The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.

BREAKING NEWS: Zohran Mamdani will become mayor in an abandoned subway station, a fitting symbol of a man looking to the future, while honoring the past. Dave Colon has the world exclusive.

We also continue our year-end “Streetsie Awards” with a Gersh Kuntzman roundup of the forgotten moments of the year.

One thing that’s not forgotten? How bad a mayor Eric Adams was for bus riders — but we have Dave Colon to remind us all anew.

We’ll have more news tomorrow as we wind down 2025.
