This Danville, VA city council candidate made a very dramatic video about sidewalks and public safety, and I love it and him. Worrying about a possible milkshake duck situation, I looked at his FB page, but he seems ok. Juneteenth celebrations, community outreach, Methodists. A solid old gent.

My favorite Chicago fun fact is that the soccer fields at Lawrence and Simonds have a water crib essentially buried underneath them. The crib was abandoned and surrounded by landfill as the lakefront was expanded eastward.

Starting October 15, six CTA buses will operate with Automated Bus Lane Enforcement systems as part of the City of Chicago’s Smart Streets pilot.
Automated bus lane, bus stop, and bike lane enforcement starts Wednesday, October 15thKeeping bus stops clear is essential to ensuring that transit is accessible to everyone especially people with disabilities. Bus lanes and bus stops are for buses. Bike lanes are for bikes.
Keeping them clear is essential to ensuring everyone in Chicago gets where they need to go, safely and on time.That's why we're launching automated bus lane, bus stop, and bike lane enforcement to improve rider safety and transit efficiency.

Such a powerful video from @boston.gov and @streets.boston.gov about the impact of e-bikes (and the city's e-bike voucher program). Just look at the joy these bikes have brought to Steven and Muriel Leonard!

Chicago letting private cars through Wrigleyville mid game but making busses detour is a good metaphor for America in 2025 as well

as i've said before I have no authority in this space,no formal background/academic certification, not a planner, engineer, city official or even worked in transportation and no desire to. just thought that if kids had safe spaces to walk/bike/roll independently that would be a good thing.

WBEZ said that the 606 extension is no longer happening chicago.suntimes.com/real-estate/...
“Sterling Bay touted Metra’s Clybourn stop as a five-minute walk from the property. Its master plan included an extension of the 606, the pedestrian and bike trail that connects North Side neighborhoods. It even had a fanciful sketch of a skate park running beneath the nearby Kennedy Expressway. Neither the 606 extension nor the skate park is in the works any longer.“
