Chicago Growth Project @chicagogrowthproj.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Join us on October 5 to hear from the legislators and transit advocates who fought during last year’s October veto session to pass the Northern Illinois Transit Authority (NITA) Act that secured our region’s transit future with $1.5 billion of funding and reforms. 100
Chicago Growth Project @chicagogrowthproj.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Last year, Chicagoland public transit was saved from a fiscal cliff that would have decimated service as we know it. 110

Reposted by Chicago Growth ProjectSideStreets @sidestreets.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Chicanes are a street design that slows car traffic to safe speeds without using speed bumps, adds permeable planters that prevent flooding, and makes parking easier with angled spaces. Ask your alderman if a Chicane is right for you! 2276
Chicago Growth Project @chicagogrowthproj.bsky.social · 07/08/2026If you just miss that last bus, you get to watch your tax dollars funding 3 buses that drive away while you have to wait 21 minutes for the next one. We need leaders who not only recognize these frustrating rider experiences, but are committed to long-term solutions (especially on major corridors) 110
Chicago Growth Project @chicagogrowthproj.bsky.social · 07/08/2026If you proposed turning Millennium Park into a parking lot, there would be mass upheaval. Yet 20 years ago, doing the opposite was criticized. That is the power of the status quo. We need to elect bold leaders who have a millennium-style vision of Chicago's future 🏗️🚇 🚲 🌳 010

Too often, our leaders act like change is outside their control when really, it's simply outside their imagination. We have to expand our thinking about what's possible & what can work. We don't have to live this way. chicago.suntimes.com/other-views/...chicago.suntimes.comChicago lacks the will to curb traffic crashes that kill cyclists, pedestriansNationally, deaths of cyclists over the age of 20 have increased almost five times since 1975. 02616

Chicago Growth Project @chicagogrowthproj.bsky.social · 18/06/2026As West Loop continues to grow, we need to be proactive about improving connectivity. Halsted BRT and some bus circulator routes would be (relatively) low effort but massively helpful in supporting office + residential growth in the area. Eventually subway service could be in the cards. 030
