The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.

The last time you probably thought about former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey was when he was resigning his office and revealing that he was “a gay American.” Well, no pol can stay in the cold for two decades, so McGreevey is back, seeking the mayoralty of Jersey City.

Enjoy the weekend everybody! And remember: There are just three games left in the baseball season and anything can happen. And in the worst-case scenario, never forget: pitchers and catchers report in just over five months.
