There was a duffle bag stuffed in a cross walk signal. They pulled it out and it had a pair of shoes and a blanket in it.

Do we still need authorization from congress to start the war on cars? #waroncars @thewaroncars.bsky.social
If you're sleeping, I just want you to know when you wake up that Donald Trump just illegally brought us to war with Iran.
On behalf of fucking Israel.
MAGA, you know you didn't "vote for this"
He's gotta go.
The future is now: "our elected officials must stand with working people and prioritize real constituents,not robots and corporate profits"
Waymo will start testing self-driving cars in Chicago — but with drivers, for now. blockclubchi.co/4aB5ImD
Hot take: my cta station dies not need 3 people on staff. They are all so bored. I could see a world with zero or their job significantly redefined. Maybe they also shovel snow, clean, and take out trash.
Only way to respond to this is to ask for more! Anything else will result in a watered down version.
This wasn't the best or even good version imo. All it was doing was diverting 911 calls to 311. In both versions, you, the reporter had to hope someone would come and issue a ticket. With the experience being CPD not showing up for sometimes hours, I expected low usage. But if this can't pass...
REJECTED: A measure to let Chicagoans snap a photo to provide the city with recorded evidence of bus, bicycle lanes and crosswalk violations FAILS, on a vote of 16-31.
NITA legislation cracked the window for more land use to be set at the state level. More of this please. capitolnewsillinois.com/news/pritzke...
Lets hope corn never becomes flamable.

Silverio Villegas González with 2 sons. Caption reads: Silverio Villegas González, a father of two, was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Franklin Park on September 12, 2025.
It's really distressing the extent to which in all of this Silverio Villegas González, the first man to be murdered by ICE in the streets, has been almost completely forgotten
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
We still don't know the names of the ICE agents who killed Gonzàlez behind the wheel of his car outside Chicago in September.
They were unmasked in this BWC footage from Franklin Park police.
If you have any information at all about these men—please text us on Signal at unraveled.66
CMAP did not write this plan. The City did.

There's so much eye-opening stuff in the 300MB UP-NS STB filing, but a big one are the two railroads' 2024 traffic density maps, which really show how much more concentrated NS' network is as legacy PRR from Chicago. Almost every new intermodal service will bypass Chicago for southern lanes

Why dont we have ticket cameras at railroad crossing gates? Who would need to pass a law to make it happen?

“Environmental review is not planning” is one of those statements that is so obviously true but nearly every thing about transportation institutions and environmental review in California/US pushes against it.
2/3rds of the CTA’s expressway-median stations are on the Blue Line, which would benefit from PSDs for noise/passenger comfort alone. Combined with a totally isolated operating environment and the need to rebuild the entire Forest Park Branch anyway, full automation needs to be considered.
Today, Madison, WI has no passenger rail. Here's the service it had circa 1950, near the peak of the US passenger rail network. A few notable takeaways:
Debating if worth going. What is status?
Transit reform/funding bill approved in the Senate. This is final passage
I understand the politics of offsetting road revenues being redirected towards transit with a toll increase on the IL Tollway, but...
The Tollway is a separate authority that receives no general funds.
So the Tollway, which is already flush with revenues, gets an extra $1B?
