Last Week – Don’t forget: in just one week, L.A. Metro will open of new subway stations. In late May Streetsblog L.A.’s Great Commuter Race the D Line Dash – will pit a train rider vs. a cyclist vs. a driver. Who will win?!? Learn more about the event and sponsorship opportunities here. Next Tuesday is the deadline for event sponsors to appear on all race promotional material!

Tuesday – We’ve written a lot about the various e-bike/e-moto pieces of legislation moving in Sacramento. Here’s the short-video version.

Thursday – Honestly, you would think that the California DMV clearing the way for autonomous big rigs would have been bigger news. As you might expect, labor leaders have a lot to say about this development.

Here Come the self-driving big rigs. California just approved self-driving freight trucks—and the backlash is already here. Teamsters California is calling the move “reckless” and says it’ll fight it in court. Is this the future of shipping—or a risk to jobs and safety? #California #SelfDriving #autonomoustrucks #Teamsters #Freight #AVs

Thursday – Streetsblog Los Angeles visits the ribbon cutting for excellent new transit-oriented mixed-use affordable housing nearly on top of the Metro Vermont/Santa Monica Blvd. subway station. See SBLA’s post for more coverage of the Santa Monica & Vermont Apartments – including lots of project photos.
