The city finished a one-mile busway on Tremont Avenue for the Bx36, a route that can crawl at five miles per hour at peak and carries 39,000 riders a day.
DOT finished the project a little over a month after breaking ground, a year after the Adams administration shelved it [71]. The busway runs eastbound from Third Avenue to Southern Boulevard and westbound from Southern Boulevard to Belmont Avenue [71]. How a busway works: from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week, only buses, emergency vehicles, trucks with six or more wheels and Access-a-Ride vans get full use of the road; private drivers may enter from a side street and must turn off at the next turn, enforced by fixed and bus-mounted cameras [71].
“For 39,000 daily riders, that means less time stuck in traffic and more time getting where you need to go.”
“Bronxites depend more on buses than other New Yorkers, yet for too long have lacked the state-of-the-art in bus priority treatments,”
Siena has Hochul ahead of Blakeman 50% to 41% among likely voters; Quinnipiac, polling days later, has her ahead 58% to 39%.
Siena's result is barely changed from its August poll, while Quinnipiac's is its first of the race [8]. Siena has the suburbs nearly even and Blakeman ahead among independents [10]. Both polls found Mamdani more popular than Trump: Siena voters called the mayor's endorsement of Hochul a plus by 50% to 30%, and Trump's endorsement of Blakeman a minus by 51% to 30% [5].
“Likely voters prefer her to be in Albany handling the cost of living and the economy, their top concerns, and that is putting her at a sizable advantage over Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman.”
“The Siena poll is a biased poll. It's a fugazi poll,”
“I think there's just something about polling these days that leads one to wonder,”

GothamistIf the state drops the Regents requirement in June 2027, city students in the Class of 2028 would graduate by earning their 44 credits, with no replacement exam in place.
An Education Department official told the Council the same rule would cover current freshmen and sophomores, roughly 212,000 students in grades 9 through 11 last year [87]. New requirements, with a new diploma and different assessments, are due for the Class of 2031 [87]. Students will keep sitting the Regents for federal testing rules and can use scores for an advanced diploma designation [87]. The city has no single method for tallying those credits across schools, First Deputy Chancellor Danielle Giunta told the Council [88].
“We’re not expected next year to stand up a one-for-one replacement for the Regents exams,”
“Without a replacement of equal or more rigor, it’s going to turn into a checklist,”

Crown Heights archivist Daylon Orr was visiting a bookseller friend in Virginia when he spotted boxes marked IRT in a warehouse corner. Inside was the life's collection of Hugh A. Dunne, the Daily News's "Mr. Subways," who walked more than half the system's track: 1911 reports, internal memos, hand-typed service histories of individual cars, and letters calling Dunne a drinker and blaming him for reopening the Franklin Avenue Shuttle. Orr rented a U-Haul, told his friend to drive home alone, and hauled 30 or so boxes back to Brooklyn, where he hopes to place the collection at an institution by year's end [76].
