report card stories timed to the artificial benchmark of Mayor Adams's 100th day in office on Sunday:

None of the stories played up the central failing of the Adams administration: Road deaths are up, street safety improvements are slow to materialize, and the mayor has not made nearly enough announcements of things to come (that said, we were glad to see the Post do a separate, non-100-days story on the rise in road deaths this year).

    • One of the subway system's newest stations is already a dank mess. (NY Post)
    • Bronx residents want better commutes. (Bronx Times)
    • Former federal transit man Larry Penner urges transit agencies to apply for federal money. It's sitting right there. (Mass Transit)
