Bad: Due to recent driver incursion, Goudy School is locking a gate, making Winthrop S. of Foster unreliable as a low-stress SB bike/scooter route. Confident riders can use this detour. Good: @the48thward.bsky.social says they're working w/ 46th and CDOT to extend Broadway PBLs N. to Foster. (1/2)

Today, I, along with @daniellaspata.bsky.social and an overwhelming number of our colleagues, introduced the expansion of the Smart Streets pilot! When this passes, the map with be citywide, and it will be an ongoing program, not a pilot! We will also partner with the Mayor’s office to budget it out

Found another slam-dunk location for co-locating CTA bus turnarounds at a Metra station @nitachicago.bsky.social
Bus #87 lays over at the intersection of 91st/Commercial; bus #95 lays over at Buffalo/92nd. Both sites are within a two-block walk of the 93rd/South Chicago MED terminal. A large vacant lot immediately adjacent to the Metra station is highlighted in yellow.Close-up of 93rd/South Chicago on the CTA system map

Heads up that bikes are being rerouted onto the pedestrian side of the lakefront trail between Randolph and a little north of Monroe. It's not great. #chilft #bikechi

6 lanes for cars, a comfortable median, right outside of a school. But no room for a bike lane.

As our car sizes grow, new evidence points to pedestrian risk - No shit Sherlock!? Combine that with no mandatory technical checks, except for when you sell the car, in Victoria…and you have an even bigger risk. We need to get serious about #TheWarOnCars www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

Researchers who analysed 10,000 crashes say car size does matter
A study of 13 years of crashes in Australia finds a link between car height and risk of pedestrian death, particularly for women and children.
