Tuesday – We’ve written a lot about the various e-bike/e-moto pieces of legislation moving in Sacramento. Here’s the short-video version.
Thursday – Honestly, you would think that the California DMV clearing the way for autonomous big rigs would have been bigger news. As you might expect, labor leaders have a lot to say about this development.
Thursday – Streetsblog Los Angeles visits the ribbon cutting for excellent new transit-oriented mixed-use affordable housing nearly on top of the Metro Vermont/Santa Monica Blvd. subway station.
