They encourage people to step out of their cars and engage with their surroundings. Walkable streets provide people with a sense of community and are essential in creating a safer and more livable environment.Despite these benefits, many communities still lack walkable streets. This is often due to the prioritization of cars and the construction of wide, busy roads that discourage pedestrian activity. This can lead to a cycle of car dependence, which only serves to further discourage walking and limit the potential for community interaction.To combat this issue, city planners and policymakers should prioritize walkability in their designs. This includes building sidewalks and crosswalks, reducing speed limits, and implementing traffic-calming measures. In addition, creating mixed-use zoning that places shop...

Greener pastures? 2,500 hopeful sheep cross Idaho highway

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:23:25 GMT

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Why did 2,500 sheep cross the road? Because the grass was greener on the other side.In Idaho, it’s not unusual to see ranchers moving a bleating herd of sheep up to higher elevation at this time of year. But the sight of 2,500 wooly beasts trotting across a highway earlier this week brought a crowd about 300 people.It was the largest turnout that Steve Stuebner, spokesperson for the Idaho Rangeland Resources Commission, has seen in 15 years. “It’s a novelty. Maybe they’ve never seen anything like that before, but it’s real typical in Idaho,” he told KTVB-TV. “When you’re out in rural parts of Idaho in the spring and summer, or fall, you could run into a cattle drive or a sheep drive.”Curious onlookers lined the road as the animals sheepishly entered the highway, guided by ranchers and steered by sheepdogs. They traveled up the road a little ways, the fluffy white herd obscuring the yellow-painted centerline amid a chorus of “baas” and the lead ewe’s janglin...

Receiver-rich Vikings make ideal fit for Jordan Addison

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Jordan Addison and the Minnesota Vikings hit it off during his pre-draft visit, which ended a vow from coach Kevin O’Connell that they would take him with the 23rd overall pick in the NFL draft if the USC wide receiver was still available.“Once Minnesota came up, I just kept checking my phone,” Addison said.But surely other teams made the same easy, empty promise?“Yeah, they said that, but they didn’t stick to their word, so I’m glad to be a Viking,” said Addison, who was the fourth consecutive wide receiver to come off the board Thursday. “This is where I’m supposed to be at. They believe in me, and I’m just glad to be here.”The Vikings began the second day of the draft without a second-round pick from the trade they made last November with Detroit to acquire Hockenson. They entered Friday with the 87th overall selection, in the third round.The synergy is strong between Addison and the Vikings, who have as rich of a lineage at wide receiv...
