Tuesday’s Headlines: The Non-News Monday Edition

Not much news ... except what we published yesterday. But still, here's a roundup.

Less news than, like, ever.

This week's headlines are sponsored by City & State's upcoming transportation innovation symposium on Oct. 25. Click the icon to get more info.

There was like no news at all on the livable streets beat, except what Streetsblog published:

  • Our friend Charles Komanoff pointed out that the famous "Arab oil embargo" started 50 years ago today, so he referred us to his summer 1994 remembrance (see page 90). (The Workbook)
  • And before we get to our own gratuitous selfies, a deeply red Republican Council Member, who was just arrested on a gun charge got a visit from the mayor's closest aide. What do you make of that?
