NYC NOW - A podcast by WNYC

Another storm is expected tonight, though not as severe as New York experienced early Sunday. New York City's Transportation Department plans to soon introduce more extra-large cargo e-bikes to reduce trucks and alleviate traffic. Today, we commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 2003 blackout, a monumental power outage; Christina Farrell of the Office of Emergency Management, a key responder in 2003, speaks on New York City's readiness for future blackouts.
