The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.
We don’t know about you, but we’re still working hard to get out the news to our beloved (and generous?) readers. And though it is just one day before Christmas Eve, we are still pounding our laptops furiously at our desks.
Case in point: Today’s newsletter. Read all about:
–> Gov. Phil Murphy’s New Jersey Turnpike boondoggle.
–> A new labor advocate with a big chair in the Mamdani City Hall.

–> Today’s headlines.
–> And even a nice story about some very solid detective work by the NYPD to collar a killer hit-and-run driver.
