So far over 150 people have contacted their alders demanding no cuts to safe streets this upcoming budget season. Great start but we need to keep the momentum going! Tell your friends and family, no cuts, we need to invest in saving lives. Contact your alder: activetrans.quorum.us/campaign/168...

I don’t have access to any patient-specific details. But as an infectious disease specialist I can say with 100% certainty: having measles was bad for them. Can’t believe this needs to be said 🤦🏻‍♂️

“Carney’s official statement deserves to be read in full, slowly, with a beer, because underneath the diplomatic wallpaper it’s the most quietly savage document a G7 leader’s put out in years. It reads like a bank manager foreclosing on a bloke’s entire self-image & the bank manager is enjoying it.”

Riley was one of the few people you meet in public service that was always positive, always kind, and always believing he could play a role in making something better. When you find a magic Riley rack that is still free Divvy parking, Riley left it there for you. 💙🚲

Riley was killed by a driver yesterday while riding in a painted bike lane on Halsted in Bridgeport. My life was personally improved by some of the bike racks Riley installed despite never knowing him. Please drive safely & advocate for safer bike lanes. Paint is not protection.

As a CDOT employee, this is a crushing loss. But I consider Riley a dear friend and colleague. This is unbelievably heartbreaking and I'll make sure that my work moving forward is doubling down on his efforts to make our city a safer place.

I am remembering how two years ago a reckless driver destroyed a set of bike parking racks on S. Halsted just 1,300 ft. north of last night's fatal crash site. Tonight, we are calling these and other U-style racks "Riley Racks". We have known Halsted in Bridgeport is unsafe for many years.
A combined set of five U-shaped bike racks in a parking space next to a buffered bike lane on Halsted near 31st. The bike racks have been run over from the northbound direction, while being on the south side of the street.
