Streetsblog is holding our annual editors’ meeting in NYC today and will be on a slightly irregular publishing schedule. We will be bringing you more highlights from NACTO’s “Designing Cities” conference, including today’s roundtable with transportation chiefs from six major American cities, so stay tuned.

We hope to see you at the Streetsblog and Streetfilms annual benefit, starting at 7:00 tonight at WNYC’s The Greene Space. Tickets are available online or at the door.
