Sidewalks are the most fundamental component of our transportation system. Chicago’s over reliance on the sidewalk shared cost program exacerbates inequities in access. We fund what we prioritize, and it’s time for Chicago to prioritize sidewalks. news.wttw.com/2024/04/18/who…
Why is the CTA struggling to hire when NYC, DC, and SF have met or exceeded their pre-pandemic staffing levels? Current leadership is failing Chicago riders. Mayor Johnson and Governor Pritzker should appoint a new board and a new president should lead the CTA to recovery. (3)
In the past year… We’ve hosted 15 rides We’ve partnered with incredible groups and businesses We’ve made new friends We’ve shared laughs We’ve shared inner tubes We’ve shared the joy of riding our bikes all over the great city of Chicago 🫶🏼
We were devastated learning of the tragic killing of Dexter Reed. As members of the @Free2movechi coalition, we've joined the call for an end to pretextual traffic stops. Read the full Free2Move statement & learn more about @impactforequity's 2023 report: betterstreetschicago.org/f2m-dexter-reed
“Unfortunately, the design CDOT is considering for this intersection fails to live up to the values and the vision of Complete Streets. The only clear imperatives for these streets seem to be two lanes for car traffic in each direction.” - @AldermanLaSpata chicagobusiness.com/opinion/bus-bi…
“What we choose to build will either encourage thousands of Chicagoans to embrace public transit and micro-mobility or abandon it altogether.” Exactly right, @AldermanLaSpata! @ChicagoDOT must shift its priorities at Chicago/Halsted — and citywide. chicagobusiness.com/opinion/bus-bi…
The Illinois House Transportation Regulations, Roads & Bridges committee passes HR0438, on a 13-0 vote! The resolution will be reported favorably to the house floor.
It’s true, we’re in the building. ⬇️
Happening today at 3pm: @chi_streets will give oral testimony at the House of Representatives regarding HR0438, a resolution from @RepKamBuckner urging IDOT to transform DuSable Lake Shore Drive into a boulevard. Tune into room D-1 on this feed ilga.gov/houseaudvid.asp
It’s fantastic that Rep Buckner introduced a resolution calling for a new and better vision for DuSable LSD, and we need you to go on record as a proponent! Instructions given, but it’s simple, do it right now! #northDLSD

It might have eclipsed 🌒 your memory yesterday, but that’s ok there’s still time! If you support transforming DLSD into a boulevard and think IDOT’s plan to build an interstate-highway on the lakefront is unacceptable, take a minute to do this simple action today! ⬇️

489 Followers 645 Following CEO & Publisher of Reader Institute for Community Journalism, @Chicago_Reader.@chi_streets I totally agree and that’s why I introduced legislation to require @ChicagoDOT replace all sidewalks that utilities don’t restore so we have new sidewalks once the total project is completed. I need some help getting the administration to understand the need to make this happen.
Side note: Evanston ended its Shared-Cost Sidewalk Program in 2021 after engineers identified blocks that had been ignored for decades while the wealthiest/most politically engaged folks jumped the line. Now Evanston takes a citywide approach to ID and fix the worst first.
Why is the CTA struggling to hire when NYC, DC, and SF have met or exceeded their pre-pandemic staffing levels? Current leadership is failing Chicago riders. Mayor Johnson and Governor Pritzker should appoint a new board and a new president should lead the CTA to recovery. (3)
Pres. Carter assured me that the CTA would be increasing the frequency of service across the City in the spring. The CTA's newest schedule increases Brown Line service by only 1%, while reducing service on the Red, Green, Orange, Pink, and Yellow lines (per @ctaaction data). (2)
🚃In February, I met with CTA President Dorval Carter about one of the most pressing concerns I hear from residents: the CTA's unreliability. Since 2019, the CTA has reduced Brown Line service by nearly 30%. This is unacceptable. (1) blockclubchicago.org/2024/04/15/cta…

Chicago is at a crossroads- literally! “We are on the cusp of a historic redesign of the Chicago Avenue and Halsted Street intersection by the city Department of Transportation, and the choices are about a lot more than just some red paint, concrete and bollards."
