Not a great look Chicago!
Shifts in MULTIFAMILY RENTS across America's 50 largest metro area housing markets
Wow. According to the @Suntimes Chicago Board of Education President Sean Harden has launched investigations into how information on CPS Superintendent finalists got into the hands of reporter @SSKedreporter and how information on a special public meeting to raise property taxes got into my hands.
The Chicago Board of Education has launched two investigations into how internal information got into the hands of the media. chicago.suntimes.com/education/2026…
'No one should have to die walking or biking for a street to be made safe. And no family should have to relive their loss so others might live. Our administration will act to prevent tragedy, not wait for it.' — @NYCMayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
This is more than a proposed cut, its a shift to use more menu funding too. Look at every participatory budgeting ward - what are people demanding - safer streets inrastructure! When it’s not planned comprehensively we get scattershot improvements near the squeakiest wheels.
After a driver killed Linda Mensch, left, in front of the Garfield Park Conservatory, CDOT installed a raised crosswalk to help prevent future deaths. The City is currently considering cutting Safe Streets funding by 70%. Here what we can do about that. chi.streetsblog.org/2025/12/10/doc…
@JaredSGreenberg @NBATV @NBA is there a Crunchtime schedule for this season somewhere??
Yeesh, what a chart.
Happy 10th birthday, ESSA! 🎉 10 years of declining achievement. The “Christmas miracle” that never came!
Biking from the east around the square to head south on Kedzie? Now requires two traffic light waits. Biking north on Kedzie to head east on Logan? That'll be 4 (!) traffic light crossings/waits... 🤯

Logan Square’s new two-way traffic pattern is live! Here’s how to navigate the updated routes around the Square. ⤵️ #LoganSquare #ChicagoTraffic #TrafficUpdate #ChicagoDrivers
Ah! And the rubber bump to delineate the bike lane here at the intersection! Would be a HUGE and cheap improvement on the roads that currently only have paint. @ChicagoDOT
Some video!!! x.com/streetfilms/st…
Why doesn't CDOT do this? So many good, painted bump outs that could be better (and safer!) with some plants/rocks.
Looks like @NYC_DOT has just added some round, concrete “ring dings” & planters to the new 1/2 dozen blocks of Woodside Avenue in Queens. Looks finished. #Daylighting installed on most blocks. Well…Interesting. @StreetsblogNYC @OpenPlans @TransAlt
@TodoistStatus Getting persistent sync errors from desktop for Mac, and inability to log in to browser based version.
Another record year in motion! Chicagoans have already taken more than 11 million Divvy and Lime rides in 2025, surpassing last year’s total by October 16th.
Airport every 30 minutes (and even slightly faster trains!) would take so many cars off the road.
@Thrivin096 They don't explicitly call it phase one, but here's their "early actions" slide:
Canadians fought for walkable streets. Côte-des-Neiges, Montreal, June 22, 1955: After a driver injured a 7-year-old boy, about 40 women blocked the intersection of Clanranald and Van Horne avenues, demanding safer conditions for walking and letting no motorists through. ...
Any other relevant reportable context? What % is that of those who were driving by these locations? How many were non-repeaters after that first ticket? How do parents who try to cross the street near these cameras feel now that they're active?
One day. One new speed camera. $60,000. Chicago's new speed cams are raking it in, early data shows. They captured $1.7M in three weeks in June, now the most-ticketed month in three years, as aldermen tout their safety impact. With @william2tong: chicagotribune.com/2025/09/07/may…
In the absence of sensible national safety regulations: vehicle height and vehicle weight tax now. More damage to roads, less safe for community as a whole - tax accordingly.
“The rise in high-fronted SUVs poses a clear and growing threat to public safety, especially for children. With no benefit to society, it’s time for lawmakers to act.” Via @carltonreid in @Forbes. Cap SUV/truck hood heights. And ban unsafe designs. forbes.com/sites/carltonr…
Any other relevant reportable context? What % is that of those who were driving by these locations? How many were non-repeaters after that first ticket? How do parents who try to cross the street near these cameras feel now that they're active?
UPDATE: 22 new Chicago speed cameras that went live in June issued 91,000 speeding tickets in their first month of operation. The camera at 3358 S. Ashland generated the most tickets of any city camera. City data shows 186 speed cameras issued more than 240,000 tickets in
This is great! Is 4300 the norm? Anyone have context?
With cooler weather coming soon, trees for upcoming capital projects and arterial streets are being inspected for planting in fall 2025 and spring 2026. This year, CDOT is on pace to plant more than 4,300 new trees along Chicago’s arterial streets, medians, and boulevards. 🌳🍃
Chicago’s Divvy bikeshare shattered records in August: 🥇Highest month in program history: 995K rides 🥇Highest month for e-bikes: 500K+ rides 🥇Highest month for scooters: 200K+ rides The City's efforts to make Divvy more affordable & accessible are paying off!
We're a city designed for people. 🫶
A street can be just asphalt for cars… or a place where neighbors meet, kids play, and small businesses & community thrive. Montreal chose community over traffic on 10 streets and the difference speaks for itself. Streets aren’t just for moving through, they’re for living in.
