• Still no updates on the recount. Jamie Smith's team has until Monday to formally request a recount of the mayoral election results (ICYMI: the election was decided by two votes, so, not really decided at all yet – too close to call.) The City Clerk's office said the paperwork hasn't yet been filed, but if/when it is, there'll be another 10 business days for Smith, Christine Erickson and the city to put together the recount board.
    • I asked if there's any scenario where this election is decided before the weekend, and the folks at the City Clerk's office laughed. So...it's gonna be awhile.
  • Traffic calming downtown. Downtown Sioux Falls, Inc. is partnering with the city to launch a month-long traffic calming pilot project along 10th Street between 2nd Avenue and the viaduct. That'll mean reconfiguring lanes a bit to encourage cars to move slower. It'll also make space for food trucks and community events near the 10th Street parking ramp and mural. The calming measures will be in place through July 31. Learn more here.
