Like us, it looks like all the other news outlets took off for Indigenous Peoples Day, as there was very little reporting going on in town. Here’s what we got:

• We were excited to see Council Member Selvena Brooks-Powers at Sunday’s rally in support of the QueensLink transit line, which seems to be taking a back seat to the QueensWay linear park. Are hearings by Brooks-Powers’s Transportation Committee next? We hope. After all, bully pulpits only work if you use them. (amNY)
• This won’t surprise anyone who has ever dealt with the NYPD press office, but NYPD crime data and crime reporting isn’t up to federal standards. (NY Post, Gothamist)
• Our friend Larry Penner is pushing the MTA to include the extension of the Utica Avenue line on its wish list. (Mass Transit)
• Crain’s finally posted its piece about Comptroller Tom DiNapoli’s recent MTA report.
• Finally, New Yorkers have a new boogeyman to get upset about: pickleball. (Gothamist)
• Delivery workers for Gorillas have sued the company for alleged wage theft. (Brooklyn Paper)
• For all of us who were surprised when Assembly Member Diana Richardson quit to become a ceremonial deputy borough president, here’s the other shoe dropping. (NYDN)
