The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.

We hate love to say we told you so, but when the Adams administration un-protected three blocks of the Bedford Avenue bike lane, we knew the painted lane would again become filled with parked cars and cyclists would be forced into car traffic.

As a result, the city is now spending valuable police resources trying to rein in drivers, as Summer Specialist Yoshi Omi-Jarrett shows in the latest installment in his soon-to-be-award-nominated coverage.

Plus so much more news (we have more hits than the Mets!). Also, why not send us an old school snail mail letter? Our address is at the bottom.
