@miguelfor28 @streetsblogchi @RideOfSilenceCh @rideillinois @ByronSigcho @AldermanLaSpata @mikekeatinglaw @bkevenides @ChiCritMass @activetrans @bikegridnow @chi_streets @Brandon4Chicago @ChicagoDOT @IDOT_Illinois @SafeStreetsCH @DanielLaSpata @ChicagoDOT and @IDOT_Illinois must take a strong stance agst drivers coming off the intrstates and install speed/ red camera lights - the corridors are already unlivable with the horrendous pollution - pedestrians/cyclists don't need any more physical dangers.

@streetsblogchi @RideOfSilenceCh @rideillinois @ByronSigcho @AldermanLaSpata @mikekeatinglaw @bkevenides @ChiCritMass @activetrans @bikegridnow @chi_streets I'm not implying the driver blew the light. But at the very least the city has signaled to drivers they can drive as recklessly as they like through this block with impunity - and they oblige @Brandon4Chicago @ChicagoDOT @IDOT_Illinois @DanielLaSpata @ByronSigcho

@streetsblogchi @RideOfSilenceCh @rideillinois @ByronSigcho @AldermanLaSpata @mikekeatinglaw @bkevenides @ChiCritMass @activetrans @bikegridnow @chi_streets Heartbreaking. I bike here daily. People blow through the Union/18th street red light regularly. Often one or two seconds after the light has changed. Every day. EVERY LIGHT CYCLE. It's incredibly dangerous and @ChicagoDOT @IDOT_Illinois @Brandon4Chicago SOMEONE needs to act.

@RichardHanania That's a lot of jargon for "we are out of touch with people's needs and fears."
Obviously, there is no deep state or rampant migrant crime - but maybe general political dysfunction is priming the endemic suspicion, distrust, or apathy.
Maybe liberals ought to pick up on this.

@robkhenderson Please stop.

@rachdele Good lord I needed to hear this

[Jordan Kemp @_jordantk]

I think he’s ready to rock and roll

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

Best in the nation? I think @TheWienerCircle would like a word.

And let’s be honest, they went easy on you.

@laurafursich @IAS_LiU @IC2S2 How do you say Norrköping?

[Jordan Kemp @_jordantk]

@allweeksend @streetsblogchi For real. I don’t trust these as a cyclist and just bike partially in the car lane .

[Jordan Kemp @_jordantk]

@ScooterJ773 @streetsblogchi @ChicagoDOT Do you need big rigs to deliver bikes (or really anything), or would a few smaller box trucks suffice? We've been tricked into belief that maximally efficient (by volume) shipping is the only effective way. Go to any modern city elsewhere and you'll find lower impact vehicles.

[Jordan Kemp @_jordantk]

@greenfieldjohn @streetsblogchi @ChicagoDOT @AldReilly @AldermanHopkins Absolutely, but there are pretty critical bike corridors too narrow to add protection, and too crucial to make one way making room for protection. Kinzie in River North is a great example.

[Jordan Kemp @_jordantk]

@DavidZipper I’ve been dreaming of a similar program for Chicago. We’re too flat and too gridded to not subsidize cycling! Happy MN is a neighbor and peer state that can continue to peer pressure us into the right policy decisions!

[Jordan Kemp @_jordantk]

@ScooterJ773 @streetsblogchi @ChicagoDOT So we should continue to sever blocks and neighborhoods so suburbanites can emit microplastics and toxic emissions on their way to work, rather than invest in viable transportation alternatives?

[Jordan Kemp @_jordantk]

@yfreemark @urbaninstitute What about changes to household sizes? I would imagine smaller households have less of a use for cars.

[Jordan Kemp @_jordantk]

@DynamicsSIAM Could you imagine if, say, AI or tech innovators exercised the same kind of caution? *sigh*

[Jordan Kemp @_jordantk]

@ThosVarley Sort of, but “capitalism” isn’t exactly a catch-all mythical boogeyman like the Devil. It’s a very tangible system to which many modern challenges can be empirically traced.

@ehrgeiz91 @CrainsChicago Tangentially, crossing Ontario and Ohio as a pedestrian or cyclist is frustrating to say the least.
