Monday's Headlines: Rainy Holiday Edition - Streetsblog New York City
"NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch's fact-free crackdown on e-bikes continues - and the agency has finally released some of the numbers to amNY (believe me, we've been asking).

There are two more Upper West Side bus routes with automated enforcement cameras - so stop blocking the bus! (West Side Rag)"
