What we're reading this morning. Wild turkeys; sleep apnea; bike lanes; pee-UEDs; Uncle Joe

Stories from around the Web that we're reading this morning. Something for everyone.

Wild turkeys return to West Philly. Last seen in the area in 2013, they were smart enough to avoid Thanksgiving. westphillylocal.com

How bike lanes and shared streets pay for themselves, and then some. Forcing cars to share the road can yield tangible economic returns fast, new study finds. phillymag.com

Tumblr of the moment: What urban experiential displays would look like throughout Philly. Envisioning UEDs bringing infotaining razzamatazz to the City of Brotherly Love's most iconic locations. philebrity.com
