Winter really makes it clear just how little our cities care about anyone not traveling in a car. People use bike paths and sidewalks year-round!

Took a walk around my neighborhood this morning around 11:30. Call your alder and tell them to #plowthesidewalks @betterstreetschicago.org

So exciting! Itβd be great if theyβd run some of the late night service as a βbrowngeβ route. They do it during rush hour sometimes.

I think alders think these orgs are much more popular with and influential over neighbors than they actually are.

@blockclubchi.bsky.social about why. I hope this article will cause other neighborhood groups to reflect on whether they're truly serving their communities. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/29/f...
I have these, too! They're great for this time of year, but when it gets closer to freezing, I pair them with earmuffs that go behind the head.

And it's still going to retain half of the parking!
