"We thank the public for notifying the T about the station issue at Park Street earlier this week," the MBTA said.

BRAVE, the radically human supply-side platform (SSP), today (23rd October, 2025) announced the expansion of its global infrastructure with new server deployments in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. The move is part of BRAVE's ongoing investment in building a faster, more resilient, and localised programmatic foundation for its growing network of publishers and demand partners. In collaboration with global infrastructure-as-a-service company servers.com, BRAVE is nowexpanding its data centres in Singapore

Self-driving cars aren't science fiction anymore. From self-driving technology in the latest electric vehicles to fleets of taxis you can order from your phone, the autonomous vehicle revolution is just getting started. But how will the public react as self-driving cars become more of an everyday part of our bustling cities? Automakers and city leaders across the country are balancing how to encourage adoption without compromising safety as they prepare communities for the ripple effects of autonomy - from infrastructure to human behavior.

The White House's decision, announced during the government shutdown, seems designed to put pressure on Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic leaders in the Senate and House respectively, who both happen to represent New York State. But the specific way in which Donald Trump has decided to block the projects-by imposing an onerous regulatory-review process-is a troubling omen of how he might broadly undermine development across the country.

Shortly after the first government shutdown since 2019 began earlier this month, Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought announced that he was freezing $8 billion in infrastructure projects exclusively in states that voted for Kamala Harris. The projects that Vought consigned to funding purgatory included a multibillion-dollar renovation and expansion of the Hudson Tunnel from New Jersey to New York City and an extension of the Chicago Transit Authority's Red Line.

There's been a lot going on and we almost forget that the federal government is approaching its third week of shutdown. The administration has used the time to cancel and pause billions in grants in the places you might guess. Tony Romm and Lazaro Gamio for the New York Times have the analysis.

I'm going tell you about an audacious idea that sounds almost impossible, one that is rooted in dreams about symbolic and literal unity of our nation. It is both a distraction from and answer to our country's problems in 2025, and it relies on an unshakeable faith in humanity and community. It reaches into the future while looking into the past, and stepping foot on it can change a person's life.

The BCC's budget submission focuses on policies to encourage investment, strengthen the workforce, support exports and develop infrastructure. The BCCs top four recommendations are for the Chancellor not to make more taxes on business, alongside reforming business rates and the axing of the windfall tax on oil and gas Labour should prioritise infrastructure investment and approval, including more rail projects, alongside a new runway at Heathrow and continued support for Gatwick and Luton.

The work began in late 2019, when the city transportation department hired the company Judlau for $101 million to replace corroding steel and decking along the Riverside Drive Viaduct, which towers above the West Side Highway between 153rd And 161st streets. The roadway, which was built in 1928 and last saw major repairs in 1985, had "limited remaining life," city engineers said at the time.

All those (AI) agents need management, automation, scalability control, maintenance, testing and orchestration. This was the central remit that CamundaCon set out to explore. Camunda's process orchestration and automation conference was held this month at the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel. With end-to-end orchestration in its sights, did the company manage to deliver on its promise of "AI with no BS" (as the banner read on the hotel exterior) or would this event fuel more of the AI hype-cycle?

Kansas has made available $23 million to improve broadband infrastructure through the Kansas Broadband Acceleration Grant (BAG) program. Providers will be able to offset capital expenses they need to deploy service in unserved areas of Kansas with state grants of up to $2 million. Applications will be accepted from today, October 3, through the end of the month. The BAG program is in its fifth year.

A hole opened on a crumbling sidewalk near Battery Park that briefly gave passersby a peephole into the subway - and a reality check about how thin the ground actually is. The baseball-sized hole in the asphalt of Battery Place and State Street opened sometime last week, according to a hair-raising Instagram video, but it has since been covered with an orange traffic cone bolted to the ground.

Curran's argument is that as we become more and more connected, we increase our collective vulnerability to mass-scale breakdowns and manipulation. While he certainly isn't the first to point out that our increasingly digital lives come at a cost, the scholar warn s that it will take a "systemic digital crisis" before anything changes. As Curran puts it: "there are good reasons to believe that little will be done about these risks until a massive society-wide crisis emerges."

"Climate tech" isn't a thing. It has shifted in recent years from a category to define clean energy companies to an umbrella phrase that loses meaning the more we use it. Granted, the term is everywhere: inserted into VC pitch decks, plastered on billboards along highways from San Francisco to Austin to Boston, wedged into government policy papers, and featured prominently on conference agendas. Media properties from CNBC to GreenBiz rely on it as a traffic-driving category.

I was supposed to do four years, go through university and head back home for family business, decided I liked tech too much. I got my first job at EMC running their networks across I would say a few hundred offices, which was really interesting. From there, I made my way into an ops role, which is where a lot of what we do at RapDev began.

We all know that reforms are overdue, in bureaucracy, in the welfare state, in the economy,

Eric Trump, the son of US president Donald Trump, has hit out at what he described as Ireland's "incredibly lethargic" planning system.

"places absolute priority on ensuring that economic growth returns to Germany, that jobs here are secured"

"Carney recently named the first five projects in the national interest that will be fast-tracked, which is intended to strengthen the country's economy, particularly in the face of U.S. tariffs. One Ontario project was on the initial list building small modular nuclear reactors and Ford said Tuesday that accessing the province's critical mineral-rich Ring of Fire region will be in the next set of projects. It received a nod in Carney's announcement, along with energy, high-speed rail and port projects, suggesting the federal government will indeed work with provinces to bring those to fruition down the line."

"The challenges the State faces today in the delivery of housing and infrastructure are being compounded by the utilisation of our laws in certain circumstances to delay, obfuscate and undermine the efficient delivery of vital projects which would benefit our communities and the common good as a whole," he warned. "In particular, the utilisation of judicial reviews to prevent the delivery of vital accommodation, transport or environmental projects because of technical breaches of statutory rules or procedure is abhorrent to the common good.

To continue his football analogy, Hodgson told host Rosemary Barton he would "describe these five projects as being down in the red zone" the area of a football field close to the goal line. "The Major Projects Office is there to help make sure each of these proponents punches the ball into the end zone, scores a touchdown and builds for Canada."

I'm happy to present today, SB 71 on behalf of Senator Wiener, which will extend the statutory CEQA [California Environmental Quality Act] exemptions for transit and active transportation projects which significantly advance the state's climate, safety, and public health goals while improving access and mobility options to January 1, 2040. SB 71 will also make clarifying changes to existing law and provide exemption parity between ferry and other transit modes.

On August 30, The Wall Street Journal reported that the State of California would not allow Malibu seafood institution the Reel Inn to rebuild on Pacific Coast Highway after the structure burned down in Los Angeles's Palisades Fire in January 2025. In a move that followed days of social media backlash, the California Department of Parks and Recreation issued a letter to Reel Inn on September 5 offering the possibility of reopening the restaurant on the property.

In March 1972, Kurt Stremberg's parents gave him a predawn ride from their house in northwest California to his friend's home in the tiny town of Klamath, about 20 miles south of Crescent City on Highway 101. Stremberg, then 24, and his buddy were going to hitch a ride on a log truck bound for San Francisco, catch a flight to Europe, and see the world.

Just over four years ago, Andrew Cuomo resigned from office. Driven from the governorship over a cascading number of sexual-harassment allegations, he entered the political wilderness only to reemerge this year, when he decided to run for mayor. In the meantime, his little-known lieutenant, Kathy Hochul, became governor. A quiet political force in her own right - she has raised tens of millions of dollars and helped to resurrect a once-moribund statewide

It's a very broad question. But, to start, I think it's important to point out that this is in some respects an entirely new form of business logic and a new form of computing. And so, the first question becomes, if agentic systems are reasoning models coupled with agents that perform tasks by leveraging reasoning models, as well as different tools that have been allocated to them to help them accomplish their tasks ... these models need to run on very high-performance machinery.

Katrina, which was a Category 3 hurricane when it made landfall in southeast Louisiana on Aug. 29, 2005, remains the costliest U.S. storm on record, with damage estimated at upward of $200 billion when adjusted for inflation, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. About 1,400 people died in five states. The failure of the federal levee system inundated about 80% of the city in floodwaters that took weeks to drain.

In the preceding decades of Mao Zedong's long reign, his cyclical policies of class struggle ended up leaving a mess in their wake. Mao achieved some modicum of reduced inequality, albeit in bloody fashion, but those years culminating in the disastrous Cultural Revolution did little to foster economic growth. The government leadership of the '80s, led by Deng Xiaoping, inherited an economy with dismal infrastructure, listless workers, and stagnation.

Colocation capacity in North American datacenters has dropped to a record low of 2.3 percent, with the construction pipeline mostly pre-leased, significantly constraining growth.

The Lewisham upgrade is a £250 million investment to address signalling issues, reflecting a larger trend of increasing rail traffic and age-related infrastructure challenges.

The MTA board approved a $1.97 billion tunneling contract to extend the Second Avenue Subway into East Harlem, marking the start of Phase 2 of the project.
