The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.
We’ve taken to calling high-profile legislative hearings “super bowls” because of the amount of media attention they draw, and today is a big one: Super Bowl Wednesday, when the City Council under Speaker Julie Menin and Majority Leader and Transportation Committee Chair Shaun Abreu will consider a laundry list of bills to regulate e-bike riding in the city.
Testifying for the Mamdani administration will be Department of Transportation Commissioner Mike Flynn and Department of Consumer and Worker Protection Commissioner Sam Levine. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch will be absent, however — continuing her pattern of deferring crucial “Vision Zero” responsibilities and public appearances to subordinates.
Get the full preview in Wednesday’s Headlines below, along with some good news about bus speeds — and bad news about the online retail boom’s impact on city streets.
