Iris and Chuck, Sitting in a Tree

Aaron Naparstek has another great round-up of local news including the recent Westside bike lane breakthrough on 8th Ave.

But the most fascinating piece to me was that the NYC Commissioner of Transportation, Iris Weinshall, is married to Chuck Schumer. Chuck complains about high gas prices and his wife has systematically resisted almost all efforts to contain NYC's automobile traffic congestion and favor biking and pedestrian options.

Earth to Chuck, Earth to Chuck: Call your wife and ask her what she's doing to lower demand for gas...

Ha, ha, ha... funny...
