Streetsblog LA
Online/Digital
Streetsblog is a daily urban planning news source connecting people to information about sustainable transportation, housing affordability, the legacy of redlining, policing, and what it takes to ensure our cities are more accessible, more equitable, and more welcoming for all.
Streetsblog first began covering the movement to transform cities - via the reduction of dependence on private automobiles and improving conditions for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders - in New York in 2006. Reporters broke important stories about transit funding, pedestrian safety, and bicycle policy and made arcane topics like parking prices and induced traffic accessible to a broad audience. Source
