I'm Still Here...
Things have been stressful. But that's life. When you're stressed you have to think about happy things. Like the color red. Or west coast weather. Or scooter sharing. Scoot is bringing all of these things to San Fran! They're not ready to expand to Providence yet (my coworker emailed to check- she got a response directly from the CEO! Nice.)
NYC launches Citibike Bike Share Program
In case you haven't seen it everywhere in the last few days, NYC launched its new bikeshare program today. It has generated quite some buzz and one article asserted that one bike had already been stolen (am I the only one who is pleased by this low number?)

You can find the RBA for Urban Excellence winners here. The Gold Medal went to Inspiration Kitchens in Chicago and the Steel Yard in Providence got a silver! Cool!

I thought this was very cool and wanted to share. Chicago, I want to come back! Preferably in fall (no dangerous falling icicles or hot hot hot hot hot heat)
10 Transportation "Graveyards"
I thought this was awesome! How can cities reuse of capitalize on these sorts of graveyards? See more from mentalfloss.
Amazon Proposes Bio-Dome for New Seattle Offices
Pretty much as the title states, but not much more information in this article from Huh Magazine. I have to wonder if the wet environment of Seattle + a bio-dome environment might not be the best environment for equipment required to run a major web company? This may be my ignorance speaking, but what kind of systems would one need (and would they be sustainable) to keep computers dry? Will offices be walled off and climate controlled? Is that efficient? I love bio-domes, but I'm interested to see how this would play out. What do you think?

Can You Guess Who Digs Electric Cars?
The answer is: old, rich, educated men! Are you surprised? I have to admit, I was at first but then I gave thought to the folks I have had conversations with about electric vehicles in the past few months and I do see something of a pattern. Read the article from GOOD here.

"The Urban Transect"
Have you heard of Urban Earth? Their most recent project is called "the Urban Transect"- a project in which an individual or group takes one photo every 8 steps while winding through a city. This video represents Mexico City. It's 10 minutes but a pretty fun ride- check it out! You can read an article on the project from Sustainable Cities Collective here.

Check out this story from Next City. A resident of Queens, York- Urban Planner- Surfer is developing creative plans to reassess, redesign, rebuild, and recoup one of Hurricane Sandy's hardest-hit areas. Spoiler alert: he's in favor of smaller roads and bigger sand dunes. What do you think?
