The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.

OK, obviously we’re being a little cheeky with our subject line and preview sentence — yes, of course, we realize that the Knicks win last night was the big story of the day.

But we won’t be outshone! Today’s newsletter is filled with highlight-film-worthy moments, such as the overwhelming support for the 72nd Street bike lane from Manhattan congressional candidates.

And you’ll want to turn our coverage of the Brad Lander-Dan Goldman primary battle into a sharable gif, too.

And don’t miss our call to turn the Gowanus Canal Zone into a “low-traffic neighborhood” now that the city has decided to bar cars from the newly restored Carroll Street Bridge.

It’s all here, and more. Now, get out there with your orange and blue.
