The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.

The NYPD installed a haywire speed alert sign in Central Park in an attempt to educate cyclists on the eve of next week’s 15-mile-per-hour speed limit. But as Nolan Hicks found out, the sign only spewed misinformation.

Plus, make sure you don’t miss Dave Colon’s latest piece about $33 million in anti-crime funding that the Trump administration tried to claw back from the MTA. On Thursday, a judge told the president, “Not so fast.”

Plus other news. Have a great weekend. And don’t forget to join our editor on Saturday at the monthly “Power Joker” show (a fun parody of Robert Moses) at Caveat on the Lower East Side. Info here.
