In this week's On The Way, WNYC's transit team talks about how Mayor Eric Adams’ vision to eliminate the notorious piles of trash on New York City’s sidewalks may not be fully realized for another seven years, according to documents published by the sanitation department. Why? Due to parking spots.

The sanitation department aims to require every building with 30 or more units to dump their garbage into those bins rather than stack trash bags on the curb.

The crew also discusses updates on the LIRR strike that wasn't and a century-old double-decker bus named "Betsy" that was recently on display by the New York Transit Museum.
