NYC gridlock alert days

New York City is finally officially acknowledging what many locals already knew: that the city has many more than just 10 so-called gridlock alert days. City officials increased the number of gridlock alert days to 16 for 2018, beginning on September 24. Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg said the city is adding six days related to the U.N. General Assembly when heads of state and many other dignitaries will be in town.
