Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Fun Fact: the faster a car goes the more emissions it spews. Thanks for the high quality smog as I enjoy the premier city park State of Illinois and City of Chicago. Please dont lock this BS in for 100 more years 111
Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 27/04/2026we could extend Chicago's emerald ring boulevard system to our lakefront and have it be the most chill quiet beautiful relaxing park possibly in the country. But not with wasteful corrupt anti-life bureaucrats at IDOT @govpritzker.illinois.gov 020
Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 22/04/2026How about instead of a highway we build something high-impact with positive externalities that'll make our park more accessible and pleasant. Like the inexpensive BRT in this picture. You'll need to hire world class thinkers at IDOT to do something like this though... @govpritzker.illinois.gov 020
Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Here's the newly reopened State st. What I see here is wasted tax dollars preserving the misguided racist urban planning of the past. Instead of using the money allotted for this project to bring infrastructure into the 21st century CDOT, the Mayor & alderman kept it the same. 120
Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Note all the pedestrians.This space could be thronging with tourists spending money from their fat wallets on a Friday night at 5:45.Nope it all must accommodate a fantasy about traffic. It's nice simply bc it's Chicago but a waste of economic potential and joy.What ethos sustains this in our city? 110
Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 10/02/2026blockclubchicago.org/2026/02/10/c... 17th Ward Alderman: "Right now, these types of things negatively impact my ward” Data: 17th ward 5th most dangerous ward in the city of Chicago to walk or drive What exactly is this alderman doing to curb the extreme violence caused by cars? nothing, oh okay.. 120
Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 28/01/2026Here's another one in River North that would have been better as a pedestrian space @leniann.bsky.social . Google had originally proposed a car turnaround at the Thompson Center, where there was originally a large plaza, but thankfully listened and axed the turnaround from the final plan. 000
Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 28/01/2026They did this twice in Lincoln Park and it is complete ass. I hope they don't put a turnaround here because that'd just suck.What kind of weakness incentivizes this type of ass development? People could walk through a quiet beautiful uninterrupted public plaza to a taxi stand on street level instead 430
Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 30/12/2025this is after they starved over 135,000 refugees to death. www.propublica.org/article/keny... 000
Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 22/12/2025Someone with a degree in transportation proposed this for Grant Park. (ironically some traffic engineers are only expected to take 2 or 3 transportation courses to build our environment hence blight, entitlement, pollution, rudeness, violence, and traffic everywhere in America) 030
Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 04/08/2025IL Legislatures, hard at work making sure our almost amazing transit network never reaches it's true potential. 030
Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 17/07/2025Update on Grant Park Meeting: After doing some digging someone found a video on facebook from the "Grant Park Advisory Council" in June 2025 saying that the July 22nd meeting will be to consider alternatives based on previous public feedback. Very important for people show up! Should be fun! 120
Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 11/07/2025@mayorofchicago.bsky.social Why are you all doing this process over again and wasting taxpayer dollars? We already went through months of public comment. Is it because your garbage park district pick, carlos rosa, is a complete moron who wants to continue the 1950s era park desecration w/ cars? 3110
Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 17/06/2025Prices gonna go up up up, that's what corruption does. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... 000
Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 09/05/2025Put on a hoodie and go for a bike ride today! 55° and 7mph winds!! 051
Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 21/03/2025I highly suggest if @democrats.org care about winning they start adopting language about material reality like FDR does in this quote. I too frequently see empty meaningless slogans. Knowing my elderly neighbors are going to be harmed pisses me off. If a dem cant relate to us they should step down. 091
Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 17/02/2025Whoa just downloaded Openstreetmap on my Android. Can't wait to start using it! So sick of all these fascist toe-licker companies. 030
Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 07/02/2025@govpritzker.illinois.gov IL ranks 47 in worst air pollution in the US and pretty high up there in Asthma rates. Why is @illinoisdot.bsky.social giving a presentation to Union League Club about making a bigger highway along our states best natural asset? Make it make sense 020
Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 21/01/2025I took the express bus this morning at about 740 and the lake was steaming(??) too. So beautiful! Really is a natural wonder 😍 110
Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 14/01/2025Those bike lanes are def pretty radical shift imo! That's good, but the park space design seems weird to me. What's with all the zig zags and stuff? For example here's a Spanish soccer stadium. Props to them for thinking outside the box, though. Glad someone is. 100
Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 10/12/2024How can we decide on a new flag when none of them include our greatest cultural icon Pic related 020
Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 04/12/2024As soon as I connected the dots of the "x" logo being a spin on nazi symbology I was done with the website. Picture is of a nazi sub from WWII at the science and industry museum in Chicago 330
Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 06/11/2024Voters across the nation attribute socialist policies to trump and high grocery prices to Biden. One political "positive" we'll see in the next 4 years is everyone's taxes will go up because the 2017 tax 'cuts' will expire and people will be like 'wtf why am I paying more.' 031
Alex @3eeutiful.bsky.social · 08/10/2024My problem is this paragraph. How can you interpret the rhetoric coming from the Netenyahu government as anything but genocidal? 000
