It’s said that humans need a common enemy to come together. It looks like Chicago bike world finally got one😂

I am good at bikes and want to help. They took one of the dads from my son's day care and that's not right. We can go back to fighting about infrastructure when this over. Thanks

I saw like half of Chicago Bluesky at this event. It was a spectacular success.

The alderman is gathering feedback so they can continue to iterate.

Here’s what I asked for:
• tables/benches
• invite other chambers and alders to experience this, and share sales data

Dogs are getting vaccinated less and rabies rates are rising, in part because 37% of Americans think vaccines will give their dogs... pawtism.

www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
Worries about vaccination rates in dogs As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs — and their owners — becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in a nationally representative sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.

I will give $500 to the campaign of someone who runs against Scott Waguespack.

He is terrible on housing and mobility.

A kid in my neighborhood got hit by a driver yesterday while he was walking to school.

A neighbor has raised concerns about the intersection to my alderman before, and they told her they expect drivers to roll through stop signs 🙃
My 8th-grade son was hit by a car that blew by a stop sign at Claremont and Roscoe around 7:40 this morning when he was walking to Lane. He says he is ok thankfully, but the driver was going fast enough that the side mirror fell off when it hit my son in the hand. Does anyone that lives at that intersection have any video? Car inexplicably did not stop. Old white car (he thinks a Honda but happened fast). Thanks, neighbors. Care • Comment @ Send Roscoe Village/Hamlin Park Neighborhood News I live at this intersection (Roscoe and Claremont). Unfortunately, we don't have cameras and weren't home at the time. I did call the alderman's office a couple of years ago and emphasized there was a serious issue at this intersection and someone is going to get killed. The response I got from the person in the office was that all the stop signs on Roscoe were put up (as an IDOT plan I think they said to deter speeding and prevent it from being a main cut through street (which it has become regardless, unfortunately). They actually said they expect people not to entirely stop and this wasn't the purpose of putting them all up. To enforce would slow down traffic. A couple of weeks ago someone got hit badly on a bike and taken by ambulance at the same intersection. I will call again, and if many others do as well, it could make a difference. It's also steps away from where the kids are parking and walking to school. Sorry this happened to your son, Andy! •• • Street view of the intersection

Please do the same! #bikechi

Every dollar invested in the CTA directly causes $13 of economic activity, if the CTA is forced to cut 40% of its budget because Uber killed the transit funding bill it will shrink the Illinois economy by over 9 billion dollars.

The IL legislature failed public transit last night. Chicago desperately needs a bike grid to fill the gap, with or without a fully functional CTA. Tell your alderman we need better bike infrastructure! actionnetwork.org/letters/i-st...
I strongly support protected bike lanes in my ward.
As more an more Chicagoans choose to bike to destinations across the city, the need for better bike infrastructure is quickly becoming apparent. While some wards have made progress towards creating sa...

Lincoln Square Road Closure and Accompanying Comments From The Local Facebook Page (April 2025)
Picture of kids and adults gathering on Lincoln Square, playing jump rope. Text overlay saying "I will never understand the appeal of playing in a street" Picture of Chicagoans of all ages lounging on Lincoln square, enjoying a beautiful spring day. The sun is out and there is chalk art covering the ground. In the foreground a man in sunglasses sits on a yellow bench. Text from a local facebook group reads "It's really unfortunate that they feel the need to create this kind of chaos for the community, our square, and the small businesses trying to thrive here, this feels like a targeted effort." a man blows bubbles for a group of children playing in Lincoln Square, the kids are jumping and pointing at the bubbles. many adults are circled around watching. A quote from the Lincoln Square facebook page reads "FORGET ABOUT IT. Ban kids from playing in the street." A wide shot of Lincoln Square. People are congregating in the road, lined up to patronize local businesses, or sitting on the curb watching neighbors stroll by. A truncated facebook comment states "how dare you... People like you in this community absolutely disgust me."

Close down car access to one street and you’d think the world was coming to an end if you never left Facebook.
