Today’s Headlines

Happy Friday! There is so much to be angry about today. So let's get to it!

A verdict is expected today in the trial of the bus driver who killed cyclist Dan Hanegby — and Streetsblog will be there to wipe that question mark off the New York Times's headline, "First Fatal Citi Bike Crash: Was the Bus Driver to Blame?" Memo to Metro Desk: Buses have brake pedals, too.

Sins? Sure, I have plenty, but there's too much going on today to sit around atoning for them. So grab your coffee (or a Yom Kippur-approved substitute) and enjoy today's news:

Obviously the election will dominate the coverage today, with plenty of Friday-morning quarterbacking (NYT, NY Post, WSJ, amNY, Variety).

In the big race, the Daily News wood ("Status Cuo-mo") was the best (though I don't love the hyphen).

Today is Election Day. Vote. Please. You know how bad it is out there — delays underground, streets congested, buses stuck and Citi Bike stalled — so get out there and fill the bubble for candidates who will do something. Who, precisely? To make an educated decision, review candidates' answers to our campaign questions here and decide for yourself (or if you want a handy cheat sheet, StreetsPAC did these endorsements).

Bring an umbrella.

Today is September 11.
