📰 News we're reading
• Motorcyclist dies in American Canyon collision with pickup (napavalleyregister.com) — A 20-year-old Vallejo motorcyclist died after a Sunday afternoon collision with a pickup on southbound Highway 29 at Kimberly Drive in American Canyon, blocking the intersection for hours. Police say early findings suggest the pickup changed lanes from a left-turn pocket, and that neither speed nor alcohol appear to be factors as the investigation continues. 
• Could Waymo Be Coming To RivCo? A Key Step Just Happened (patch.com) — American Canyon is now officially within Waymo’s newly approved Napa County service territory, meaning driverless rides could eventually reach local streets. State regulators have cleared both the vehicles and passenger service, though Waymo hasn’t set a launch date and can roll out operations gradually across the many California counties it’s now authorized to serve.
• Napa's Clover Flat Landfill closure timeline slows (napavalleyregister.com) — Clover Flat Landfill’s planned closure near Calistoga is moving slower than promised, but American Canyon and Napa residents aren’t sending trash there. Environmental concerns, past violations, and pressure from critics are driving calls to speed up closure, while regulators and the new owner work through technical and approval delays that could stretch the timeline further.
