Streetsblog Index

1:45 PM EST on November 8, 2007

    • The price of a gallon of gasoline hits $5 in some parts of California. 
    • The price of a barrel of oil is about $3 shy of an all-time, inflation-adjusted high of $101.70. 
    • The traffic plan Richard Brodsky calls "workable, bold" requires $18 billion and wouldn't produce results for at least a decade.

Feel free to pile on. What else would you add to a Streetsblog Index?
