The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.

The last real workday before the New Year is always a weird one. But we’ll be working today, the better to help make sense of the week when politicians (and Citi Bike!) always try to slip stuff past us.

We’d also like to remind you of the waning moments of our annual December Donation Drive (hint!).

And rest in peace, Jimmy Carter:
