@JHudsontraffic Lazy and lack of respect. Also, a learned behavior.

@ajlatrace Wow - what a hot mess! Look at all those roof lines.

We're transforming a classic Chicago 2-flat to create a rear modern addition while preserving the traditional vernacular. The addition increases living space & connects to the backyard. We're also installing a shiny new interior elevator. https://t.co/NFYGYhgU5Y

@ChicagoParks not sure if anyone is aware of this water eruption behind the stand up paddle rental building.

[mossdesign @mossdesign]

@ChicagoParks there’s some geyser action happening at Montrose beach.

@FunktionFails @greenfieldjohn @bikelaneuprise Car wash! This happens all the time at this location and the car wash 3068 N Elston. Apparently, if your car is a bit dusty, it's okay to inconvenience everyone else, especially cyclists.

We transformed a vanilla concrete box into a tranquil contemporary café in the South Loop. The project includes a coffee bar, lounge nook, & an open café dining room. #hospitalitydesign https://t.co/QBByZgAbSD

Hey @pepsi and @USDOT should this person be allowed to hold a commercial driver’s license when they are willfully putting the bike community in danger like this?

Thanks @architectmag for including our TOD adaptive reuse project, Margie’s Candies Building, in the recent adaptive reuse article! The iconic building features a reclaimed vintage exterior, 20 modern apartments with a roof deck & retail spaces on the first floor. #adaptivereuse

@MontyPlover There are so many bird-friendly building materials and lighting design strategies that would mitigate bird collisions. Just takes some initiative to step back, assess the environment and incorporate into the design.

Excellent news!!

A note about Monty, the Park District added three acres—3!—to the protected dune area. That is prime lakefront acreage and now it will be there pretty much permanently.

[Bob Dolgan @bobdolgan]

I wanted to share this clip of Monty as a small way of remembering him and how Piping Plovers defend themselves. This is @plovermother talking about how Monty took on 12 Killdeers that had come close to their nest in 2019.

Our latest residential renovation project increases living space with a master suite & family room addition, a new deck, & opens up smaller interior spaces. The expansion opens the house to a usable backyard, bringing the outdoors in. https://t.co/PrYZMRms5S

Some news, "Monty and Rose 2: The World of Monty and Rose" will air on @detroitpublictv and @wttw next month, April 18 in Detroit and April 21 in Chicago, both at 10 p.m. local time. Here's to the dapper pair returning for another nesting season.

@bobdolgan Ooh, a deflector! In need to up my solo stove game with that accessory.

[mossdesign @mossdesign]

@greenfieldjohn @ufollow_me_now5 @chicagobotanic @activetrans @pattywetli Completely agree!
