I grew up near Chicago & Western, and I hate to see that huge lot just sitting there. I can't wait to see that grow.

How about a brick building with ivy changing color 🔥

A brick four story apartment building covered in mostly green ivy has the chimney and a corner of other ivy turning firey red, while the whole scene is bathed in an orange glow from the setting sun

✅ Low-car city-centre streets ✅ Protected cycle tracks on main roads ✅ Ample cycle parking at shops and huge underground bike parking at the station = Streets safe enough for families to cycle, quieter neighbourhoods for residents and more welcoming cities for visitors. 📍 Delft, the Netherlands

Lincoln square gives other neighborhoods the blueprint for a thriving and pleasant neighborhood, AND has work to do to accommodate the growth. We need single stair, upzoned transit oriented corridors anywhere near a bus stop.

Have y’all been to check out the new protected bike lane on Bryn Mawr? It’s awesome!! There were cars parked in it last week, but they figured it out by today. Can’t believe they installed this right after it stopped being part of my husband’s commute to work lol

Tens of millions of American motorists believe there's nothing wrong with texting at a stoplight. Or driving 73 in a 60mph zone. Or changing lanes without signaling. Or rolling right on red without coming to a full stop. But somebody has to do something about cyclists who don't follow the rules.

The concrete at the side of Leland plaza finally makes sense - they moved the Divvy station there, so it's right on the bike lane!

The "bike bus" idea is simple: Once a week, a group of kids and parents bike to school together. It's an idea being embraced in neighborhoods around Chicago as a way to socialize and push back against car-centric culture, parents say.

Instead of driving to school, more kids are taking the 'bike bus'
