Horrible incident. Props to the reporter for her language clearly specifying that a driver ran over the victim (not using passive voice), that the woman walking had the right of way, that it is illegal to drive with snow on the windshield
A driver hit a 67-year old woman as she had the walk sign at Belmont and Pulaski. Her condition is unknown. Hope she survives.

Winter Divvy riders: after the recent snowfall, some older dock types have been tougher to clear, leading to intermittent docking issues. Crews are now focusing on clearing the base of these docks so devices can return normally. Thanks for riding and for sticking with the system in all conditions!

I hate that there’s days when you can’t trust @chicagocta.bsky.social, you can’t trust CDOT to plow the bike lanes, and getting around Chicago without a car is a frustrating mess.

The narrow CTA train platform at State and Lake. This is in the Loop, serving five train lines! It’s downright scary when it’s crowded during peak hours

“The planned station will feature platforms that are twice as wide”
Umm, the platforms are pitifully narrow right now, and twice as wide won’t be much better.
For $444 mil, you can’t slap a few extra pieces of plywood down?

The CTA State/Lake elevated station will close next month for demolition and construction of a new station that could take at least three years to complete.

Drive as if someone will jump out on the street at anytime and then be surprised if that doesn't happen. Not the other way around.

Pedestrian deaths in the US are on the rise. What can be done?
Between 2010 and 2022, they jumped nearly 80 percent.
