		<title>East 91st Street Marine Transfer Station</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday, Mayor Bloomberg made the extremely premature move of requesting bids for the construction of the East 91st Street Marine Transfer Station (MTS).

		<title>Kellner to Cuomo: Veto ‘Livery Street Hail Bill’</title>

		<title>Justice Dept. to TLC: Make Taxis Accessible</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am thrilled that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has heeded my call that every taxi needs to be wheelchair accessible. As a person with a disability, I find it unfortunate that in the most progressive city in the world, the civil rights of people with disabilities are not being enforced.

Additionally, two U.S. companies are currently building purpose-built wheelchair accessible [...]]]></description>
