I made two more "new train line" flyover maps here's Ligne C in Toulouse, FR stevevance.github.io/buildthetunn...

When we create more spaces for people and small businesses like Mucho Gusto in Logan Square, we get to collectively experience and celebrate the World Cup together. ¡Viva Mexico!

4. PASS THE BUILD PACKAGE

dang, the CTA owns a small, vacant lot near a Brown Line station that is now worth something like $1.5 million it's too bad the lot is not that deep, zoned to allow about 4 homes, and we don't have single stair that could allow a designer to maximize units and bedrooms

the Chicago Single Stair Design Competition has begun! learn how to join by visiting its new website

3.1 miles of tunnel that better connects four Metra lines to 31,299 households and 102,935 jobs seems like it’d be a pretty productive use of capital investment

build the tunnel

is this the Midnight Sun?

How do I get concreach into Wikipedia?

I did everything this past weekend except marg towers, I’m so disappointed

I was appalled that the lede of this editorial used Riley O'Neill's death to imply that he would be alive if the driver had taken a Waymo, and by extension, we are causing deaths by not allowing them to operate. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/06/28/e...

I haven't had as much as an appreciation for doors until after riding in a Jeep Wrangler without them (like just now)

Since the reconfiguration of these roads, egregiously terrible driving has gone way, way up. Speeding, blown lights, center lane crossings. A driver took out a light pole on Friday feet from here; this is a tragedy and was only a matter of time. abc7chicago.com/post/woman-k...

I’m at the pride parade from the start and I haven’t seen JB or Alexi

We wrote a basic ChiBlockBuilder case study so people can see that the program is working and building more housing.

Happy Sunday, Bike-a-palooza is today! Come on by to Welles Park from 5-8pm for lots of biking fun 🎉

We did a little math to show how much house someone using the city's new HomeGrown downpayment assistance can afford.

Dear someone: parts of your car are missing and they can be collected on S Wells St

This is what getting 1000s of people through two light cycles looks like The only other road mode that can do this would be some variation of BRT

every month most Chicago alderpersons are not aware of or doing anything about Chicago's leadership in housing cost increases

"It is the predictable result of policies and designs that prioritize driver speed and convenience over safety. Most galling of all is that we have the tools to bring traffic violence to near zero. But we lack the will to make the change." – @paparidesabike.bsky.social

My idea for even more tourists and because I think it’s cool: build an island (and Toronto and Chicago can become even moar alike)

Chicago loves to downtown surface parking lotmaxx

Absolutely unnecessary. This is like digging up the street to put the lead pipes back in or something.

Ope I forgot to promote this event on Monday until now A lot of people have been wanting to know how to write ordinances and bills but they also need to know how to ideate, find sponsors, etc. - we’ll talk about all of the steps

Historic preservation is like 2% "this building is an historic treasure with deep architectural and historical significance" and 98% "this building is kinda like the other 2% and I'm a NIMBY so I want it landmarked"

Sure why not But can we also re-legalize some new courtyard buildings?

Messed up that @mayorofchicago.bsky.social friend Pat Dowell is removing protected bike lanes to pander to these types.

He would certainly be remembered for it, even if he would then leave the City Council mired in Council Wars over whether the benefits of undoing the deal should accrue primarily to drivers or non-drivers.

Happy Pride and happy World Cup

Paying a pantload and a half to get the parking meters back under the city's control would be so much better than letting it go to yet another private equity firm, especially given that this time it would be one that also profits off of ICE human trafficking flights.

This building is getting 3 ADUs! Learn more about the project 📍 buff.ly/nwl2XjW

In 2003, as a member of Logan Square Walks, Gin Kilgore, center, helped lobby CDOT to install a direct crosswalk between Lula Cafe and Logan circle. She says the new Logan reconfiguration is awesome, but is asking the City to "Refine the Redesign." chi.streetsblog.org/2026/06/24/l...

oh did Scotland want to score tonight ?

Seen in Lakeview. NIMBYs are mad about a potential zoning change for a 28 unit building located 2 blocks from a CTA train station. Please call Alderman Lawson and tell him to push for even more than 28 units!

Single stair status in Chicago: - the ordinance had a hearing this month - it probably won’t get called for a vote until after municipal elections (we can add it to housing platforms, campaign pledges, endorsements process, etc) - there’s an active design competition, registration opens this week

ride with us in july <3

You: BUILD! THE! The Crowd: TUNNEL!!!!!

here's what the Chicago Fire Department (which includes EMS) got up to in 2025, according to what they reported to the US Fire Administration/NFIRS a lot of service for EMS; not much for building fires

The 32nd Ward needs change. See you at Beermiscuous in 2 weeks.

Who is being served here, Chicago? And what is being protected?

Seriously consider sitting out the Chicago mayoral beyond voting. The Brandon Johnson reputation rehabilitation train has left the station and I’m seeing many of my would-be progressive allies buying in to support a man who tried to hire GardaWorld to build a migrant tent city on toxic grounds.

I took the ALSO e-bike for a spin It was a lot of fun and it has some nice features
