No New Yorker should lose their life just trying to get around our city. We refuse to accept preventable tragedy as an inevitable part of living in New York.
That's why we’ve announced more than 100 policies to make our streets safer over the next 10 years.

A wonky policy update I’m VERY proud of: CDOT updated our TDM rules!
New development should help make it easier to walk, bike, roll & take transit, not just accommodate more cars.
And we made the development review process clearer & more consistent 🚌🚲

Why might the many bicyclists using the Cortland Avenue Bridge and the now carless stretch between Elston and Clybourn to get safely across the Chicago River feel strongly that aldermanic-led plans to restore car traffic ASAP with no apparent provision for safe bicycle passage are misguided?

ICE activity in Chicago has continued into the afternoon today. Video is now circulating online of a federal agent taking a man from Chicago's northwest side Dunning/Portage Park neighborhood around noon; the area is home to both Latine and Polish immigrant communities.

the lack of car traffic on DLSD yesterday and during the holiday today is reminding me of the spring-2020 time when the streets were so much quieter than normal. I know the "cities aren't loud cars are loud" thing is a meme but it really is striking

Honestly between CDOT, cmap, and Parks I've met some phenomenal people who are capable of making a world class park along Lake Michigan with a highly efficient transpo system. Haven't met many folks from CTA but i have no question theyre capable. Let them free to do good! Chicago has the power.

I really liked your story but DLSD becoming a boulevard with rapid transit is not a pipe dream. Highway to boulevard conversions have been done across the planet. Theres no better place on the planet then on the shores of Lake Michigan for the same to happen. @blockclubchi.bsky.social
