On this week’s Fresnolandia podcast, Jordan and Dani bring on Greg Weaver, Fresnoland’s environmental reporter, to talk about why the latest efforts to revive the next version of Measure C, Fresno County’s transportation sales tax, are failing. They also talk about whether we’ll have the light rail conversation in the near future (spoiler: probably not).

Jordan, as a librarian, also talks about the latest library expansion in northeast Fresno, and the difficulties in retrofitting a former Rite-Aid in the process.

Finally, they answer two reader questions, one about why downtown isn’t urbanizing, and another about what’s going on at Blackstone and McKinley.
