Streetsblog USA is crowdsourcing feedback for its annual Streetsies awards for the nest and worst in transportation news.
Angie Schmitt explains the premise of the Streetsies: "that time of year when where we look back at the year and remember the stories that really had an impact on urban transportation progress."
Schmitt also assessed 2018 with the following: it could have been worse.
With that in mind, readers are asked to vote on matters like "Happiest Development" (i.e., progress for parking reform and congestion pricing), "Worst Villain" (Elon Musk makes a repeat appearance), "Best New Transportation Plan" (Minneapolis, Portland, and Detroit are the nominees), and more.
