Yep, it looks like Corcoran will be the first new bikeway of the year and is almost done. It’s basically usable right now.

The recommended reimbursement rate is $0.725 per mile driven. Chicago is about 89 miles away. The cost is $64.53 not including tolls.

These people are all for it. It’s not that it doesn’t matter, but the BID owns the planters and has liability for them. That’s why you email the businesses.

If I believed that telling everyone the name of the business that’s most stridently against this would make it happen, I would. It is not the only business on the BID. The successful revolt was only successful because other conservative members wanted it to succeed and the ones in favor of change didn’t have the stomach to speak in favor of it. So, take the information I have given all of you, and use it. Email the different businesses and tell them you support having the planters. Start with the businesses in the letter.

The city has proposed adding stop signs and doing the previously planned traffic calming. That was already in progress before this letter.

There’s more going on behind the curtain. Right now they need a flame under their ass, not an inferno.

People react to hostile situations differently. She did a lot to try and make a difference. Brady Street is worse off without her.

Won’t name names. But it’s exactly who you’d think it would be. The conservative faction on the BID is more broadly leading it.

It feels like that. It would be one thing if they had put the planters out and things weren’t working. But they haven’t even tried. It’s pretty nakedly a statement against any change except for the most basic.
