Transit funding coming to Chicago like 🚇

Everyone’s talking about Illinois’ big transit bill, but here’s what you might’ve missed: it also eliminates parking mandates near high-frequency transit stops statewide! ✨🥳

What counts as high-frequency transit?
🚇 Within 1/2 mile of rail stations and bus hubs
🚍 Within 1/8 mile of bus corridors

The demand for walkable neighborhoods has never been higher, but the public transit system our walkable neighborhoods depend on faces an existential threat.

Please call your legislators and demand they save Illinois public transit. 🚇🤝🏘️

Big housing wins like the Broadway upzoning don’t happen by chance — they happen because people organize, show up, and keep showing up. 💪

Thank you to all of our members who attended yesterday's Zoning Committee meeting in person to support abundant housing. 🐐
