The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.

There’s so much news in today’s newsletter, but the lead stories are out of Albany, where Austin C. Jefferson did a deep dive on Gov. Hochul’s victory over the legislature on her attempt to make driving cheaper.

And Editor Gersh Kuntzman tossed in an analysis of the “Stop Super Speeders” proposal — and how it could easily fail if the details aren’t nailed down.

We also have coverage of the Dean and Bergen bike boulevards and, of course, today’s headlines.

Check back for a breaking story at 8 am, too, but shhhh! we can’t tell you about it yet.
