Stockton Dr is cleared of all snow and ice right down to the asphalt for cars, but hundreds of daily CTA bus riders at this stop have to navigate icy lumps #PlowTheSidewalks

Time to move bike lane clearance away from CDOT's In-House Construction Team (?) and move it over to Streets & San that has a large pool of drivers and a 24/7 weather action plan.

I took the train this morning. Bike lanes were so bad yesterday that I just didn't want to deal with it again today.

WBEZ just reported that 227 cars were towed overnight for parking in violation of the overnight parking bans.
Now do bus and bike lanes.

People want to walk and bike in the winter. It’s this sort of thing that makes it hard. Imagine trying to push a stroller or using a wheelchair. Yet the road was so clear I saw drivers speeding (feedback boards flashing). Priorities!

We need to start having serious discussions resulting in actionable steps on how we begin to dismantle some of this oversized, unsustainable addiction to highways. We can't afford it, neither in lives lost or revolving costs.

Made a dark meat meatloaf and Kenji Alt-Lopez's turchetta roll with the breast. Both were delicious.

Woke up early, did all my mise en place, and now I'm on break until noonish. Time to get baked for the holiday.

Imagine not stopping every two blocks on every bus
I completed my final count. Out of 10,511 bus stops, I found that 4,360 (41%) of them could be removed to align with national best practices of 1/4 mile spacing. Long-form explainer article and an interactive map are forthcoming. Green dots are removed stops, black are kept stops.

So we're now at teenage girl having a fit because the rest of us are chewing while we eat dinner. Perhaps she wants me to just unhinge my jaw and swallow a burrito whole.

My family is all running a 5k this morning. I'm drinking boozy hot chocolate and waiting to surprise them with donuts after their run.

The nice thing about black nail polish is that you can do some touch ups at the office with a Sharpie.

Somehow, a major street with four lanes of traffic going through the middle is a "shopping center". Let's pedestrianize Michigan Ave and cover it, then maybe it would be worth going to for shopping.
Business rent is way too high on Mag (not Miracle) Mile so companies are just shuffling around. H&M moved two blocks down the road to save cash.
He's blaming "murder and crime" in one of the safest parts of the city because the real problem is "landlords." Almost like that's the whole gambit.
