There will be ANOTHER meeting, same place, 6 p.m. Dec. 17, according to @nwnachicago.org. I can't be there, but we need people there. We kept the car enthusiasts from controlling the room with their nutty car supremacy on Dec. 10.

Meeting on complete streets for Grand Avenue, TONIGHT‼️, Wednesday, Dec. 10, 6 p.m. at Alliance Bakery, 1837 W. Grand Ave.
First reported by @chi.streetsblog.org.
Not sure why there’s a meeting. I thought plans were set at the Smith Park meeting in 2023. Nevertheless, we need people there. 🚲🚲🚲

Apparently people are once again asking who's at fault here. We can improve road safety dramatically by revoking the driver's licence of everyone who thinks it's the cyclist's fault.
