Today’s newsletter sponsored by Parks and Trails New York. Click here for some great bike trips.

The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.

Hate to break it to you, but we’re back to a long, hot grind until Labor Day, so at least we can get you up to speed from your World Cup/Taylor Swift/July 4/heat wave languor with all the news that we print to cause fits.

Kevin Duggan leads the page with news today, but check out high school kid Blake Walker tossing in a Big Vision Story.

Plus today’s headlines.

Don’t miss tonight’s USA-Belgium game. Some of us will be watching at American Cheez on Seventh Avenue in Park Slope.
