The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.

Journey with us up the Hudson River to the State Capitol, where Albany Bureau Chief Austin C. Jefferson discovered that Mayor-elect Mamdani’s bid for free buses isn’t going to be easy.

Also in today’s newsletter, we have our daily headlines (plus a humble plea for donations), as well as some good news out of incoming First Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan.

Stay warm. And if you do order food or other items for delivery, please consider the hard, cold work of that delivery worker and tip properly. It’ll be in the 20s most of the day.
