For those of us who DO ride in these bike lanes, this is fantastic news. As far as businesses struggling, the majority along this stretch are doing just fine and some (those that are geared towards the cycling community) are actually doing better.

That’s the consensus of experts in national security law, who weren’t surprised that the FBI isn’t recommending an indictment for Hillary Clinton and her staff related to her use of a private email server, saying such a move would have set a bold new standard for such cases.

"Legal experts say Clinton’s actions may have violated common sense but they didn’t clearly merit an indictment."
