News Roundup: STAB

• Speed cameras make streets safer.
• Uber now campaigning for congestion pricing ($).
• Worthwhile Canadian initiative: optimizing transit for happiness.
• This minimum density bill in Olympia would be a big deal.
• ECB talks ADU rules, council candidates, and improving pedestrian lives.
• I was lukewarm on the I-5 lid movement, but they're putting buildings there I'm all in.
• Tacoma Community College P&R just reopened.
• Happy 15th, Snoqualmie Valley Transportation!
• Inside a 4,400hp locomotive.
