Wednesday’s Headlines: Decision 2024 Edition

Skip the race for the White House, here's the livable streets news you need.

It was a long night.

You didn't come here to hear about Donald Trump or Kamala Harris (though let's blame Gov. Hochul for something, amirite?), so before we spend all day looking at county-by-county numbers, let's get to the non-presidential news from yesterday:

  • First, let's recap what a great job our reporters did yesterday:
    • Komanoff outlined a street safety plan that depends on reining in delivery workers' mileage.
    • Dave Colon revealed that the state Department of Transportation may not fully destroy the Bronx with a highway parallel to the Cross-Bronx.
  • Second, it's not too late to start thinking about what happens to congestion pricing if Donald Trump does indeed lock this thing up. (No link; just sayin')
  • This whole Giuliani car thing is ridiculous. (NY Post, NY Times)
  • Paris is still eating our lunch. (Bloomberg)
  • And, finally, you gotta love this video of a wedding on the subway! (Via Twitter)
