The Boulder City Council last week decided to hold a public hearing on the future of the city’s airport, setting the stage for councilmembers to publicly debate the issue and potentially reconsider a controversial decision to continue operating the airport indefinitely. During a study session last month, a majority of councilmembers informally voted to keep the airport operating indefinitely.

A group of Las Vegas advocates are tackling one of the trickiest problems in the fight for livable streets: making sure people on bikes have a good place to lock up once they’re *off *the street and done with their ride. Sin City cyclists recently announced that they’d mapped more than 2,152 bike parking locations across the Las Vegas Valley as part of a campaign helmed by the founder of BikeRackMap.com, who lives in the area. There’s no way to know exactly how much of the community’s bike parking the map represents — and that’s part of the problem. Because bike racks are often sited on privat

In Brief: Companies increasingly use individuals’ data to set individualized prices for goods and services. Maryland has prohibited this practice for food retailers and food delivery companies. Many states have been considering laws like these, some aiming for an outright ban and others simply requiring companies to disclose the practice. Proponents of these bans say they’re necessary to protect consumers from corporations who might abuse their data to unfairly raise prices. Critics, meanwhile, say the bans risk interfering with normal business practices. In April, Maryland became the first st
