after unimaginable loss looking to help create safe streets
we all know the Avid Cyclist who has lived this long without, we know Concerned Cyclist who doesn’t want to interfere with drivers space

found a new avatar “Concerned Transit rider” who rides CTA says it’s the best in US and we should not expand it so drivers won’t be inconvenienced

was out again working the Clark St Bike Lanes removing ice cover & poking sticks in drains. mother nature did us a solid yesterday & where cars did not use the bike lane the snow melted.

look forward to the PBL curbs to be installed and CDOT to get their BIG & have a real plan for snow removal

finding the man who said “the rich drive” “until blood is spilled at this corner” & “your loss has nothing to do with this” for DD discourse has entered the Archer/Kedzie chat with bangers like “how do you get 6 bags of groceries home” “old & disabled people like busses” “PBLs are bad for safety”

spoke with a business on Grand. doesn’t want PBLs wants parking in front of their place. when i said i hoped the meeting changes your mind, he said it’s a done deal they just want to see if they can change it.

warned him of the genuine nature of the anti Ashland BRT guy.

“i’m a community stakeholder and i didn’t know about this until i drove by”

“i’m tuned into what’s going on but never received a paper notification from the Alder”

i know better than CDOT, community organizers, and empirical evidence from around the world!

sitting on the bus slowed by SOVs as a ambulance came towards us, lights sirens etc

they had to come to a complete stop as cross traffic continued to roll across because they had the light, not on care about the ambulance waiting

do “drivers” online even drive?

is the urban cen*er paying “avid” cyclists? there seems to be an uptick in these “common sense” types of riders posting up hot takes on how great a rider they are and how unfair it is to slow drivers

NB Clark St Bike Lane cleared Wilson to Lawrence, SB too soupy and not sure where the drains are.

business owners, can we please not use the PBLs as a snow catch. both cyclists and customers in cars would appreciate a clear path to travel
December 7, 2025 at 7:24 PM
got a touch more last night, enough that the bike lanes may be difficult to enter due to folks intentionally piling snow up in front of them.

if you see something like that take note or call em out or clear it?

“bikes are kids toys!”

nah, the toys I played with were cars but used my bike as an efficient way to get to friends, school, and around for freedom

now i live in an urban space that my bike is one way i get around

in fact it’s the fastest mode to work with an added bonus of no concern about 🅿️

this Michael Harris fella should spend a day in my life

what a tone deaf profit over people bologna attitude

advocate for bigger loading zones, reduced curb 🅿️ , managed delivery times, alley access NOT to ask for a few more months of penalty free bad 🅿️

i don’t care about his “concerns”
Everyday Chicagoans will have to wait for the right to use their cell phones to provide recorded evidence of bus, bike lane and crosswalk parking violations, thanks to concerns raised Wednesday by business groups.
Business concerns stall plan to let Chicagoans flag crosswalk, bus and bike lane parking scofflaws

after a CTA crime is heralded for happening by the usual suspects as a Chicago sucks inevitably we see an arrest is made

when a human is killed/injured or car/building crashed into by a hit&run driver it’s just another day in Chicago

why are bad drivers protected from prosecution too?

watching a man who fights adamantly against housing, affordable housing, bike, transit, pedestrian infrastructure ask folks on ND to help him find housing for his disabled Vet brother is uncomfortable

my dude your very activism is causing this issue you are asking for help to solve

Schrödingers Bike Lane

it’s either full and dangerous or empty and unnecessary

almost lost a coworker to a hit and run on DLSD last week.

he on motorcycle looking to merge right got clipped by a high speed driver knocking him off bike into a skid

it hit me hard this AM holding my boy thinking about his dad, who is my age

we need to do something about H&R’s and DLSD

the usual suspects bagging in bike lanes not being cleared… do we demand all streets that have not been cleared yet removed?

did we forget where the Clark St bike lane is now was filled by parked cars so there is no reduction in space just bikes back to where they were before?

no fooling, shoveled 5 neighbours walkways to connect the patchwork of shoveled spaces over 2 blocks between home and daycare…

going to push the kid with ease

caveat… i love❤️snow, shoveling, walking around in a heavy snow so I may be a tad different than many

pushing a stroller through the various states of shoveled sidewalk i wonder if @betterstreetschicago.org has hit up corporate partners to press the city

hate the robots but corporate buy-in for bike lanes, plowed sidewalks, &loading zones could be an extra boost
