The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.

The big story today will be the release of Mayor Mamdani’s “Vision Zero Reimagined,” a 54-page blueprint for the next phase of the street safety initiative launched by former Mayor Bill de Blasio.

There’s a lot of promises made in the document, but not many specifics. Hizzoner will meet the press today at 2, so we’ll have even more coverage later.

Also in today’s newsletter, an analysis of the Department of Transportation’s new bus route map and a look at a wave of new electric car charging ports that are coming to public space near you.
