Invest in the WHOLE city, not just parts. Housing, schools and public transportation for all, not transit oriented development for some.

@julsadventures Infrequent service is why people drive or use rideshare when they're in a time crunch!

Chicago's bike-lane enthusiasts — the Bike Mafia — is finally facing some opposition.

Jack Lucey explains how a battle is raging over bike lanes on Archer Avenue in Brighton Park.

@JohnJohnStewart Public transportation suffers because of concrete bike lanes which slow buses. Floating bus stops are ableist!

Sadly, a pedestrian is killed every 74 minutes in traffic crashes. Remember, at some point in the day EVERYONE is a pedestrian:

🚶‍➡️ Follow the rules of the road
🚶‍➡️ Use crosswalks when available
🚶‍➡️ Walk on sidewalks when available

🚘 Look out for pedestrians and minimize blind spots
🚘 Be careful in hard-to-see conditions
🚘 Yield to pedestrians in crosswalks

@streetsblogchi @EllenSteinke @strongtownschi @_atalliance @cmapillinois @ChicagoDOT @IDOT_Illinois @StreetsblogUSA @ChicagoMPO To make Lake Shore Drive safer, enforce the speed limits. When was the last time you saw anyone getting pulled over for speeding on the drive?

@mariagardenia22 @ImpunityCity @enforcelawsNYC @dylanypyen @Shebbie4nyc Sounds like bike lanes in Chicago

[Edgewater D @Phne]

@ptr11236 @NYC_DOT Sounds like CDOT putting bike lanes in Chicago and clogging up streets

Glad people are mentioning business owners and the changes on Granville!

Horrible getting around!

@ChicagoDOT Fixing potholes and ticketing speeders would have been a better use of taxpayer dollars!

Pushback doesn't go away... Ask people in Edgewater about Granville

Chicago bike lane construction sparks pushback, fuels political fights https://t.co/Rdmswdb7Yz

@RebrandDriving I'd rather have a bus lane than a bike lane because you can move into it for emergency vehicles.

Public transportation is the best form of sustainable transportation but it gets little gov support to make it safe and frequent. #Carbustrainwalk

@lacherbauer TOD isn't the flex people think it is. Rail and buses are great, but only if they go where people want to go. How many single family homes with double wide lots could fit along a highway?

@juneconte @CitiBikeNYC Bike Lanes are definitely NOT based on usage, that is obvious. The government is purposely creating traffic in hopes of forcing people out of their cars, this too is obvious and nefarious.

Urban Planning is redlining by another name:
Bikelaning!

@ConroyForIL Investments in public transportation provide more benefits than cycling infrastructure.
