Thinking of X as the comments section on Elon Musk's personal blog is a reasonably accurate model.

our streets should be safe for ages 5 to 95. a split second mistake should not mean your death

The Cook County Medical Examiner ruled Riley O’Neil’s death an “accident” but in every way it was the result of specific policy and infrastructure choices made by the city. Besides being an indispensable colleague that’s what makes me so endlessly angry.

It is hard to overstate the lack of seriousness with which we treat the ability to own and operate machines with the ability to kill and maim

CDOT Commissioner Cheaks should announce on Monday morning that the city will be phasing out "door zone" bike lanes starting immediately, as they are inherently deadly.

Losing someone who genuinely cared about making things better for everyone to the greatest risk they were trying to mitigate is so, so. I'm failing at words. It just makes me so upset.

Every day we have to listen to and then give consideration to drivers who are so concerned about parking. Here we are with another cyclist being killed because the best this city can do is put paint down which does nothing. The Halsted Ave bike lanes are a complete joke. Bike safety is a joke here.

Dooring is deadly and installing door zone bike lanes should get the city sued to oblivion.

the people love a plaza

This is why every bike lane that runs next to a line of car parking is inherently unsafe, and shouldn't be acceptable at this point.

We can't rely on people who will make mistakes that could get someone killed. Ald. Lee has repeatedly told our safe streets group that there is no room for a protected bike lane (because parking would have to be eliminated.) Fuck that.

in the middle of my work meeting

they said it couldn’t be done. chairs! chairs in a plaza!

my favorite part of this meeting was @aldconway.bsky.social asking the reasonable question (paraphrasing): “Maybe single stair to 6 stories is too dangerous. But what about 3 or 4 stories? Or 2? Should we be outlawing all 2 story homes with a single stair case?” to no response from CFD

great paragraph from a great article on single stair

A rat wall in the 48th ward

i knew Big Wood was behind single stair

If you like these mixed use buildings, congratulations, you're a commie now

Ride with Pride.

600 more homes (including 120 designated affordable) are proposed in four buildings at Sheridan & Thorndale, nestled amongst much taller buildings. Support the project by telling @the48thward.bsky.social why it’s needed 📋 the48thward.org/zoning-feedb...

this also strikes me as the best way to get people out of NIMBY groups: literally just give them any other hobby.

Tomorrow, Ald. Lee is having a town hall which will discuss allowing ADUs. This is a great opportunity for 11th Ward residents to support more homes! 🏘️ Ramova Theatre Wednesday, June 3 6-8 pm

Chicago

I saw this great horned owl in Chicago this morning.

Pretty apt that RTA is starting to transition into NITA during Pride month 🏳️‍⚧️ 🚊

… and remember to let your operator know that you’ll be removing your bike when you exit the bus 😉

eliminating parking requirements can increase housing built by 40 to 70% yall!!

It’s so fucking sickening what sport team owners put local and state governments through to finance new stadiums. We have lost so much political bandwidth over this nonsense in Chicago. Football doesnt matter in the scheme of things. All of this for *9* games per year!

45% of microplastics polluting waterways comes from tire wear. Photo totally unrelated

what i get from this is trains good

a proper veterinary practice has 2 doctors who are 85 and 29, one kinda goth lady, the gently autistic guy with unusual pets, horse girl with a 150lb Rottweiler, the front desk lady is Dana from The Pitt, no one know what Ryan does

And there you have it. Democrats are raiding transit funding to pay for other stuff www.ilga.gov/documents/le...
