NEW THIS MORNING

Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. Proposed a bill to allow motorcyclists to park for free across the city since it is hard to affix a muni meter receipt to a motorcycle, the Daily News writes: http://nydn.us/Q4uPfx
 
The Times welcomes a City Council bill to create an inspector general to strengthen police department oversight, saying it rejects the argument that the NYPD is doing just fine since crime is low: http://nyti.ms/PrsrES

* The News slams the United Federation of Teachers for its "lack of leadership" managing a union-run charter school in Brooklyn that is struggling and says students deserve an apology: http://nydn.us/QgXzDY

NEW THIS MORNING

A new test for admission into the city's gifted and talented program will count for two-thirds of a student's score, putting more emphasis on spatial thinking and less on language, the Wall Street Journal reports: http://on.wsj.com/PiYBCq

 Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants the City Council to adopt a plan to overhaul zoning rules and allow skyscrapers in a 70-block area around Grand Central Terminal called Midtown East, the Times writes: http://nyti.ms/VzPmzm

 The Times urges New York City to settle claims against individuals arrested by police for trespassing in public housing and ensure that the NYPD's policies follow the Fourth Amendment: http://nyti.ms/Ohw7rk
