There was a guy in a packers shirt on the cta platform and the operator wouldn’t open the door and said on the loudspeaker “no packers fans allowed on my train!” We’re so back

Chicago's missing middle initiative is one of the more under discussed hosing programs in the county. This single portion of the initiative is delivering 27 units across 9 3-flats in one of Chicago's more disinvested communities at just $240,000 per unit. chicagoyimby.com/2026/07/grou...

Haiti should be incredibly proud of that performance. I hope this team inspires Haitians at home and players from the diaspora across France and the States to play for them in the future. What a team they have. #WorldCup

Obviously we need to figure out how to get infra costs under control, but this will be a transformational project for the far south side. And don’t forget the creation of a new rail yard will do wonders for the entire Red Line Corridor!

I will also say that those numbers don’t really match up with that I see along those areas but I guess they must be, 20-30 feet is roughly the height of like a single family home i think. I might cross check a couple of these manually over the summer or something. I guess maybe the parking does it.

Lucas Sreniawski @chitransitplanner.bsky.social · 04/02/2026
Kind of crazy that despite these numbers I’m pretty sure the north side mainline was basically at capacity during rush hour pre pandemic. I think the blue line was close too.

Chicago is actually really bad at building TOD. There are only 34 'L' stations in the entire city where the average surrounding building height is greater than 30 feet, and 16 of them are in the Loop.
Map showing average height for buildings within a quarter-mile of each CTA 'L' station in Chicago. 

Individual building height was calculated using the difference between a 2018 digital surface model (DSM) and digital elevation model (DEM) and using the median value within a building's footprint.

DEM and DSM models were provided by the Illinois State Geological Survey. Building footprint data (2017 vintage) were downloaded via the City of Chicago data portal.

Yeah exactly, I’m not sure. Maybe the next big stimulus bill someday will include money to extend the Evanston platforms to accommodate 8 car trains and it won’t matter!

Which is of course a massive liability.

Lucas Sreniawski @chitransitplanner.bsky.social · 02/02/2026
I’d assume there’s some sort of technical limitation and they’re probably also worried about people going through the emergency exit doors on the Evanston portions of the route into the out of use cars, where they’d then be able to pull the emergency door open handle and exit the train that way.

The campaign against apartments and affordable housing in Edgewater as part of the Broadway rezoning has opened a new front: Attacking a widely praised and effective property tax program that supports mixed-income and affordable housing. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/01/26/o...

Jack Markowski: Adding tax abatements on top of Broadway’s upzoning is fiscally irresponsible
Tax abatements are not intended to be a wasteful subsidy for development that is already required to include affordable units.

The Illinois Senate Primary to determine Dick Durbin's successor is in 51 days. Of the viable candidates, I believe Lt. Gov Juliana Stratton has come closest to meeting the tragic moment we find ourselves in. Presently, her candidacy has my vote and I urge all Chicagoans to consider likewise.

No I didn’t and I’m sure there were but to me there’s just nothing like the energy the bears bring when they’re good. Hugging strangers in bars, people signing in the streets, nothing better than that.

No offense whatsoever to Michael here but this is definitely one of my “man there is a whole other world out there” moments for me because I didn’t feel any of this, but from my view the Bears had the entire city rocking the past 6 weeks or so. And I consider myself very politically involved!

Seems like a lot of people had this idea in their head that MLS should spend more money but if they did they wouldn’t spend that money on Americans lol. There’s no world where MLS teams open the wallet more and don’t use it to bring in local and regional talent.
