The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.
You may have noticed that our daily newsletter has been sponsored for the last few weeks by Parks and Trails New York, a statewide group that promotes recreational cycling all over the aptly named Empire State.
But have you clicked on the ad? If not, click here to check out the two group rides currently being offered this summer: The Erie Canal (July 11-19) and the Hudson Valley (Aug. 3-8).
I’ve personally biked along the Erie Canal (though not all 400 miles!) and found it exhilarating. So why not get back in the saddle with some great people and a great group?
And now, back to our regularly scheduled newsletter, topped with great news for bus riders from the Mamdani administration.
President Trump sort of inadvertently made an argument for banning horse carriages from Central Park on Thursday when he critiicized the City Council’s 40-7-2 vote to end the Central Park horse carriage industry with an ill-conceived analogy to cars.
The city’s much-anticipated program to require speed-limiting devices inside the cars of repeatedly reckless drivers will launch next year, though questions remain.
