The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.

Hope you all made it out of yesterday’s deluge unscathed (and not too soggy).

Today’s newsletter brings you Kevin Duggan’s dispatch from yesterday’s e-bike 15 mph speed limit hearing. Turns out, both e-bike friends AND foes think it’s a load of crock. We also have Sophia Lebowitz’s coverage of a commitment by over 200 cyclists that they’ll sue the city if Mayor Adams’s removal of three blocks of the Bedford Ave. protected bike lane leads to their injury.

Check out all that (and more) below:
