The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog USA.

If you’ve been a longtime Streetsblog reader, you may or may not have noticed that Kea Wilson logged about 5-7 bylines every week since she first started here in January 2020. And you also may or may not have noticed that in June, her name pretty abruptly stopped showing up here. That’s because she took a leave of absence following the death of her father.  

Kea writes:

“Over the course of my career, I’ve written countless articles about disability and mobility, as well as the “silver tsunami” of Baby Boomers who are poised to lose their ability to drive in communities where driving is not optional. I have memorized statistics about the third of U.S. households who can’t or don’t use cars, and the rising share of older Americans with mobility challenges who rank among their number. 

None of that prepared me for what happened to my dad.”
