It's the Friday News Roundup! Host Trenae Nuri and executive producer Matt Katz discuss the news of the week, from the split between Mayor Parker and City Council over her big housing initiative to the pending arrival of driverless cars on the streets of Philly to the deplorable egging of an Eagles coach’s home. 

Our Friday news roundups are powered by great local journalism: 

  • City Council took a rare stand against Mayor Parker by allotting more housing funds to the poorest Philadelphians
  • Restaurateurs call for expanded sidewalk dining ahead of 2026 tourism surge
  • A man died driving on Northwest Philly’s winding, wet roads. The neighborhood has tried addressing the danger for decades.
  • A Philadelphia police officer critically injured in a motorcycle crash six years ago has died
  • Waymo eyes Philadelphia expansion
  • Self-driving car company Waymo officially expands to Philadelphia, has started letting cars drive themselves
  • Police confirm Kevin Patullo's home was egged over weekend
