The White House continues to make our work harder. They’ve:

✂️ Cut funding for transportation and education
👎 Effectively told families in poverty “you’re on your own”
❌ Presided over the longest government shutdown in history
🚨 Failed to act after Western Maryland was hit by a devastating storm.

The advocacy org People for Bikes rightly criticized Chicago for our lack of protected intersections. CDOT recently installed our first one on the Near South Side, but local City Council rep Pat Dowell is forcing them to tear it out.

conservative urbanist is an oxymoron

If you aren’t going to accept people of all backgrounds in your city then you’re not going to make your city a good place to live.

Some people think urbanism is all about making cities more walkable but it’s not

Urbanism is about making cities better places to live. Which means improving the amenities and resources people have access to as well as making sure people of all walks of life can afford to live in our cities.

It was a big day for Chicago biking today, with Bike The Drive from @atalliance.bsky.social and @aldermanlaspata.bsky.social's Meet Me on Milwaukee, and we ran into so many folks at both! Did you make it out biking today? 👀

And if you missed Meet Me On Milwaukee, we want to show you what the vibes were like! It was a perfect day to get everyone out and about.

Plus, it's happening again on September 28th and October 26th!
