BOULDER, Colo. Most weather apps can tell you the wind speed for your town. But what if the forecast could tell you exactly what the wind is doing in your neighborhood or even on your street? Scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) are developing a next-generation weather prediction system that aims to do exactly that. Using fleets of weather-sensing drones, supercomputers, and a powerful modeling tool called FastEddy, researchers are working on modeling winds at an accuracy of about two meters roughly the size of a queen bed.

New York Cyclists Struggle As Illegal Vehicles Flood City Streets

KEYWORD SCORE: 30.52. bike, bike path, enforcement, infrastructure, mayor, scooter, traffic, transportation
Dmytro Stechenko was not just a stand-up guy, but had a personal morality that he simply did not violate. He didn’t litter. He didn’t jaywalk. He wouldn’t so much as sit in an accessible seat on a subway, even if no one was around. So it’s the cruelest irony that the Ukraine-born cyclist was killed on the Queensboro Bridge on May 28 in a collision with the rider of an illegal scooter who reportedly made a risky passing maneuver, the victim’s best friend told Streetsblog.

A county treasurer in rural Texas used to dread the extremely time-consuming manual process of calculating liability for equipment leases under a Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) requirement. After software enhanced by artificial intelligence was adopted last year, the time it took her to do the calculation was cut by two hours — for each lease. Multiply that across dozens of leases and it amounts to real time recovered and real compliance value delivered. Now consider a different scene. A midsize city uses an AI-assisted forecasting tool to project sales tax revenue. The model p

Near the end of her career, Lilly Ledbetter received an anonymous note: she was being paid far less than every man doing the same job. Ledbetter was one of the first female supervisors at an Alabama Goodyear tire plant, working the 12-hour 7pm to 7am overnight shift for nearly 20 years. A jury later determined that she had been subjected to sex-based discrimination and awarded Ledbetter more than $3 million for violations of the Civil Rights Act, but an appellate court overturned that ruling after finding her claims to have been brought too late. In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court affirmed,

We’re well into the 21st century, but pedestrians in the United States are being killed like it’s still 1982. According to a new analysis of nationwide traffic deaths, 7,080 pedestrians died on American roads in 2024. That number is 6 percent lower than 2022’s figure, but still a 72-percent increase since 2009, and almost the exact same number of pedestrian deaths as 42 years ago. This staggering figure, which heralds our country’s years-long devolution in road safety, is part of the annual Dangerous by Design report released last week by the advocates at Smart Growth America and the National

Public transit advocates installed homemade benches at bus stops across the United States. Now, they’re calling for you to do the same. Community-built bench projects are nothing new; neighbors in Chattanooga, Kansas City, Portland and beyond have led independent initiatives since at least 2016. In the past two years, campaigns have gotten larger — and inspired do-gooding copycats. Advocates from Reconnect Rochester installed their first “bus stop cubes” more than a decade ago. The upstate New York group’s toolkit expanded quickly, now including benches adapted from streetside concrete tree ba
