Normally on Wednesdays‚ we publish The Fixer‚ our weekly roundup of solutions in the news. But we’re trying something slightly different: a weekly glimpse of the stories our team is talking about on Slack‚ the messaging platform where we discuss solutions‚ opportunities‚ stories in progress and news that gives us hope. Let us know what you think at info@reasonstobecheerful.world. Changing lanes Those of us who like to get around on bikes — a category that includes most of the Reasons to be Cheerful team — can find ourselves frustrated by the limitations of navigation apps. Sometimes a suggested route turns out to be dangerous or impassable. That’s why a Bloomberg CityLab story about Google Maps’ efforts to make its maps better for cyclists caught Audience Engagement Manager Mariel Lozada’s attention. “As a cyclist‚ this is an issue I’ve faced multiple times!” Mariel says. And though the problem is not yet fully solved‚ she’s glad to know that something is happening. In somewhat related news‚ it turns out that New York City’s new minimum wage for delivery workers‚ which RTBC reported on last summer‚ is leading to safer riding conditions. According to Streetsblog NYC‚ raising workers’ pay “is incentivizing workers to slow down‚ stop at red lights‚ and follow the rules of the road.”  Credit: koumaru / Shutterstock In the wind Editorial Director Rebecca Worby shared a Sierra Magazine story about what could become the United States’ first floating offshore wind farm off the coast of Maine.

Krause‚ who lives in Maine‚ also wrote a great story we published last month about a river’s recovery after dams were demolished.
