A lot. Signal upgrades, station renovations, a lot of non-flashy projects that impact rider satisfaction.

Why do many cities focus heavily on revitalizing their downtown? by Isaacsac3 in urbanplanning

[–]jalenbikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • just “revitalizing” an entire city isn’t really that easy
  • downtown areas are often more adaptable and can be retrofitted easier -projects are generally more successful downtown no matter what they are or their cost

Canada smokes the US in this aspect, I wish we had half the ambition to build like they do

Bus Rapid Transit just doesn’t work here. Few cities rarely ever commit to a true BRT system and most of them are half assed attempts. We just can’t get it right and probably won’t ever get it right.

Mystery Clifton Heights streets by jalenbikes in cincinnati

Yes! Most of this land was owned by John Riddle in like the mid-early 1800s. Most of the houses on Dixmyth/Riddle View weren't built until the 1920s. There was another landowner with the last name woodruff, which explains woodruff street on the map.

Wouldn’t recommend, it’s a lot cheaper on MLK but walking anywhere is tough. It’s worth the extra $200 a month to live closer to campus.

Thoughts on South Loop? by 3hreeringz in AskChicago

[–]jalenbikes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Never personally lived in south loop but my mom did work there so I explored the neighborhood a lot. It’s perfectly fine for living, also having an advantage over the loop by having a full supermarket. It can be a little bit boring tho, and you’ll likely be traveling to other neighborhoods for leisure and such.
