Editor’s note: Gov. Kathy Hochul announced just after 8:45 p.m. on Monday night that the MTA had reached a deal with the coalition of unions representing Long Island Rail Road workers, bringing their three-day strike to an end. Hochul said the LIRR will return to phased-in service at noon Tuesday. Check back with amNY.com later for a full update.
