The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog USA.

Like the interstate system before it, a network of massive, hyper-scale AI data centers is cropping up across America. And much like highways, they’re spewing air, water, and noise pollution across our communities, unleashing more surveillance tech and police on our sidewalks, and erasing the climate gains of every bike or a bus trip we take — all for the supposed “benefit” of communities that many advocates doubt. 

The Brake is back from hiatus, and in this new episode Kea Wilson chats with veteran transit advocate Saul Levin about how much these two kinds of fossil fuel infrastructure have in common — and how the same playbook can help defeat them both.

Check it out at the link below, and be sure to read the rest of today’s stories from the livable streets movement across the U.S.
