Morning Links: Election Edition

Links from around New York:

It's election day. Don't forget to take the time and vote.

Forget Gracie Mansion. Apparently you can buy a castle in the Bronx. (Curbed NY)

Renderings are in for the permanent pedestrian plaza at Fowler Square in Fort Greene. (Brownstoner)

Who doesn't love a good local food smackdown? Head down to the Brooklyn Winery in Williamsburg on November 11th to see local CSAs go head to head with a spot in the citywide final on the line. (Brooklyn Based)

Atlantic Yards is getting some Chinese can-do attitude. Greenland, which is buying 70% of the project from Forest City Ratner, has promised to complete the entire project within eight years. (Curbed NY)

And in not-so-New-York news:

DC's S-line buses are responsible for half of the people moved along 16th Street during peak period, yet they account for only 3% of vehicles on the road while most of the space is devoted to cars. Will these facts convince the city to implement dedicated lanes for bus movement? (Greater Greater Washington)

Delaware cyclists can feel a little safer - the state's DOT has agreed to drop its ambiguous "Share the Road" signs in favor of road signs that clearly indicate the rights of bicycles. (Streetsblog)

A former student's masters thesis on light rail expansion in Pittsburgh goes viral on tumblr. (Tumblr, Pittsburgh City Paper)
