    • Pensacola, Fla., is the self-admitted poster child for killing a downtown with too much parking. The city has brought in Donald Shoup, who literally wrote the book on parking, to get rid of off-street parking requirements and charge for on-street parking — and spend that revenue on public services. (News Journal)
    • Cincinnati, Seattle, Buffalo and Cleveland are among other cities saying "no" to parking minimums. (Next City)

    • D.C. residents love Capital BikeShare's new e-bikes — at least, the users on Twitter do. (Mobility Lab)
    • Augusta, Ga. is spending some of a transportation-sales-tax windfall on bike and pedestrian projects in the urban core, but mostly it's roads. (Chronicle)
    • Cranky bike-hating newspaper publisher Keith Crain is yelling at clouds again. Will someone get off his lawn already! (Deadline Detroit)
