From the assignment desk: Today at 4 p.m., Oonee, the bike-parking pod people, will unveil their latest venture: a parking facility across the street from the Barclays Center.

Everyone who is anyone — including two men who aspire to be the next mayor, Corey Johnson and Eric Adams — will be on hand. Also, insider baseball alert, Council Member Laurie Cumbo is also scheduled to appear — presumably so we can question her about the weird stance she took when the DOT wanted to repurpose some parking spaces for loading zones in her neighborhood.

Until then, here’s the news:

• Guse at the Newsuh had a great get (or handout) from the DOT: The agency is finally going the Streetblog route and openly shaming men who drive big SUVS — after all, they’re causing most of the carnage so naturally they should be shunned by all right-thinking members of society. The new “Was it Worth It?” campaign beings today.
• The mayor’s new cargo bike delivery program — just a week old — is under fire again, this time from Assembly Member Yuh-Line Niou, Council Member Margaret Chin and Asian American Federation director Jo-Ann Yoo, who penned an op-ed in Crain’s calling the program “hypocritical” because it gives concessions to corporations to use electric bikes, even as e-bike-riding independent delivery workers “are still subject to such harsh enforcement practices.”
