Long Island Rail Road workers won’t strike this week after unions asked President Trump to step in and help broker a contract deal. Meanwhile, New Yorkers are planting daffodils and wildflowers across the city as part of a living 9/11 memorial. In sports, the Liberty beat Phoenix in overtime to open the WNBA playoffs, and the Rangers are remembering Hall of Fame goalie Eddie Giacomin, who died at 86. Plus, WNYC’s Stephen Nessen reports on Brooklyn’s “bike bus” helping kids ride safely to school.
