The only thing more vulnerable than a child while they are being hit by a driver in a three ton metal box, is a driver's ego if anybody questions their automotive rights.

With a state-jurisdiction roadway shut off from cars, we can literally bring in an amusement park (and a house music festival).

Someone tell @thedailynu.bsky.social to stop parroting bad-faith rug dealers. This isn’t an opinion section, you don’t get to let lies go to print.

Is "the big bus stop signs that are made from sheet metal" a technical term?

Build public restrooms.

It’s a neater way to shit on local government.

Not all streets even have sidewalks.

Which is something @aldconway.bsky.social should probably be more concerned about.

Two signs are ~15ft apart. One reads “Detour” with an arrow pointing to the other sign reading “End Detour”.

“It’s just a short detour.”

A close up of the fake staten island.

Also just for @transitdiagrams.bsky.social analysis:

Fake Staten Island got two subway connections, and the Manhattan-bound tunnel does even have an interchange station.

And somehow there is still no subway to the airport…

A fake subway route diagram for “spirit metro” seen at a spirit Halloween store. Clearly modeled off the NYC subway map, but with only five service patterns and no branching.

Spirit Halloween just copied from what Sec. Duffy wrote in his dream journal, I can only assume.

If the restaurant's name doesn't have a number after it, you can't be sure their first attempt was successful. Go to [restaurant name] #3 to be safe.

[T4A] Grants cancelled/at risk of expiration - September 2025

@t4america.bsky.social has a list of the ~$500 million in projects that are under threat if this dirty resolution passes, if you want to look up if your community is one of them — and yes, this includes red districts.

It's pretty crazy to think that conductors used to stand between train cars (in all weather) on the elevated CTA tracks.

Ooooooh let’s have a guess at the address first then.

A person atop a roof takes a picture of a person paint a large mural from a cherrypicker, with the sear tower behind them and in the mural.

Still there x2

@starlinechicago.bsky.social do you know if this was ever a GIS map somewhere? Or did they tack on the NCS to a file from before 2006?

Section of rail/transit map in IDOT's MYP_FY2026-31, including a continuation of Metra's NCS line past Antioch and a termination of Metra's SWS before Manhattan.

So does @illinoisdot.bsky.social think Metra still operates the Soo Line into Wisconsin?

I guess we traded Manhattan SWS for this second interstate service.

Looks pretty good @jessiefuentes.bsky.social !

I can respect farming in theory but why do I have to pretend ethanol input farmers are feeding me

How have you not been there before???

Using IL SOS data and public curb weight data, if Chicago changed its residential permit charge from $25 to a weight-based system, it could bring in an additional $151-167MM/year when

>2500lbs = $25
2.5k-2.99k = $40
3k-3.49k = $62.5
3.5k-3.99k = $75
4k-4.49k = $105
4.5-4.99k = $160
5k+ = $200

If you can block parking spots with random furniture, you can install safe bike lanes and pedestrian crossings instead.

Widen the sidewalks and make them accessible.
