The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog USA.

Good morning and happy Tuesday! Today’s newsletter is a bit of a long one — Streetsblog was off yesterday for Indigenous People’s Day, and on Friday, our Engagement Editor was out of commission after getting her flu shot and Covid booster in one go. Apologies if you were missing the newsletter in your inbox on either of those days!

This week, Streetsblog USA’s Kea Wilson is at Bloomberg Cities in Mexico City, and Streetsblog NYC’s Emily Lipstein will be at Vision Zero Cities in New York City. Stay tuned for dispatches from both of these conferences.

Now, onto the news…
