America’s Best Train Stations | High Speed Rail Alliance America is defined by its regions. From the mountains and lush forests of Cascadia, to the plains and Great Lakes of the Midwest, to the bluegrass and sweet wetlands of the Southeast—every region is…

We’d like to identify America’s prototypical train stations, in terms of how the stations promote economic development in the area surrounding the station.

Once we’ve determined the top stations, we’ll use them as examples to show mayors around the country.

#HB2454 would make cyclists intended users of roadways. Instead of just permitted. This would hold cities accountable for hazardous conditions that kill an injure cyclists.

I noticed it yesterday at Graville & Broadway's, and now every one I've looked at downtown today

Close up photograph of a USPS drop box, a slot has been bolted onto the drop so only letters can be mailed

Wait when did USPS enshittify the drop boxes so you can't drop small packages off anymore??

Doesn't he have appointments to fill? 😒

Every car wash is blocking bike lanes today.

I passed by 3 this morning and every single one had a line a block long completely blocking the bike lanes 🤬

This wouldn't have been that big of a deal but after you cross Western there are a far fewer stations and I ended up 3 blocks away in multiple directions because it led me astray

New @divvybikes.bsky.social app problem found: It no longer hides eParking Only stations when riding a Classic Bike. Before the update it would only show stations you could dock at. So unhelpful!

Good

CDOT is proposing a new network of bikeways in the Portage Park neighborhood. Watch the video, take a short survey, and RSVP for the March 5th community meeting at chicago.gov/portagepark.

Such a glaring empty half of the map!

Neighbors Raise Parking, Density Concerns About Proposed Clybourn Apartment Project Residents say limited parking and added density could strain nearby residential streets.

"Residents say limited parking and added density could strain nearby residential streets."

This Chicago resident says: "Scaling back development like this will cause Illinois to lose seats in Congress and electoral college, enabling the rise of fascism"

This 384-metre route runs under the Montpelliers iconic square and is only for bikes. With this solution, cyclists can cross the center without conflicts or interaction with traffic. This increases safety and efficiency for cycle traffic.

What's the worst that could happen if I withhold my last rent payment before moving out? Chicago needs to get better renter protections.

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.

Color photograph of a sign indicating a bike path. The ground in that direction is covered in snow, and only a few hints of concrete peak through.

At least I can agree with the "Archer Guardians" that Chicago sucks at snow removal! (Seriously half of them brought this up)

Little man talks a lot of shit but won't stick around for anyone to refute his bullshit

Raymond Lopez is a weasel

This is what we’re doing to people. We are the bad guys.

9-year-old Maria Antonia Guerra from Colombia was detained on her way to Disney World. She told me when I met her that what was supposed to be a 10-day dream vacation to the park’s Halloween celebration turned into a 100+ day nightmare at Dilley. 6/

"There have been no details released about ComEd’s plan for 900 Clinton and its neighboring lot along Taylor once demolition is complete. It could be a case of wanting the land vacant for future development."

Why do we grant demolitions without any plans after I just dont get it

Look, all I'm saying is that if you just spent the last six years being frustrated with Durbin and you think there's a chance he's about to be replaced with a guy who thanks ICE for their service and takes AIPAC and crypto money, you should treat it like a very serious emergency

The end of DOE’s grid work in Puerto Rico The Trump administration has canceled all eight of the remaining awards devoted to distributed energy on the island.

Just a few weeks ago, the administration cancelled all remaining department of energy grid resilience projects in Puerto Rico. All of them. www.latitudemedia.com/news/the-end...

Gotta get a walkin brick because I almost threw my phone at a driver running a stop sign to turn left as I crossing 🤬

Fuck I wish Chicago's car scene would be hidden 😒
