Today's riddle: What do evil hens lay? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Waymo Gets Overnight Reprieve In Santa Monica Charging Fight (patch.com) — Waymo can temporarily resume 24-hour operations at its Santa Monica Broadway charging facilities after a state appeals court paused a city-won injunction limiting overnight use. The court will now review whether the restrictions were proper, while Santa Monica prepares its opposition and nearby residents continue pressing concerns over late-night noise, lights, and traffic.
• Driver Smashes Plastic Bollards on Santa Monica's 23rd Street Bike Lane (streetsblog.org) — A driver recently plowed through plastic bollards protecting the 23rd Street bike lane in Santa Monica, reigniting calls for sturdier barriers. The piece walks through the corridor's history and urges the city to upgrade from flexible posts to concrete or rigid separators to better protect local cyclists.
• Delivery Robots Are Coming to Culver City (westsidecurrent.com) — Culver City has approved a one-year pilot to let delivery robots from companies like Coco and Serve operate on local sidewalks, following earlier rollouts in Santa Monica, Los Angeles and West Hollywood. Officials will use the trial to study safety, accessibility and emissions impacts before deciding how these devices might permanently fit into neighborhood deliveries.
