    • The more people ride the bus, the safer streets are. (City Lab)
    • For PARK(ing) Day, the lot at Lenox Square Mall in Atlanta is being transformed into 40 mini-parks, with solar generators powering food trucks and a movie projector. Now, if that wasn't only one day a year... (AJC)
    • Miami is doing the right thing for the wrong reason: The city is raising parking rates, but just because it needs money, not to discourage driving. Hopefully some drivers will start using transit anyway. (Herald)
    • Illinois NIMBYs are blocking a plan to increase Amtrak service between Milwaukee and Chicago because the added capacity might require a new freight siding. (Urban Milwaukee)
    • Just say no: The Arizona DOT is seeking input on the Sonoran Corridor, a proposed highway connecting I-10 and I-19 in Tucson. (Arizona Public Media)
    • Uber has a new logo (Engadget). But it has the same safety problems: A woman recently jumped from a moving car in Las Vegas to escape the fake Uber driver who kidnapped her. (KNTV)
    • Cincinnati is testing its first-ever bus-only lane, on part of Main Street downtown. (Enquirer)
    • Annapolis city council members say Mayor Gavin Buckley moved too quickly and didn’t consult the right people when he created a temporary bike lane downtown. (Capital Gazette)
