Thanks for sticking with me through the lack of content this week. I had a busy few days — including a tough loss at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night. Next week, we discuss Ydanis Rodriguez’s support for a traffic pricing plan, the mayor’s supposed offer of $2 billion for the MTA’s capital plan and Gov. Cuomo’s recalcitrance with regards to MTA financing, and, perhaps, some thoughts on subway station mezzanines. If you want more transit-related ramblings during the week, be sure to check out my Twitter account. I keep up the commentary even when posts here are sporadic.
