Chris and Kevin started Chicago BikePAC so bicycling as transportation – and ensuring kids can bike to school safely – is taken more seriously in local elections. chi.streetsblog.org/2025/08/22/n...

Do we think a referendum will really move the ball here? This corridor is already under the Bus Priority Corridor Study. The time to act was 2 years ago when you and 17 other ald. co-signed a letter asking for this!

Yep! We plan on adding it to the February ballot for 40th ward neighbors to vote in support or opposition to BRT. SOOOOO… who’s down to organize to make sure it’s successful? We can’t take it for granted.

Somebody needs to get petitions up for western BRT and lakeshore bus lanes and then advocates should just start soliciting signatures everytime shit like this happens

Got ghosted by a 49X at rush hour so this 49 is crowded

Street designers should have liability insurance. We make doctors do it

Like, what % of drivers are going to handle this correctly?

Bike the drive @activetransportation.org The one time a year we reimagine the polluting lakefront highway

Could the Bronzeville trail be the next big civic project on the southside? The 1.5 mile route would use an abandoned elevated rail corridor to create a dedicated path, connecting the neighborhood and lakefront

The 35th ward race is really consequential on housing policy, a test of YIMBY vs NIMBY, abundance vs affordability requirements, progressive vs leftist, Which will prevail over Logan Square?

One Region, One Network: The Next Era of Chicago Transit The Northern Illinois Transit Authority is tasked with transforming the rider experience throughout the Chicago region. Read what the transition lead has to say about this important legislation, a 🧵

Sign our letter to the new NITA board, calling for them to deliver on the promise of NITA.

Add your name to our letter to the new NITA Board! - Better Streets Chicago

NITA has started a new era in transit. With it, the opportunity to reimagine and shape our future. "Make no little plans", demand the world-class system our city deserves, follow @chicagogrowthproj.bsky.social and take action towards putting leaders into office that can make this a reality

The People Over Parking Act went into effect on June 1, removing minimum parking requirements within 1/2 mile of rail stations and transit centers and within 1/8 mile of most fixed transit routes. In Chicago, that covers virtually all the areas where people live and do business

Chicago's rapid transit in 2026 -> 2100 NITA begins today, and with it, we should ask what the future of regional connectivity could look like. Some call this a moonshot, but we've been to the moon & can't have extensive transit? Why is transit essential for the future here? 🧵

“NITA is a bold, once-in-a-generation opportunity to build the transit system northern Illinois deserves,” said Amy Rynell, Active Transportation Alliance Executive Director. “By uniting our region’s transit agencies around better service, easier connections and a shared commitment to riders,

A new era for Chicagoland transit. 🚇✨ Beginning today, NITA is officially your regional transit agency, coordinating affordable, reliable, safe transit across the CTA, Metra, and Pace. nita.illinois.gov/about-rta/pr...

Meet me on Milwaukee opens the Wicker Park street to pedestrians the last Sunday afternoon of the month. Where should Chicago try this idea next?

Work has begun on removing slow zones near O'Hare on the Blue Line. It will reduce loop trip times by 4%, saving 5 million rider minutes / year. Thank you NITA for the upgrade

🚨NOT A DRILL🚨 We are thrilled to announce that State @senmikesimmons.bsky.social in partnership with Bike Grid Now, has secured a $300,000 planning grant to design 450 miles of the bike grid in Chicago and on 10% of roads in bordering communities, to be completed by the end of 2028.

Parking minimums near transit? Dead ADUs? Legal 4-flats by right? The next fight Chicago’s zoning code should stop treating ordinary housing like a special exception

Beautiful day for every unemployed person to enjoy the concrete beach

Should O'Hare extend the people mover?

The obsession with a tunnel makes no sense. We have existing infrastructure that can be upgraded to run express. The NCS can run direct from Union to O'Hare in 15 min if we had the will www.chicagotribune.com/2026/08/25/o...

Man this train could pull into / leave the station much quicker if we had platform screen doors, plus it would slightly lighten the misery of being in the center of a gdamn highway

wtf is up with blue line service, so terrible waited 15+ min for one yesterday

Commuters Take Action@ctaction.org · 3w ago

Yesterday, the CTA L lines ran: 102% Purple 101% Pink 94% Yellow 90% Orange 88% Red 87% Green 78% Brown 66% Blue ... of scheduled trains. Since 2020, CTA L Service has been cut by 1%. Riders deserve frequent and reliable transit, with return to at least pre-2020 levels.

Much needed safety improvements are coming soon to Chicago Ave from Ashland to California, where lacking infrastructure contributed to several pedestrian deaths

For anyone who missed the public meeting about Chicago Ave in Ukrainian Village on Monday, here is CDOT's presentation on this project. The project was planned in response to several fatal crashes along the corridor. docs.google.com/presentation...

CTA is expanding its Frequent Bus Network, bringing 10 min or less wait times to the 35, 74, and 85

Every traffic jam, delayed bus, and contested bike lane is friction standing between you and where you need to go. The ideal mobility system would dynamically offer options so that, in any moment, you can always choose the path of least resistance

Share your feedback in the survey about how this area, especially around the station, need pedestrian improvements and more housing!

Improving this number alone should be the number #1 priority of CTA rail capital investment

The i-Pad-ification of everything needs to be stopped
