This is a disaster for Chicago on so many levels, and yet, I'm still going to attend so many community meetings this year full of people complaining that Chicago is building too much new housing.
Obviously running for mayor. When will we have a mayor that cares about bus riders AFTER they get elected?

I genuinely don’t understand how the politics of red states are more progressive on housing issues than blue states.
Explain to me like I’m 5.
BOOM! The North Carolina State House just unanimously (107 to 0) passed a ban on parking minimums in new developments statewide.
This is powerful and bipartisan pro-housing reform that will make it easier to expand multifamily housing. Great work.

According to the 2023 Census data (estimates) there's 105K-110K people in the city without a car who use public transit to get to work
Now think about all the businesses they work at and keep in business, and what happens to the businesses if those people lcan't get to work now
Fill this out now to save transit in Illinois. my.ilga.gov/WitnessSlip/Crea…

In response to the racist vitriol I’m listening to right now let me say: migrants and undocumented Chicagoans ARE Chicagoans. Their home is HERE. And we are not letting them be stolen away from their communities.

Today CDOT and @ChicagoDOF launched the Smart Streets Pilot Program to keep bus & bike lanes clear for safe, efficient travel. 🚌🚲🚶🏼
A 30-day warning period begins now, with mailed warnings for parking violations in these lanes. More details here: chicago.gov/city/en/depts/ma…

A narrow band of heavy rainfall associated with training t-storms is expected to develop late this evening and continue into Tuesday morning across Northern Illinois. Storms may produce small hail and gusty winds but localized very heavy rainfall is the main hazard. A narrow band of 2-4 inches of rain is possible with widespread 1-2 inches of rain elsewhere. Timing 9pm Monday through 7am Tuesday. #ilwx
Reminds me of Milwaukee Ave every weekday between 5-7.

He could significantly mitigate this by hiking vehicle sticker fees. Drivers get basically free car storage on public property across swaths of our entire city.

Let's talk about equity and speeding in Chicago. 🧵
In 2021, Black Chicagoans were killed in crashes at 3.8x the rate of all other residents.
The West & South sides experience a high concentration of severe crashes vs. downtown, despite having less density & street activity.

Proposed ordinance to lower Chicago speed limit passed out of committee today and soon will be considered by full Chicago City Council. Thx to all who contacted their alders! Here's the testimony we provided on behalf of 13 local organizations. activetrans.org/blog/chicago…
