+[A/B Street] by [@dabreegster] is a traffic simulation game exploring how small
+changes to roads affect cyclists, transit users, pedestrians, and drivers, with
+support for any city with OpenStreetMap coverage. The project aims to engage
+more citizens with transportation planning, letting people advocate for real
+changes they want to see.
+
+In May, travel time stopped being the only "score" for how well road changes
+work. Risk exposure of cyclists crossing dangerous intersections or travelling
+in front of high-speed traffic is now measured, with lots of data visualization
+work by Michael. Trevor also revived the 15-minute isochrone tool, finding
+areas of a city without easy access to education, hospitals, or other
+facilities. We also moved the map import process, with over 100 supported maps,
+to the cloud from a single poor laptop. OpenStreetMap importing now handles
+multiple turn lanes, U-turns, and stop signs much better.
