Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

St. Louis's $300-million explosion of sustainable transportation projects and policy initiatives have been making a lot of news in the Gateway to the West. As the city accumulates headline-grabbing grants, though, it's also quietly gaining an army of newly unified advocates who are pushing the city to spend that money right — and becoming a newsworthy phenomenon unto themselves.

On the recent bike tour of those upcoming projects hosted by Mayor Tishaura Jones, one of the largest groups to be invited was the St. Louis Coalition to Protect Cyclists and Pedestrians — or, as they sometimes jokingly refer to themselves, CP2. In addition to gaining the ear of the mayor, the collective has become a frequent feature on local news stations for their creative efforts to push for better policy and design, even in an era of historic investment when other advocates might be taking a victory lap.
