The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.

We had some fun in today’s early-morning email blast — with our two April Fool’s stories — but the time has come to put aside foolish things and get to the real serious news of the day.

From Greenpoint, we learn that residents want the city’s protected bike lane plan to be bolder.

And from Albany, we learn that crash victims and their advocates want Gov. Hochul to abandon her quest to lower auto insurance premiums by making it harder for some victims to get proper compensation.

Also, check out today’s headlines and the pre-April Fool’s Day joke we played on the Times.
