to discuss:

1. 
   Waymo Bringing Robotaxis to St. Louis: Waymo has begun mapping the city as it prepares to launch its driverless robotaxi service. David can talk about what this could mean for transportation policy, regulation, and any local oversight as autonomous vehicles enter the St. Louis market.
2. 
   Gateway South Fire and $87 Million in Tax Credits at Risk: A major fire destroyed several historic warehouses tied to the Gateway South development, jeopardizing $87 million in federal and state historic tax credits. The fire is tragic, but it also raises important questions about why these incentives were issued in the first place and how cities approach risk when subsidizing large redevelopment projects.
