What's new/changing in the 2028-2032 Divvy contract? - City will collect at least $40M in system revenue (charges at 10% through $40M, 7% for 40-60M, and 5% above $60M) - 4,000 new pillar docs (the newer ones) in the core area for infill (see image) - city gets approval of advertisements

(repost for typo) Some of the feedback from attendees. I gathered the room was generally pro bike. Park Steward at Horner Park wants the Divvy's/Lime off of the 312 trail :/

I find it quite annoying that they took away home rule from every "unit of local government," except park districts et al., considering they are often some of the only safe places to recreate in cities. Park Districts could (but are less likely) ban them entirely.

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.

I'll never understand why the system constantly glitches and will say you will get to stops that are farther away sooner than ones that are nearer

Into Forest Park from the 318 at 6:31. Back out via Blue Line at 6:34. 16 minutes behind. Going to be more behind by O'Hare thanks to FP slow zones. On par for 8h 36m run

Municipal Corporation @nikhunder.com · 16/09/2026
Maybe it will be alright. I arrived at Harlem/Lake at 6:23 and my 318 was right there.

Into Ashland/63rd at 5:03. As expected. The outbound I wanted was leaving as I came in. Hoping the train behind means we leave a little ahead of what is otherwise a 15 minute headway...

They can only keep two trains at 63rd/Ashalnd. It either going to be okay or very bad for my turnaround (photo at Garfield)

Municipal Corporation @nikhunder.com · 15/09/2026
4:46 into Garfield. My train to 63rd/Ashalnd is behind schedule but it is the first in a bunch. Hoping this means the train I come in on turns around faster than its schedule 15 minute break. If I get super lucky, there will be a train waiting for me. Saw my first kids bench.

Municipal Corporation @nikhunder.com · 15/09/2026
I had a quick but anxiety inducing ride to 63rd which I got to at 4:20 after there short stops. I saw my 63 and booked it only to realize a second was behind. It was packed so I took the second at 4:22. Will see if it matters. 5 min ahead of schedule.

Municipal Corporation @nikhunder.com · 15/09/2026
I made it into 95th only 2 minutes behind schedule at 4:07. My inbound is also the next outbound so we started moving north to 63rd at 4:09. I'm only a minute behind schedule. When will the bad luck come?

On my way to 95th, I finished up my book which I hadn't anticipated finishing as a tragedy.

Municipal Corporation @nikhunder.com · 15/09/2026
Into Howard at 3:01 which means I missed my 3p. Another took off at 3:05. Expecting to be at 95th around 4:10p

Municipal Corporation @nikhunder.com · 15/09/2026
Into Dempster-Skokie at 2:48. Back out at 2:50. Going to be close if this Red Line is truly leaving at 3p.

Municipal Corporation @nikhunder.com · 15/09/2026
I made it into Howard at 2:29. I'm back out for my Yellow Line leg at 2:37. I'm not worried about being six minutes behind already although I would appreciate making my 3p Red Line to 95th

I took off at Linden right at 2:17 and so we are off!

Today's route is the fastest I've been able to pencil out a run at 8 hours and 18 minutes. Half an hour below the fastest run set. So much will need to go right to get under that 8h 48m run. Things will go wrong so it's nice to have a half hour of fluff.

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.

The 48th Ward has submitted an ordinance to reduce the default speed limit on many of its residential streets. They cited the high cut-through rate on these streets.

I see CTA got bullied into changing the Western Bus Terminal from see through polycarbonate that would intensify heat into something more frosted that actually provides some shade

I would frame this photo by Andrew O'Rourke for the @activetransportation.org. It looks like victory.
A woman taking a photo of bikers rolling NB on a car free Lake Shore Drive from the concrete median barriers stands in front of a friend who has raised his her bike above her head, upside-down. Behind several hundred cyclists on the drive are more than 10 skyscrapers including the John Hancock building.
