Waymo is not a last-mile solution, nor a transit solution. And most certainly should not benefit from any of the transit funding we won in fighting for NITA. It is a car-centric proposal that offers no real systems change, shares all the same geometry, capacity, and environmental ills of cars.

You love to see it: A courtyard building with a coffee shop on the ground level.

Six stories of a stately courtyard building with a brick facade and a sizeable tree out front. A yellow sign for Saturn Coffee is mounted over the nearest bay window, with some seating outside near it.

My broader point with my opposition to Waymos is that even if they are individually "safer than a human driver," they will entrench all negatives of car-prioritized society to a degree that is harder to deal with and causes more harm in the long run vs non-Waymo urbanism.

"Can I get on the subway with this instead of an OMNY card?" Sliwa asked, holding up his 'I got my flu shot' button. "Come on, Mr. Mayor!" The CTA should do this for flu & COVID vaccines, a daily or even weekly pass is a small price to pay for vaccine uptake.

the fact that the civilian who had just been stabbed in the neck by a stranger had more presence of mind about the use of force than the responding police officers is the most shocking of indictment of CPD that I can imagine

My fatal flaw is believing that most of Chicago's problems are downstream of this one.

A Prius with its hazard indicators on, parked next to a fire hydrant. A sign directly next to the Prius indicates that this is a tow zone with the text "No Stopping No Standing Tow Zone"

The second that there's an iOS app available for download, I'm going to become sooooo annoying about advertising StreetComplete and the 311 app in every urbanist group I'm part of.

trinket ✶ @wrennifer.on.bike · 25/09/2026

I just figured out how to use a really cool feature in StreetComplete that'll make it so much easier to tag bike lanes and parking, two things that I'm exceedingly normal about.

Your every-few-days reminder that the NITA board, which Director Alvarez serves on, has the statutory authority to declare any roadway lane a bus lane.

It'd be nice if the ride pause feature was extended from 15 minutes to half an hour or even 45 minutes

At this point, I might be against bike lane construction in Chicago. This city's nonexistent bike lane standards just means that whenever we get a city-wide standard, all of the bad bike lanes we build now will have to be removed.

trinket ✶ @wrennifer.on.bike · 15/09/2026

There is still opportunity here to extract concessions, such as the ability to move spaces by right when constructing a parking protected bike lane, and/or waiving fees associated with street festivals. Alders should be driving a harder bargain on this deal.

I woke up and I'm still mad about this. If anyone else is in a similar fight, Burgener et al., 2026 has shown that bicalutamide is safe at low dosages. No idea if it'll convince the pigheaded HRT dispenser, but it's a start.

Really loving the justification for not prescribing bicalutamide. One (1) guy with prostate cancer dies of liver failure so the best androgen and DHT antagonist is now off limits. Instead we all have to piss ourselves on spiro.

If you're a leftist, you gotta be anti-car. "But I use a car for X" don't care, didn't ask. You gotta be anti-car to the point that you're thinking about how to do X without a car, or at least know how cars caused X to be inaccessible without a car.
