NASCAR has decided not to hold the Chicago Street Race in 2026 to allow more time for rescheduling, improving logistics, and addressing city concerns, with plans to potentially return in 2027 on a different date and with enhanced features.
A San Francisco business owner has started a hunger strike to protest the negative impact of a new protected bike lane on Valencia Street, claiming that it has led to a loss of business due to reduced parking. The bike lane is part of a pilot project to protect cyclists, but the owner argues that it has caused closures of several businesses in the area. While some bicyclists support the lanes, the business owner is calling for the city to remove the bike lane and work on a better solution. The city's transportation agency has stated that it is collaborating with businesses to find solutions that benefit both businesses and bicyclists.
