City Council Speaker Julie Menin is making good on her pledge to reinvigorate outdoor dining in the Big Apple. On Wednesday, she announced plans advance legislation to allow restaurants and bars to set up curbside year-round - reversing the winter ban enacted under her car-first predecessor Adrienne Adams. Adams, meanwhile, is Gov. Hochul's new pick to be the state's lieutenant governor, a position currently held by Antonio Delgado, who's gone rogue and is running against Hochul in June's Democratic primary.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Opened alongside the Goethals Bridge on June 29, 1928, the Outerbridge Crossing was built to accommodate an anticipated influx in motor vehicle traffic following World War I. Originally named the Arthur Kill Bridge, the span was later renamed in honor of Eugenius H. Outerbridge, founding member and first chairman of the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey. The bridge, spanning from Charleston to Perth Amboy, N.J., is the outermost crossing under the jurisdiction of the Port Authority.

A vehicle fire inside the Lincoln Tunnel caused all lanes to close, leading to significant delays for commuters during the evening rush hour.

The crash, which occurred on the terminal's fourth level, temporarily shut down one of the busiest transit hubs in the country, causing significant disturbances.

The collision involved two coach buses near West 41st Street around 6:05 a.m., causing significant delays and service interruptions for NJ Transit commuters.

More than a dozen passengers were injured when several buses collided at the Port Authority Bus Terminal, causing chaos during the early morning commute.

Delays on the Goethals Bridge were reported during the Wednesday morning rush hour, affecting traffic flow as it backed up significantly from Willowbrook Road to Western Avenue.

"The two cops were able to move fast into the system, which was vital... One officer went toward one direction, one toward the other direction."

As of now, the debris has been cleared from the Outerbridge Crossing and traffic has returned to normal flow, which is great news for commuters in the area.
