I genuinely believe most Chicagoans want this in their neighborhood. Better Streets Chicago will be one of the orgs to get city "leaders" to move on this.

I feel like folks who leave house keys hiding under welcome matts are playing with fire. I literally saw my neighbor doing this today.

I’m working from home today. Has anyone tried riding on Chicago Ave? Is there a temporary protected lane there, or is it just thoughts and prayers?

I remember the last time the Milwaukee Ave bike lane was closed in this area and CDOT said Chicago Ave was a suitable detour lol

2nd time I’ve seen this happen in this spot. You’d think professional drivers would know better, but alas.

One of the stoplights at the Milwaukee-Kinzie intersection hasn't been working for a week or so, and the lead driver always gets honked at for a long minute before they figure it out.

I've been having intrusive fantasies about egging the cybertruck that's parked in my neighborhood, but the fact that it's probably been recalled is hopefully frustrating enough for the owner.

It’s amazing how I spend ~$100 for a tune up, new chain, and labor, and my 4-year-old bike rides like new. Support your local bike shops.

Every time I file a witness slip I’m tickled that someone might go through all the trouble of engaging with this esoteric and quasi-democratic process just to say they have no position on the legislation being presented

This week bills supporting the safety of bicycles are in their Senate and House committees and we need your help getting them passed. Witness slips are a low-effort way to notify legislators about your position on legislation. Pro-tip, make a my.ilga.gov How to: www.aclu-il.org/sites/defaul...

It's annoying when you're biking around Chicago, and you come across debris from one of the hundreds of car crashes that happen daily. Our streets are littered with broken glass and mangled bumpers.

This is also an opportunity to reduce the number of instances in which police have legal grounds to stop cyclists, often used as pretext for searches in highly racialized patterns of enforcement. Most such stops are for sidewalk riding, but failure to stop also pops up occasionally in these cases.

As of last Thursday, the segment of Milwaukee Ave that cuts through the Logan Square traffic circle is closed forevermore to cars. Traffic was pretty snarled for a few days but has smoothed out quickly.

Micheál has been a foundational part of not just our work, but in advancing Chicago transportation advocacy as a whole.

It’s frustrating that nothing good can happen in our city without years of studies, pilots, campaigning, and leaders visiting European capitals on taxpayer dollars.

It's great how the City of Chicago must have a multi-year process to study and pilot the feasibility of #plowthesidewalks, while an unelected schmuck can accidentally fire 100s of federal workers who manage our nuclear security.

What’s the acceptable amount of time I should wait after a snowstorm to snitch on the owner of the 2 vacant lots across the street for not shoving the sidewalk?
