Police Board budget demand goes from β€˜crippling’ to β€˜catastrophic,’ mayor says Last week, Mayor Cara Spencer had a disagreement with the rest of the Board of Police Commissioners, to the tune of as much as $72 million. But since then, the parties have only gotten further apart. ...

As a person who lives car-free, the effect this has on me is negligible.

When our cities subsidize and coerce driving, they are complicit.

On the Match 18 Board of Adjustment agenda.
As we start another war for oil, will our city continue to be complicit or turn down this dangerous polluting public health menace?

WashU faculty, students search for hidden hazard in tornado’s path Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are testing for elevated lead levels potentially kicked up in the destructive path of the 2025 tornado.

Lead remediation is among the highest returning investments we can make. Knowing the impact of the #stltornado on lead left by car pollution and paint can't be ignored.

Toronto shopping street

Half of business owners on this Toronto street estimated that more than 25% of their customers arrived by car.

In fact, it was 4%.

And the % of customers who who walked or cycled? 72%.

Retailers routinely overestimate the # of β€œcar customers.” Via @carltonreid.com www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...

I am of the mindset that we should be more hostile to local utility companies, especially since so many still aren’t following the utility coordination law passed by the city and requiring steel plates to be asphalted down on roads and sidewalks. (All photos from 2026)

1 dead, 2 seriously injured in 2-car crash in Lemay Thursday morning The crash happened near the intersection of Geneva and Kingston drives in St. Louis County at around 7:45 a.m.

Cars take so much. The state's driving first and only policies and spending needs to change.
