  • Summary

  • City Cast Philly is the daily news podcast about the city you love (and maybe sometimes hate?) and the Philadelphians who are working hard every day to make this place better. Each weekday morning, host Trenae Nuri will chat with people all across Philly’s diverse neighborhoods about issues that matter to you. Whether that’s what do I even do on the weekends in this city with endless options, or how do I get the bus to actually stop, or how is this city going to keep our kids safe and educated? City Cast Philly is here for it all. It’s that energetic, informative conversation you might overhear at your neighborhood coffee shop. But with City Cast Philly, you’re always welcome to join in.

  • Does the New Bike Lane Law Make Us Safer?

    Does the New Bike Lane Law Make Us Safer?
    Feb 24 2025
    Bike lanes are a contentious issue in the city, especially on Pine and Spruce Streets, the busiest with cyclists. In 2024, Mayor Cherelle Parker signed a law completely banning any vehicle from stopping in a bike lane. Some Center City residents say it's absurd to prevent them from easily accessing their homes, while bicycling advocates say the law saves lives. In a two-part conversation, host Trenae Nuri talks with Nicole Brunet, policy director of Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia about this change in Philly’s traffic policy.
