Ja, wäre am sichersten. Von M13 einfach ein paar Straßen nach Osten zur State St gehen, und von dort mit der Red Line nach Chinatown. Falls man dort Zeit hat (und man sich über die Laufroute schleicht) ist zB die kantonesische Bäckerei St Anna sehr empfehlenswert maps.app.goo.gl/joe38xQn92DZ...

(von M19,25 bis M25 geht es sich theoretisch mit der Pink Line + Orange Line aus, aber das würde ich live anhand den Abfahrtszeiten der Hochbahn (auch abrufbar in Google / Apple Maps) einschätzen

Sonst kann ein Taxi/Uber die Laufroute via I-55 / I-94 überspringen)

Kurz gefasst würde ich entweder nach Pilsen (M19,25) oder nach Chinatown (M21,5) gehen um auf Nummer sicher zu gehen (was dann auch 100% mit Öffis machbar wäre), oder mit dem Taxi oder Leihrad zu M17.5 fahren, das würde sich wahrscheinlich (nicht ganz ohne Stress) zusammen mit M21,5 ausgehen

Was eventuell funktionieren würde, wäre mit dem Taxi oder Leihrad von M13 bis ca. M17,5 fahren, und dann weiter mit dem Taxi oder Leihrad bis Chinatown / M21,5. Stimmung kann ich bei 17,5 nicht versprechen, da ist zwar die Uni UIC, aber man ist auch gleich bei neben der Autobahn

Einen 2. Halt dazwischen wird wahrscheinlich knapp. Da wäre zwar Pilsen bei M19,25 (von M13 ab Clinton mit der Pink Line bei 18th St erreichbar) empfehlenswert (ein mexikanisch geprägtes Viertel, sehr gute Stimmung), aber von dort bis M21,5 würde die Läuferin wahrscheinlich sogar ein Taxi schlagen.

Also von M21-22 bis M25 geht sehr leicht mit der Red Line ab Cermak-Chinatown (direkt neben M21,5). Einfach bei Roosevelt, eine Haltestelle weiter nördlich, wieder aussteigen, dann ist man gleich bei M25. Chinatown ist generell zu empfehlen, da gibt es auch während des Marathons eine gute Stimmung.

Viel Spaß in Chicago, der wahrscheinlich besten Stadt Amerikas :)

Für Tipps zu guten Marathonverfolgungslocations mit guten Einkehrmöglichkeiten gerne melden… als ich noch dort wohnte haben wir oft Freunde und Verwandte im Rennen mit der U-Bahn “verfolgt” und angefeuert

Yeah, agreed - even though even then, I usually show up to the mainline stations in Austria 5-10 minutes before departure ;)

(But yeah, especially if you have many people transferring as well, a waiting area and a cafe are very useful)

It helps that the entire network’s infrastructure and service is geared to facilitate this - the operators aren’t opening different sets of doors at every station, they don’t have to supervise entering / exiting at each door, optional train res. means conductors aren’t directing musical chairs…

Honestly, it’s one of my favorite distinctions between some European (central europe as well) train station design trends and the US, with the former moving towards increasingly frictionless experiences: you walk up to the train and just get on it.

The South Water entrance is truly one of the most liminal spaces in Chicago, just such an incongruous combination of well-lit real place that you only get through from an unmarked, 'underground' back alley

"I'm on the east side of Randolph / Michigan, how do I get to this Metra terminal that the map says is under my feet" - still a PhD-level question for anyone who doesn't regularly use the MED

(not helped by the station having at least 3 different 'official' names)

We 👏🏻 are 👏🏻 the 👏🏻 three 👏🏻 percent

And public restrooms! absolutely crucial given we don’t have a lot of those in most cities…

hope EU member states take this historical opportunity to NOT be weird xenophobic loser-monkeys and instead fast-track citizenship for researchers who relocate (as well as for their families)

⚠️new(-ish) paper in Journal of Climate⚠️ i evaluated CMIP6 models' Pacific decadal SST variability and teleconnections... big takeaway is that models under-simulate temporal PDO/IPO variability on decadal timescales, likely affecting precip trends in the Southwest

All the more reason for a Parigo-style regular feature about MTA news like they have in Paris :p

Didn't realize until now that now the G doesn't have a transfer to Queens locals anymore during the day... Not the highest-ridership connection, I guess, but it's certainly > 0

(though I guess in return Roosevelt Island / Queensbridge now do have one?)

Man what a mess the Queens spaghetti is

my takeaway from climate week nyc is that "climate storytelling" is a little too much "we must reimagine our deepest souls in relationship to mother nature and the moral abyss of the polycrisis into which we must now stare" and not enough "ok but get a heat pump"

Applying the ACE2 Emulator to SST Green's Functions for the E3SMv3 Global Atmosphere Model The Ai2 Climate Emulator broadly captures the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiative response to local sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies ACE and EAMv3's global TOA radiation sensitivity to all S...

New paper out. In which we helped the folks at the Allen Institute for AI (AI2) show that their climate emulator does a good (though not perfect) job at reproducing E3SMs' response to different SST boundary conditions.

Basically Athletics were the first imo to make it into the distribution of “decent beer tastes” (and blow past the distribution of bad beer, or most (sweet) NA beer). I drink it when I mainly want something that tastes like a beer

Has anyone written about why in some cities, IR and Metros seem to coordinate, or at least have metro stops at IR stations (e.g., Bengaluru, Hyderabad; in Chennai I guess the MRTS is IR-run) vs. those where the metro seems to purposefully miss transfers (Delhi, Mumbai, etc.)?

New transpo infrastructure in London is presented as “unlocking [XX] housing units”, new neighborhoods in Central Europe are planned around tram, subway, s-Bahn lines. Great piece arguing for a similar approach in NYC.

Vital City | New York City Needs a Two-Track Mind Housing and transit planning go naturally together.

New York City needs more housing, certainly. But where should that housing be located?

In a new article in @vitalcitynyc.bsky.social, I argue that New York City—already the most transit-friendly city in the country—can do an even better job focusing its housing in areas near transit 🚇🏘️

Or making PATH-MTA transfers free ;)

I’d be curious how much you could change that just by including LIRR/MNR stations (I guess mainly the Harlem line and outer queens stations), just since (despite it being a political pie in the sky I guess) making those subway-like would be much cheaper than building new subway lines

I love these!

In Vienna, it's sometimes even a strategy as part of subway construction to make the subway station exit a lot easier to build - just dead-end the side street, use the new spot for a large entrance with an elevator ;)

at some point, the Vermonter was scheduled with avg speeds of 40 mph in Vermont (sure, fine, mountains, whatever), 45 mph in the CT suburbs (… ok but it’s, like, straight), and 45 mph over the NEC (🤬)
