- 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)
