I will really hope things can go as planned this time around and the state and federal government will actually help fund this line. If everything goes right, we can get Amtrak service to Madison and commuter rail service to Kenosha in the 2030s (maybe even Amtrak service to Green Bay).
Wisconsin cities advance MARK passenger rail plan to Chicago
Southeast Wisconsin leaders will hold the first MARK Commission meeting to advance a Milwaukee Racine Kenosha passenger rail link connecting to Chicago.

117,000 people live within half a mile of the E line, opening for service today. It marks the 8th BRT line in the region and the third new BRT line that Metro Transit has opened this year. Transit is getting better every single day in MN.

For the first time, the average new car costs more than $50,000! It's making more and more sense for some families to consider a comparatively cheap (and surprisingly versatile) e-cargo bike, rather than buying a second car!

Worth noting there's probably not more than a couple legitimate bike parking spots within a "block" here, at the front (snow likely eliminated most of them). It's ok, 28 people can park their cars at the door, closer than the next closest bus stops.
The Argo is nice, kind of fancy. It'll be interesting to see how it eventually fits into the MKE-area live music scene.

Moments apart: parent biking a kid home in a trailer in traffic where there's no bike facility, person walking in the street where there's icy sidewalks, person getting off a at a poorly plowed bus stop – 19°F. People absolutely need alternatives to driving and we're making it as hard as possible.

The Everett Street Depot (1886-1965) in the background stood on 4th & Clybourn where the We Energies building is now. Designed by Townsend Mix, it had the largest clocktower in the US when it was built. The train track is now the 794 highway spur.

This podcast does a great job explaining why wagons disappeared and SUVs took over: the auto industry lobbied for a loophole that exempted trucks, SUVs and Jeeps from fuel efficiency standards. Then they went all in on them and stopped making cars that had to abide by the standards.

this is every small municipal Facebook group and your most local reps possibly think it’s a representative sample and they’re listening to these maniacs as if they make good points

Ford was an anti-semite who actually published books maligning Jews! They built trucks for Hitler- as did VW.
The US auto industry ensured there was a fuel efficiency loophole for SUVs and trucks and then eliminated sedans. They fight every safety reg tooth and nail.

It's the 20s and the head of Ford is promoting hateful false rhetoric aimed at expelling and killing a minority group.
OK I’ve put together the list. Shame on all of them:

Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa
General Motors plant manager John Urbanic
National Auto Dealers Association Chairman Tom Castriota
Transportation Sec Sean Duffy
Deputy transportation Sec Steven Bradbury

A sidewalk most people in the area would likely assume is rarely used (it's a truly hostile location with not a huge amount of obvious destinations). Footprints probably generated in the preceding hour or so from this photo, because of how the snow fell that night.

After falling multiple times this week, yeah, agree. No way we’re going to get regular folks who store the bike away for winter to bike if we treat them with such disdain.

Taking the car to go get groceries today simply because I know there will be multiple instances where bike infrastructure is not clear of mounded snow where it meets the clean and clear streets for cars. A city gets the traffic they design and maintain for.

WFB did this when the sinkhole threatened to swallow parts of the town. Spent millions with no public comment, or typical bid process. Couple kids a year hit by drivers? “We’ll apply for some grants that are three years out.. next year.. if we have money left in the budget.. for some plastic posts”
City: We unanimously declare a climate emergency! We must make change no matter what the cost, humanity's survival depends on it!
Community: Can we put in a protected bike lane to get more people cycling.
City: No, we'll lose parking spots.
