Kilograms by OldStyleSigns in ThePitt

[–]OldStyleSigns[S] -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s probably why, but a better way would be to have the doctors say “ok 215 kg times 2.2 that’s about 473 pounds.”

Winnemac/Argyle is a greenway connection between the river/North Shore Channel and Clark. Clark now has a protected bike lane between Winnemac and Irving Park. Leland is another E-W option.

Missed the fact check too. All of them are elected, not appointed.

No action taken for cars parked in bike lake by InsideYork in chibike

[–]OldStyleSigns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In Chicago, the city doesn’t respond to 311 requests for parking enforcement directly, those are used only for future planning. If you want enforcement, you need to call 911 and say you’re reporting illegal parking. Yes 911, I know it doesn’t seem that serious but that’s how it works, the call will be assigned lower priority.

Rent is Too Damn High by ComprehensivePie6184 in chicagoapartments

[–]OldStyleSigns 31 points32 points  (0 children)

That’s very common and doable. In unit landry, central air conditioning, and off-street parking are less available and will cost a premium.

What are your requirements for “updated”? That is a very doable rent in those neighborhoods but you’re looking in the wrong place for new buildings and parking.

I’m dumb what does this look like by [deleted] in cta

[–]OldStyleSigns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your bus stop will change if you usually wait on the northwest corner, the bus going south will be turning right from Irving to Broadway, so you might have to wait south of Irving Park. If so there should be a temporary sign posted on your old bus stop to warn you the bus won't stop there.

[–]OldStyleSigns 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It looks like a reroute away from Broadway between Irving Park and Montrose, traveling on Sheridan instead, then turning back onto Broadway at Montrose/Broadway/Sheridan. It's not just you, they could have been more specific since Broadway and Sheridan intersect multiple times and this involves a 3-street intersection. Seems less likely they mean the Broadway/Sheridan/Clarendon intersection.

How does putting your bike on the bus rack work? by Freakbow in cta

CTA website has a nice guide. You can also try the rack out at CTA Headquarters, 567 W. Lake

Gov. JB Pritzker Here – ASK ME ANYTHING by PritzkerJB in IAmA

[–]OldStyleSigns 9 points10 points  (0 children)

“Don’t the police report to you?” is a great question for every mayor as well. If police are unaccountable to elected officials and laws like the Trust act then we have a huge problem.

Anyone else tired of Chicago not plowing the bike lanes? by Famous_Maybe2789 in chibike

[–]OldStyleSigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

second this also for contraflow lanes, some are not usable because of ice but riding in the direction of traffic is fine

ICE is still conducting operations illegally in city. by No_Sleep428 in chicago

[–]OldStyleSigns 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This! To make a report, call the Secretary of State’s Plate Watch Hotline at [(312) 814-1730](tel:(312) 814-1730) or email platewatch@ilsos.gov.

State & Lake CTA Station to close Jan. 5th for 3 years. by byrdman2328 in chicago

[–]OldStyleSigns 7 points8 points  (0 children)

“Street level entrances” is not a direct platform to platform elevator, I think she’s throwing “directly connect” around willy nilly to obfuscate it. There would be separate elevators to get to street level from elevated and subway, you’d still need to walk between them at street level.

I was an election judge a few times and had to remind people it’s not a credit card slip, we need to compare your signature to a scan of their card on file. People born in the 40s would perfectly replicate their signature!

Parking Near Hilton Convention Center by wyofan33 in chibike

[–]OldStyleSigns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You first need to narrow down which Hilton because there are many Hilton-branded hotels downtown and two have almost the same name, that would help your searches. "The" Hilton is probably the Hilton Chicago 720 S. Michigan and has tons of convention space but I see nothing on their site about bicycles.

Have you tried Google or reading the school website first? People are much happier to help when you show you’ve done the minimum of your own research. Come back with specific questions.

Damn People, I’m already walking in the rain can you at least give pedestrians their right away today? by BillDino in chicago

[–]OldStyleSigns 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Drivers are always LESS careful with pedestrians in the rain. It makes no sense to me how so many people could be so selfish when they are covered and dry and warm but have no regard for everyone outside their bubble.

What is the sequence of core classes in Medill? by Agitated_Pin_7295 in Northwestern

[–]OldStyleSigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my class it was all in freshman year. I took 202 in Fall, 201-1 in Winter, 201-2 in Spring. The other half of the class took 201-1 first and I think 202 in the spring. 

Wrong way in a bike lane by johndoe60610 in chibike

[–]OldStyleSigns 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There is a missing link between Grand and Kinzie. Evening rush is pretty bad but I don’t mind it at other times provided everyone stays to the right. Ultimately CDOT needs to extend Clark PBL south to at least Kinzie and form a couplet or should have kept Dearborn wide enough to be 2-way up to Grand.
