1. Delivery Robots Are Coming to Culver City (westsidecurrent.com) — Delivery robots are set to begin operating on Culver City sidewalks under a newly approved one-year pilot program. City officials will finalize service agreements and regulations with companies like Coco and Serve before the low-speed devices start carrying food and groceries on short neighborhood trips. The trial will test impacts on accessibility, safety, emissions, and how robots share space with pedestrians.
   

2. Police corner catalytic converter theft suspects during freeway entry on SR-90 (westsidetoday.com) — Culver City police used a Flock license plate reader alert to stop a car entering SR-90, arrest two people on probation, and recover a freshly cut catalytic converter and theft tools. The department is urging residents to park in secure, well-lit areas, consider anti-theft shields, mark converters, and immediately report anyone seen under parked cars using cutting equipment.
