I appreciate a news source that still prints corrections. Extremely disappointing info that constituents need to remember

URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Mayor Johnson's 2026 bond proposal defunds safe streets infrastructure by a whopping 70% – putting our communities in jeopardy by threatening the progress we've made in preventative infrastructure. Email him and your alderperson today and tell them to reverse course!

Please email your alderman below to save Chicago's safe streets infrastructure funding. The cuts would be apocalyptic at 70% gone!

SROs are a valid form of housing and necessary for cities to prevent homelessness. Inventory continuing to decline is bad, even when closures like this are needed

It is an amazing day!!

Environmental policy at work

Oh, and land value tax would fix this

Thinking of the intersections to this story. The woman killed was knocking on the bus trying to get on & slipped. We’ve all seen people run after a bus, knocking on its windows or door, knowing if you miss one you may wait a while. Sidewalks full of snow & slow infrequent buses. All connected.

Hell yeah, i wonder about the geography nuances here. Still thinking about that one NYC paper that only had housing get cheaper within a few blocks

Goose City

Let this radicalize you

The annual property tax bill on this parking garage went down $8,000 Wrong direction

4 out of 5 of my CTA trains today had active smokers. This sucks

Should've been doing homework but built snowman instead ☃️

PUBLIC MEETING ALERT: Illinois is updating its Statewide Transit Plan, setting a long term vision for how we fund, expand & improve public transportation across the state. Virtual meeting info: Nov 15 at 10am Nov 18 at 12pm Nov 18 at 7pm Register & PLEASE SHARE: idot.illinois.gov/transportati...

Thanks to the NITA Act, and a city ordinance from @aldermanlaspata.bsky.social, Chicago has the highest population of any city in America that live on property that does not require vehicle parking

🚊🎉 We did it. We not only saved transit – we secured transformative reforms and funding to grow! This is the kind of impactful advocacy we need more than ever. Get your tickets and celebrate with us to power our work for another year! ⏰ Nov 5th @ 7pm 📍 Mrs Murphys (3905 N Lincoln Ave)

We saved transit.

These transit champions deserve a monument!! Heroes!! 4:30AM is insane!!!

Almost everything I was referencing here passed last night! Tired, excited, disappointed with how and when, but happy! What great wins!

SB2111 in Illinois also: —Eliminates all parking requirements in areas within 1/2 mi of transit stations or 1/8 mi of frequent bus routes. —Gives transit agencies the ability to undertake transit-supportive development, including through purchasing new land and developing joint development projects.

I am going to sleep with hope in my heart

Finally went to the DMV to replace my Texas license with an Illinois one. No appointment, took 20 minutes! It is hard to state how much I dreaded this due to the worst experiences in Texas, but instead it's a reminder of how great a decision moving to Chicago is

Good morning! Im headed towards the last Saturday class of my part time masters program for public policy. Lexi and I shared our favorite spots with friends in town last night. Finding community and working to make it better is the secret to happiness I think

The Sun-Times is reporting Border Patrol took at least two teenage boys today when they hit Little Village, again. One is said to be a 16-year old student, U.S. citizen, and student at Benito Juarez Community Academy.

I recently googled "ILCS [crime] statute of limitations" and the AI result topline said 7 years. Fortunately, I 1) was seeking a backdoor to the actual statute and 2) knew that didn't seem right. Scrolled down to the actual search results, clicked: 3 years. Hit "back" to see where 7 was pulled...

Loving this city takes a bit of forgiveness sometimes and that's okay

How do they always schedule Grant Park meetings when I'm busy?? Please go to this and fight for all the good urbanist things Grant Park desperately needs

Did my Red Line just wait a whole minute for transfers from the incoming Brown Line?? I'm in love

Seems bad

"About 20 officers marched toward the protesters, a cloud of smoke obscuring them. They threw a flash bang grenade at the crowd while agents on the roof fired pepper balls". All this to terrorize Chicagoans.

I love my CCAT!! Absolutely cannot wait for La Spata's next Meet Me on Milwaukee!!

I love my CCAT 💚 New housing in Chicago is climate action!

I walk through Roosevelt/State every week and it sucks. That path on the SW corner is a joke. The developers must improve the transit/pedestrian/bike access like they said they would in the 2019 TIF

I'm inspired everyday by the extreme overlaps of environmentalism, abundant housing, and active transportation. We're all making life so much better together 💚❤️

Welcome to the team, @abundanthousingil.bsky.social! 🤝

Our Inspiring Connections Outdoors team partners with RefugeeOne to help new Chicagoans explore the city. Thanks @urbanrivers.bsky.com for having us at the Wild Mile this summer!

Tabling Bike the Drive with my home activist group!! So glad to have volunteered with these friends for years already 💚💚

SAVE THE DATE for our Montrose Beach cleanup on Saturday, Sept. 20! Sign up here:

Look at this terrible picture of our beautiful skyline from North Ave beach on this beautiful day, i love it

The next post you'll see about the City Council Action Team from me will be all the pictures we get with our alders! If you're interested, sign up below, it's your last chance!

One of my favorite events is in town this week!

The highest turnout yet and a great picture! If you couldn't make the onboarding but still want to lobby your alder on the Cumulative Impact Ordinance, Accessory Dwelling Units, or the Department of Environment, sign up below!

Can't wait for another round of lobbying with Sierra Club Chicago! RSVP below for tomorrow's virtual meeting to review our last cycle and what's happening next

I'm thinking about a theory that goes something like "the best community engagement is a booth at a public and family friendly area" but I'd love to hear others thoughts on it

Just dreamt up "rowboat transit" down the Chicago River from Evanston to the Loop. The logistics bothered me so bad it woke me up

So excited it's time for CCAT's next cycle! We met with 13 alders this Spring and we need everyone we can get to help pass CIO, legalize ADUs, and protect the budget of the DoE! See you there!

And that permanent festival ground should be Grant Park! Imagine the bottlenecks if this happened anywhere other than the most walkable and transit accessible part of the city

The neurons are firing!!

Maybe two full-route screenshots means I need to get strava, oops
