Nothing like a proposal for a modest amount of lower-income housing nearby to find out who your neighbors are.

Unsurprisingly the Clark bike lane from Devon to Ashland is basically impassable due to snow. Really wish Chicago cared as much about about winter bike lane maintenance as they do clearing the road for cars

Just witnessed a driver run through THREE red lights along Sheridan. It's going to be really hard to convince me we don't need ticketing capabilities on every traffic light.

Visited Hyde Park for the first time in a WHILE over the weekend. Pleasantly surprised taking the CTA there and back was convenient. Sure, CTA was 30 longer than driving🙄
Unexpectedly the wait for the Garfield bus was brief. I wish it was this way all the time.

Just saw a 8 and 17 minute wait for a southbound Red Line train. I'd pay a quarter more for the train if it meant higher frequency.

Took the Ravenswood Greenway home last night and I *think* CDOT finally knows how to build a proper raised crosswalk. Sorry, no pictures but I could swing around that way this evening if y'all really want some.

Day-One service priorities should be identifying barriers to increasing all-day Metra frequencies, and reassessing the CTA and Pace’s parallel bus network redesigns to see what can be salvaged or start fresh with what we should’ve initially done (plan the network, then assign routes to CTA or Pace).

NITA needs to come out of the gate with bold vision – and action – to create and enforce the “one-network, one-timetable, one-ticket” regional operating model codified in SB2111.

Glad we’re saving our intercity bus terminal but it would’ve been nice to more thoroughly explore relocation options to somewhere a bit better connected to our regional transit network before making a $50 million investment to take it over

Militarized local, state, & federal police used physical violence, chemical weapons, & the threat of dogs (as in, multiple - terrible) against people outside the Broadview ICE jail this afternoon. I still have a cough, sore throat, & breathing problems from it, even with a respirator mask.
Outside Chicago—
State police and sheriff's officers at Broadview detention center are out in riot gear.
A large Halloween demo is being prevented from doing a Jericho walk through the intersection.
Arrests of protesters ongoing. Troopers have also assaulted multiple reporters already.
