The inbound #66 just arrived at 9:10pm which appears to be the train equipment for #67 8:40pm outbound. @metraUPW @Metra these alerts should be a little more timely on the website and elsewhere. – at Chicago, IL

Each and every fresh snow reveals how much we’ve over-designed our streets and roads for cars, making them faster and more dangerous, and how much space we could reclaim for people and public life. We call them #sneckdowns. GIF via @otucis #sneckdown
