Trying to watch @nwslsoccer.com is always a nightmare. Can't even watch the local game because CBS sports doesn't come with the CBS streaming platform, Paramount+. They just moved all victory games to NWSL+, which is shooting yourself in the foot
Only for people like me is there joy found in submitting a FOIA to a new-to-me agency. Today I finally head a reason to FOIA the fire department
Are the LFT pedestrian underpasses really considered subways?
Needing a favor and then realizing such favor is in Sam Nugent's Ward
This was very popular and all other variants since (Vincennes and Halsted) have not been. I gather the appeal was border to border. What is the interest in doing another border-to-border walk? It would probably be Ashland. I have no desire to do Cicero or Pulaski

Been working on a project to identify small tweaks to improve bike connectivity. I find CDOT's usage of contraflow to be wrong/excessive. Proper use to me is in smaller two-block stretches at a maximum. (Traffic signals are blue dots.)
