The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.

It’s Christmas Eve Day — so we’re still cranking out important stories and rolling out all our end-of-year Streetsies Awards. All our coverage is archived here, but today’s entries are our two favorites: The best projects and worst failures of city government.
