Part of running a government is knowing you'll get sued. I still find it off-putting that I can call the city's lawyers, ask how they'd like to be sued, and they will give me an answer.

Glad for open response questions because I can suggest items like GTFS-Pathways (which RTA proposed). It's an accessibility upgrade that helps riders navigate large and complex train stations and can handle detours when, for ex. one of two elevators are inoperable. gtfs.org/getting-star...

Tonight (9/29) at Clarendon Park from 5:30-7p. The Park District wants to create additional rules for e-bikes in its parks as allowed by the new micrmobility bill. I expect they may be tighter than the bill passed. Come tell them to leave e-bikes alone. www.chicagoparkdistrict.com/micromobilit...

Kevin Ryan, CTA VP of Security, made a big deal in early 2025 that CTA was proactively terminating unarmed security officers who failed to uphold their job duties. They've terminated only 35 officers since contracts began. Inter-Con: 19 Monterrey: 9 Action K-9: 7

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'

When you are a single-issue organization, you are at risk of excluding other people in your perceived coalition who have other, but related, interests (public transportation, biking, the diverse coalition of environmentalism) that are related to housing. Clearly what happened here.

I am so tired of the vehicles on the lakefront. I go there to avoid them (pic from Monday from frequent offenders Theater on the Lake). My grievance today is against the Chicago Area Runners Association And their pickup trucks. One of them honked at me because he wanted to go faster, on my trail.

The alders' letter references a 2025 report produced by the Equity in Enforcement working group. There's one particular table from the report worth revisiting, reproduced here. The chart is my own approximation, but it shows that a small # of drivers are responsible for a large % of the violations.
Ticket data from the lifetime of the program (through 05/27/2025), provided by the DoF

ASE ticket count	# of vehicles
1-2	3,928,788
3-5	1,167,737
6-10	454,244
11-15	121,330
16-30	78,320
31-50	13,991
51-100	3,690
101-200	370
201-300	31
301-400	5
401-500	3
500+	25*
*This number represents companies or fleets, not individual motorists.Chart showing the percent of ticketed vehicles vs. percent of tickets for Chicago ASE programs through 5/27/2025

The data is imprecise, due to the way it was shared with the public.

Good afternoon from the Linden Purple Line Station! Today I'm doing the unofficial 'L' challenge by riding the entire CTA rail system as fast as I can. You can follow this thread throughout the evening to see if this is truly a 8.25 hour adventure (hint: something will go wrong). Departing at 2:17p.
