Through September the city recorded 489 shootings and 203 murders, the fewest for the first nine months of any year on record, while confirmed hate crimes rose 12.9%.
Mayor Mamdani and Commissioner Jessica Tisch released the nine-month numbers Tuesday: major crime fell in every borough, with the Bronx down most [46]. Two categories went the other way: felony assaults rose 0.2% and reported rapes 3.7%, an increase police partly attribute to older crimes reported recently [46]. More than half of confirmed hate crimes targeted Jewish New Yorkers [46]. Subway crime was essentially flat, up 0.9% [46].
“The NYPD delivered the fewest shooting incidents, shooting victims, and murders for the first nine months of any year in recorded history,”
“As long as there is a single shooting, a single shooting victim in this city, that is one too many,”
Four errors, three unearned runs and a 5-2 loss in Tampa left the Yankees down 0-2 to the Rays, with Game 3 at Yankee Stadium tonight.
The Yankees made three errors in the first inning alone, and two more misplays in the fifth turned a 1-1 game into a four-run Rays inning [194]. The capper was a two-run single by Richie Palacios, who grew up a Yankees fan in Brooklyn and went to Berkeley Carroll [193]. Ben Rice homered twice for the only Yankee runs [200]. The forecast for Game 3 calls for highs near 70 after a cold night [104].
“We've got to get over it. We've responded all year to difficult times, and we've got to do that again.”
“But it's very special to do this in a postseason against a team I grew up watching.”
Pinstripe AlleyDOT started painting bus lanes on Bay Parkway from Avenue J to Shore Parkway and on Cropsey Avenue to 26th Avenue, routes that carry 85,000 riders a day.
The redesign serves the B6 and B82 through Midwood, Borough Park, Bensonhurst and Bath Beach, where buses on Bay Parkway crawl as slowly as 3 mph, about walking speed [78]. DOT is using offset lanes, set off the curb so parking survives, and curbside lanes where blocks need room for left-turn bays [78]. It also re-times meters and adds loading zones to make up for lost curb space [78].
“This redesign will increase bus speeds and reliability on two of Brooklyn's busiest bus routes while better organizing traffic on two of the highest-crash corridors in the borough,”

Bryan Reisberg started carrying his dog Maxine around the subway in a backpack, and when he couldn't find a bag he trusted, he quit his job and designed one; it sold out in four minutes [155]. When Maxine was put on crate rest last year, a friend suggested he take shelter dogs out instead. He has now given more than 55 adoptable dogs a ride through the city on his back, and the videos have passed half a billion views [155].
