The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.

Today’s headlines post is our biggest story of the day: The mayor’s chief adviser, and bike-lane assassin, Ingrid Lewis-Martin has resigned under a cloud. But that’s not all: We also have a mini-scandal inside Gov. Hochul’s office, plus Charles Komanoff’s tribute to Paul Krugman.

And if you missed Friday’s news (below), Citi Bike is expanding (a bit).

It’s all here. So now that we think of it, why not help us with a small gift during our December Donation Drive? Thanks!
