The ecosystems within @FPDCC are something to be proud of. These prairies, woodlands and wetlands—many globally rare—are woven deeply into Cook County’s history and identity. Each is a unique and ever-changing wonder to learn about: fpdcc.com/nature/a-tour-of-o…

.@DivvyBikes just designated 60 more public bike racks where riders can park e-bikes & scooters for free. All in high-demand areas with lots of trip ends. Within minutes of going live, they’re already being used! More flexibility & real savings on out-of-station fees
