Brooklyn Today

The Lede

THE LEDE: Happy Wednesday! A car crashes into scaffolding in Brooklyn Heights, Andrew Cuomo’s executive budget includes money for speed cameras, and a holly-covered wall grows in Cobble Hill. Plus, a hotel is coming to Brooklyn Heights, borough presidents praise a judge’s decision, and a Manhattan shoemaker moves to Industry City. Finally, Canarsie residents demand a ferry stop, a man steals an elderly neighbor’s home in East New York, and a landlord is hard to find in Greenpoint.
