The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.

Every outlet is going to be covering the one-year anniversary of congestion pricing today (who says the papers don’t print “good news” stories anymore?!), but Streetsblog gives you three ways to celebrate:

David Meyer looks at all the positive things that have happened in town as a result of the toll.

Dave Colon picks through the lingering court paperwork challenging the tolls (don’t worry; opposition is in its death throes).

And today’s headlines leads with other outlets’ birthday parties.

Plus don’t miss our big news from the weekend: Mayor Mamdani will make McGuinness safe! And don’t miss Nolan Hicks’s report on ways to help homeless people in the subway.
