    CrossRail Chicago: Making High Speed Rail in America Possible

    I don't quite understand how it works. Union Station will connect to Oglevie? How does that help?

    They're already not very far from one another. If I needed to get to Oglevie from Union station, I can walk on the street... but now there will be a tunnel linking the two? Wouldn't the tunnel be the same distance? Also, how does that get me to St Louis in 2 hours?

    I feel like I'm missing something important.

    Mayor Johnson’s transition report includes strong vision for walking, biking, and transit  - Active Transportation Alliance
    • Developing a citywide network of bus rapid transit and dedicated bus lanes
    • Lowering speed limits to 20 mph on arterial streets and 10 mph on residential streets
    • Restricting right turns on red lights
    • Creating a connected and protected bike network
    • Developing a network of neighborhood slow streets
    • Creating a multi-disciplinary response to support the safety, health, and housing needs of people on transit
    • Working towards a municipal Plow the Sidewalks program
    • Limiting commercial traffic on residential streets
    • Citywide curb management program that addresses needs for deliveries, drop-offs, and accessibility
    • Adding new customer support personnel such as “transit ambassadors” to CTA’s staff
    • Better coordination among transportation agencies at different levels of government

    Would be really great if MBJ lowered the speed limit citywide, eliminated rights on red, and expands alternative modes of transport like BRT and bicycle network

    docs.google.com Redefine the Drive Constituent Survey

    We would like to hear your thoughts and concerns about the IDOT/CDOT project to Redefine the Drive. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) have begun a study to improve North Lake Shore Drive. The study encompasses the area between Gran...

    Redefine the Drive Constituent Survey

    We should not be redefining The Drive, we should be reimagining our lakefront. We can NOT rebuild a highway on our lake, especially not in the face of a global climate crisis and traffic violence epidemic across our nation.​

    At the same time, the Chicago Park District is working on a new plan to revitalize Grant Park, our front yard. We want to make sure that in the 2023 Grant Park Framework Plan measures are taken to calm and limit traffic through the park while increasing pedestrian and cycling infrastructure.

    Our lakefront is one of Chicago's, and our region's, most cherished treasures and assets. We should respect it and respect all Chicagoans by investing in an active transportation corridor that provides safe access to our lake and our city.

    We need new metrics for these projects so we can minimize Vehicle Miles Traveled, minimize vehicle emissions, and maximize accessibility and green space. We can do this by improving cyclist and pedestrian safety with raised bike paths and raised crosswalks, and increase access to the lakefront and parks. Maximizing access to the lakefront will require infrastructure, facilities, and programming that integrate Universal Design principles.

    Adding more lanes to this highway or any highway won't fix congestion, it hasn't worked for decades. We need active transportation options like protected BRT or light rail which can move more people than any highway ever could.

    Call on Rep. Ann Williams to:

    • Restart this flawed decade-long process

    • Eliminate the false sense of need for a highway on our lakefront.

    • Consider our climate, people, and environment when thinking about what our lakefront should look like. The current process does none of those things in a meaningful way.​

    • Continue re-imagining by bringing more green spaces and better transit to the entire lakefront, for ALL Chicagoans.

    Hope they reduce the speed limit in the city to 25 and use the revenue to support the CTA, bicycle stuff, and better pedestrian crossings.

    My backup channel on Odysee https://odysee.com/@PhuongDPRKDaily:e Ku-Hyun Park is an activist of https://nodutdol.org

    I have to say, it's a compelling take.

    Didn't realize this was the first time the US went to war without congressional approval. It's kind of poetic how the US was "fighting for democracy," and also devaluing its own without by acting unilaterally.

    >Being struck by a vehicle that is 1,000 pounds heavier than the one you’re riding in increases the chance of death by 47%, according to a study by the National Bureau of Economic Research.

    I feel like this will be taken to mean "I need an even heavier car to be safe"
