What a downgrade for Beija-Flor, the excellent Brazilian restaurant in Dutch Kills. Their pretty outdoor dining structure is now gone, just so two people can park their cars in front. No more live music outside, I guess, either.
Conservative NIMBYs just hate this city.

New Yorkers are now far more likely to be killed in a car crash than a shooting.
City data shows 127 people were killed in traffic crashes during the first six months of the year, compared to 82 who were fatally shot.

July 4th is a busy travel weekend and with traffic moving at the slowest rates recorded in decades - if you are taking a trip - avoid leaving on Wednesday at 2 p.m., when traffic is expected to peak.

Just like with Christie and the Gateway cancellation, this will cost everyone (yes, "working class drivers" too) SO MUCH more in the long run then if they just let it happen

It's actually insane on many levels that the Governor has left the MTA without a source of funding for rolling stock contracts in progress. This will spike costs, particularly for the R211 contracts and subsequent replacements. I can't stress enough how bad her leadership is.

MTA saying that a Verrazzano Bridge "cable dehumidification project" which helps maintain the bridge cables will be postponed. Shoutout to all the Staten Island elected officials opposing congestion pricing!

At maybe the biggest MTA board meeting in recent memory, while officials are talking about how the congestion pricing pause will hurt the agency, the camera suddenly pans to boardmember and congestion pricing foe David Mack, who appears to be...sleeping?

Congrats to all the Panthers fans who paid for their season ticket packages for next season by selling their Game 7 tickets to Oilers fans.

10 years after Jackie Robinson had already retired and black ballplayers were still being threatened just for existing.
Also: still within the living memory of a lot of our parents and grandparents. Not so long ago.

Reggie Jackson played in Birmingham when he was in the minor leagues back in 1967. In his return to Rickwood Field, he shared his experience with racism and discrimination. "Coming back here is not easy." 🎥 @MLBONFOX

Doesn't seem possible, but the spike actually happened *after* 2020, when the sound of choppers was basically inescapable for a whole summer
