Mr. Netanyahu, antisemitism is a vile and disgusting form of bigotry that has done unspeakable harm to millions. Do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal war policies of your extremist and racist government.
Since the Bears can put up $2 Billion, why not just take that $2 Billion and renovate Soldier Field or find somewhere to build it with their money? #MakeitMakeSense
On 5/1, Chi City Council’s Cmte. on Pedestrian & Traffic Safety will hold a hearing on lowering the default speed limit from 30 to 25 mph. Pls tell your alderperson that this change will make our streets safer for everyone. activetrans.org/blog/lower-spe…
Lincoln & Byron has a new Stop Sign! We are continuing to install traffic controls on walkable commercial streets like Lincoln Ave to guarantee calmer traffic and safety for residents patroning local businesses on foot.
It’s a pretty big deal when this KEY MESSAGE is in Scientific American. It suggests a bigger tipping point. “We Need to Make Cities Less Car-Dependent: Reducing the need for car travel is better for health, the environment and public safety.” Via @sciam scientificamerican.com/article/we-nee…
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)

Want to see motorists traveling at safer speeds? If so, please consider taking action right away. 2 different hearings on reducing speed limits are happening on 4/11: one in Chicago and one at the state level. activetrans.org/blog/make-your…

My friend James Lankford, knowing that minutes later his entire party will vote against our bipartisan bill to fix the border, explaining what it means to be a United States Senator. One of the most important speeches I've heard in 10 years in the Senate. Proud of you, friend.
Awesome. Let’s bring that energy to pedestrian deaths which are up ~68% (per 100K pop) since 2010 while NHTSA has done exactly nothing. The pedestrian “safety standards” written by the auto industry are voluntary, self-graded, pass/fail and don’t impact safety ratings [sales].

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them. Via @StreetsblogUSA usa.streetsblog.org/2019/05/29/pro…
