Metra I love you but we have got to patch the two random 2 hour gaps in service on the UP-NW line. Missing a 9:35am OB and a 12:35pm OB. This is the crowding on the 1:35pm #629 from OTC. Truly SRO even with the refurb seats where people are more inclined to double up.

This is highly unscientific, but it's fascinating to come across a highway project in the burbs like this with a dollar amount that so closely parallels what Transit is asking for in Chicagoland. $800 million for 300,000 vehicles per day, or $771 million for 1 million NE IL transit riders per day?

housing friends, are there any grants out there to help pay for home foundation repairs? The person is trying to update the home and sell it under market rate to help address the housing affordability crisis. This is in Whiteside County, IL @abundanthousingil.bsky.social

this is hardly the most pressing matter facing Chicago, but it would be so cool if we had a top level domain ".chi" for the city

lifehack: rather than paying the AirTrain fare for JFK you can take the A train to Lefferts Blvd, buy 2 roti for the same price, and then take the Q10 to JFK for free
