It feels that winter and snow in Chicago helps widen existing inequities because those without cars are less able to move around safely on transit and on foot. Mobility justice is hampered with the city management and policies around snow clearance.

Bus stops are full of snow. It’s not an exaggeration to say if riding the bus part of your safety calculus rn should consider which bus stops are less obstructed w/ snow & also taking more time to board/disembarking. We are a winter city but the city management of winter leaves much to be desired.

Imagine a 100m race where we’ve given cars an 80m head start after many decades of building almost ONLY for them. If we then set a transportation goal of “balance” between many more choices in getting around, by definition we have to prioritize the new choices for a while, or they’ll never catch up.

They do.
The distinction is they are already the city’s responsibility.
We say #PlowTheSidewalks because we believe the city should take responsibility for the full public right of way, enabling a comprehensive and coordinated snow removal approach for all modes.
