Wouldn't be a municipal election without him spoiling the race for conservatives.

Station construction is phase ♾️.

There will also be a Pink Line stop on the southeast corner of the lot, so this would be a waste of space that should be moved elsewhere.

You won't be able to ride that bike to see the Chicago Stars play at Ryan Field because: 1. Northwestern refused a deal to install a divvy rack at Ryan Field. 2. Evanston is not allowing the Chicago Stars to get an event permit.

But Navy Pier is not in East Side…

"Don’t let Sarge see that right there." The police officers couldn't be bothered to stop impaired drivers blowing stop signs, and the 'Civilian Office of Police Accountability' said that's cool with them.

That building is so chill.

Got to love that curb cut explicitly opening into the bike lane…

The car industry never offered compensation to the residents whose front yards they stole to store their products. They never lobbied to ensure that the land they stole for street parking was fully funded by fees on drivers. It's no different from the cities they razed to ground to build highways.

It should be noted that OEMC flies three flags in its lobby. None of them are for traffic aides getting hospitalized in the line of duty, which might tell you how much their department cares about city worker safety.

“Sometimes you’re watching a lady cross the road on a cell phone against oncoming traffic, not even paying attention, and you’re trying to save their lives, but then they yell out to you, ‘You don’t need to tell me what to do, I’m grown.’"

'Three years ago, while working an event at Northerly Island, Corbett was hospitalized by a driver who admitted to intentionally hitting her. “I was trying to stop a vehicle, and I had my flashlight out in my hand with my vest, and the guy just continued to drive without stopping," she said.'

'On May 18, a supervising traffic control aide was struck by a driver near Soldier Field. The driver fled the scene. A week later, another aide was struck near Rate Field on 35th. The driver only stopped when bystanders physically got in the way of their car.' The thin orange line keeping us safe.

She also tried to rip out the Dodge Ave protected bike lanes, an all-around gem of a person…

“Rainey, 83, hopes to return to elected office after five years away, following her 2021 election loss.” Ald. Rainey was famously described in a 2018 city council meeting by Ald. Suffredin: “That’s such bulls**t Ann. Everything that you do is subject to scrutiny because you’re sketchy as f***.”

Our stormwater management agency is a political launching pad for board members and completes billion-dollar megaprojects funded by taxpayers. If they have no jurisdiction in upstream matters, and are not lobbying to change that, they are failing their mission to mitigate stormwater impacts.

Chicago has had a lot of chatter about how adopting a city charter would fix our various maladies. In New York, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social had to put together a charter revision committee to suggest ballot questions that would stop requiring public hearings to build accessible ramps to businesses.

@mwrdgc.bsky.social had a strategic plan that just closed for public comment. It doesn't propose anything that would reduce impermeable surfaces, so I assume it wasn't to be taken seriously. mwrd.org/what-we-do/s...

Depaving the Drive would be acceptable too. SR99 shows that tolls that make car tunnels financially feasible make drivers balk, and most of car traffic still evaporates.

If we were cool we’d turn the Kennedy into a boulevard with significantly less lanes, so we could fit that + the cta + prairie But we have to consider the DRIVERS
