\u2022\u00a0UPDATE: For more on New York City’s bike lane woes, check out: How one New York bike lane could affect the future of cycling worldwide (The Guardian<\/a>), Battle of the Bike Lanes (The New Yorker<\/a>), John Cassidy vs bipeds (Reuters<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u2022 Michigan Governor Rick Snyder’s Local School District and Fiscal Accountability Act allows state-appointed emergency managers to seize control of local governments in financial emergencies to renegotiate contacts, terminate collective bargaining agreements, close schools and dissolve or reorganize governments and districts. As Slate<\/a> discovers this power is not unprecedented.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Twenty-first century airports have a life of their own. As John Kasarda and Greg Lindsey explain in Aerotropolis<\/em>, if\u00a0Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport were to become its own country, its annual workforce and user base would make it the twelfth most populous nation on Earth. BLDGBLOG <\/a>has an interview with the authors.<\/p>\n

\u2022 MIT’s CoLab Radio<\/a> has an interesting post on the economic benefits of bicycle parking as compared with car parking. The Australian study found that while drivers tend to spend more than their two-wheeled counterparts, the small space requirements for bike parking generate more efficient economic returns.<\/p>\n
