Good Wednesday morning in New York City, where they're about to finally separate pedestrians and cyclists on the Queensboro Bridge.
Here's what else is happening:
- Mayor Adams is a man of many phones.
- Here's who's running for Manhattan and Brooklyn district attorney this year.
- An alleged 24-hour brothel that operated behind a Queens bodega was padlocked by the property owner yesterday.
- The Angelika Film Center lobby is temporarily a furniture showroom.
- The Upper West Side got some colorful worm-looking sculptures.
- The forecast looks good for the Queens County Farm’s 14th annual sheep shearing contest on Sunday.
- A Mexican tall ship has docked downtown.
- Question of the day: How long do jorts have to be before they're just jeans?
