Morning Headlines: UN General Assembly Gridlock Expected, LIRR Strike Averted for Now, and Mosquito Spraying in Brooklyn and Queens
About this episode
New York City is bracing for the worst traffic of the year next week when world leaders arrive for the UN General Assembly. Meanwhile, the Long Island Rail Road has avoided a strike for now after five unions voted to authorize one but requested federal intervention, delaying any walkout until at least May 2026. Plus, city health officials say they’ll spray pesticides Tuesday night in Brooklyn and Queens neighborhoods to curb mosquitoes and the risk of West Nile virus.
