Trump orders government, DoD to ‘immediately cease’ use of Anthropic’s tech amid AI fight
A city council voted to approve a new two-billion-dollar transit project aimed at reducing traffic congestion and cutting commute times by up to 25 percent over the next decade. Officials described the plan as a major step toward sustainable growth, with funding sourced from a mix of public dollars and private partnerships.
Construction is expected to begin next spring, with phased openings for multiple new lines and stations. Residents expressed cautious optimism, highlighting potential job creation but raising concerns about long-term maintenance costs and potential disruption during the build.
The project faces ongoing scrutiny from environmental groups and neighborhood associations, who are calling for stronger protections for air quality, noise limits, and affordable housing near new stations. City analysts say they will monitor progress closely and adjust timelines as needed.
