A city council approved plan to close 200 street blocks in the center of Geneva, Switzerland to automobile traffic gives new meaning to the term liveable streets.
Second, two new bikestations are set to open in the greater Los Angeles metro, and yes one of those is at our very own Claremont Depot, where it will provide secure bike parking for Metrolink commuters. Grand opening festivities are scheduled for February 24.
Third, do I feel safer on the streets when the callous crime of a hit and run is treated as a misdemeanor simply due to the fact that, luckily, no severe injuries resulted?
