A PSEG outage near Rockville Centre left the LIRR Babylon Branch running 15–35 minutes late Thursday morning, snarling commutes to Penn Station and Grand Central.

A signaling breakdown on the Lexington Avenue line jammed 4, 5 and 6 trains during Wednesday's evening rush, forcing major delays and cross‑honoring at Grand Central.

The city posted an Assistant Commissioner role to lead the rebuild of the BQE’s triple‑cantilever, installing a single official to steer design, review and community outreach. The hire turns years of planning into a project‑management test for City Hall.
