When UofC students try to use the Via service and none are available they are directed to Lyft and given a ride on the university within the zone, so I guess UofC will be paying $1.50 to the city for each of those

every Democrat? Every elected representative who believes in our rights to liberty and life! Only supporters of tyranny and enslaving the American people to our government wouldn’t do the same

And you sound like a domestic terrorist by the government’s definition. that makes me one too, and either one of us could be the next one murdered in cold blood and with impunity by federal agents. bsky.app/profile/robe...
Apparently, if you're one of the roughly 70% of all Americans who are critical of ICE actions, and you manifest your criticism in any way, then you are ripe for an FBI investigation as a domestic terrorist in the view of Kash Patel. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Revealed: FBI opened domestic terrorism investigations into anti-ICE activity across US
Internal report shared with Guardian shows FBI has launched cases in 23 regions, some linked to Trump memo on thwarting ‘terroristic activities’

I’ve said it before but it is possible in 50 minutes with Divvy. Take a University Park-originating ME from 53rd at 4:42, get on a Divvy and make the 15 minute transfer to the highland park bound UPN leaving OTC at 5:10 and you’re at Main St by 5:33 if you’re lucky. I have done it, more or less.

I was irritated when I saw the reduced metra schedules today- but made the round trip between Hyde Park and Leland/Damen in under 3 hours using the UPN. Thought about brown line (Damen stop right there) but it just didn’t work. Also happened upon this awesome sound check while crossing the loop

What could happen is metra and cta could get together and reopen the existing bathroom in the Kensington station that’s been out of service for at least 15 years

It is simply baffling that almost a decade and a half after the introduction of divvy there is still no station here. @davidpowe.bsky.social missed tagging you on my botched first post in this thread.

There are also existing public bike racks literally at the station (under the viaduct, covered form the elements). They are NOT designated edivvy points

Across the street is a block of surface car parking- I estimate for about 250 cars. The lot and street parking are regularly full (not here because of the date and time- but generally it is M-Th)

Kensington is the busiest Metra station on the south side, in the heart of the transit underserved community the $? billion dollar RLE is meant to help. It’s a 10 minute ride to Hyde Park, the most jobs rich area of the south side, and 25 minutes to Millenium Park.

I’d like to further congratulate the Chicagoans who live in the 2x2 4flats on their just squeaking into the city trash collection class. As a 5+ unit building resident, you better believe I resent the fuck out of your $9.50/mo waste hauling fee. Many 6-20 unit buildings pay more than $60/mo/unit!

Which begs the question- is this a 4 flat or two townhomes? How was it originally occupied? I get that it looks like a double two flat but I suspect it may have been just 2 units? And still is?

affordable transit connected bike rentals have most of the benefits of microtransit (on demand, flexible destinations) without the same associated costs. Often the last mile or two is going to be done the other way in a few days, anyway.

NITA's first microtransit solution should be an OV fiets style regional bike share connected to the Metra and Pace networks. Call it iNITAbike. Charge rates of <$10 day for up to 3 days with fees for returning to different location or keeping bike >72 hours. Give discounts to monthly pass holders

I like Crockett but don’t know Texas well enough to have a horse in the race. but I will note that this article relies one other article which cites one anonymous source at the nrsc
