New from us! Mayor Brandon Johnson endorsed us in 2023, now he is against our safety. The City of Chicago opposes HB2454, a bill that would make bicyclists intended users of all roads only on a disconnected network of streets rather than all streets.

Donβt have to track oil prices are closely in walkable cities
What does a painted bike lane look like to a driver staring at their phone? I don't know and they don't either.
I started tracking the cost escalation of menu funds since 2020 as some infrastructure options are becoming prohibitively expensive. I've listed prices and overlaid conditional formatting that tracks the rate of change. In general, large concrete projects have increased while asphalt remains level.
We are officially in spring (in the sun) and winter (in the shade) weather
What a mayor
A small format retail shop that just sells zines
One big (small) thing that the USA needs to work on is bringing back small format retail. Out shops are too big.
Mamdani put out an message saying the city will pay people who show up to city garages with IDs to shovel. Heβs basically speedrunning a #PlowtheSidewalks program.

Just re-upping this because it remains amazing and we should all watch it once per week.
We gotta stop talking about safe street infrastructure like itβs just PBLs.

Iβve been a public servant my whole career and fought against big money interests time and time again.
This campaign is no different.
Donβt let Adam Braun and his endless advertisements fool you.
Really expected better from Fuentes.
Heard on NPR this morning: "do you need to be fibermaxxing?"
People often ask me -- "you want a few kids right? When are you moving to the suburbs? Lincoln Square is a suburb"
No, Jason. I want to pressure my alder to build a diverse set of housing stock in the neighborhood, and prioritize viable alternatives to driving. No one should have to move to thrive.
All of these things are in flight in Illinois right now
