The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.
Council members were downright pissed off at the Department of Transportation at a rally yesterday in support of an effort to ban parking at intersections, a common-sense measure also known as daylighting.

In other news, we have a great national story from Kea Wilson about how the GOP-led federal government is going to push more highways and fewer bike lanes in the next surface transportation bill.
Troopers based in NYC routinely blew off their duties to chill, sleep with their girlfriends and, in one notorious case, drive to a strip club in New Jersey, get drunk and get arrested for assault, Streetsblog has learned.
