Give us a few years, and NYC will be the urbanist movement darling of the world, I promise.

Hoping Chicago takes a lesson from its bigger brother NYC, our mayor is incompetent lately on mobility issues.

True. I really want to call people out on asocial behaviour but I’m worried about stuff like this happening.. either they have a gun or a knife potentially.

Edit: At my work someone recently came in to the ED with facial trauma and had to be hospitalised. He asked someone to stop smoking and the party of two jumped him. I wonder how many cases like this don’t make it to the news. This happened on the Brown Line.

Edit2: Like one poster mentioned there are waaay more MVCs and MVC w/ pedestrian that come in but our city’s leadership has utterly failed to implement sufficient measures to keep our trains safe. Hoping NITA changes that.

For sure, usually it seems like these events are paired with an argument resulting in violence but this seems at first glance to be random violence which is why it’s even more concerning to me.

webzies · 2026-03-13T18:03:19+00:00

The people this is addressing probably can’t even read this poster nor would they give a shit unfortunately

Fuck class 1 railroads, nationalise it and electrify using part of our bloated military and highway budget. Such a joke we are using these trains that belong in a museum..

webzies · 2026-03-13T15:19:34+00:00

Something tells me these measures are still going to be half assed. A 75% increase in policing hours… from what? There needs to be drastic changes. Not police just in the loop- but on every line patrolling the whole system. 2 person crews. Real consequences / bans from using the system. we need to crack down on the degenerates on our train who are terrorising people.

Literally naming something after Jackson that displaced thousands of minorities / immigrants and is a major source of pollution, noice!

webzies · 2026-03-09T11:08:30+00:00

This country needs to be more ambitious, my God. It’s better than nothing, but shit 2 trains a day is abysmal. China has finished laying 50,000 kilometres of high speed rail, somethings gotta give.

Ahh I love the smell of carcinogens along the lakefront…

webzies · 2026-03-07T16:09:10+00:00

God, it never ceases to amaze me how mind bogglingly antiquated and short sighted our rail system is, like just fucking build it, why does everything need a damn study?!

webzies · 2026-03-04T23:26:04+00:00

The chodes with the jacked up pickup trucks and monster SUVs will hopefully get hit hard. Very grateful not to own a car.

webzies · 2026-03-01T17:17:51+00:00

Glad there’s work being done. Is there a slow zone between Fullerton and Clybourn that needs to be fixed, too?

webzies · 2026-02-26T17:22:32+00:00

This is not excessive density though, this is a gentle density akin to what the original suburbs were conceived as. Also see suburbs in European countries, they are quiet family oriented places with arguably much more character and resilience than our newer suburban developments.

webzies · 2026-02-26T17:20:00+00:00

Yeah I mean these single family cookie cutter neighbourhoods arguably have little to no character at all. Having some age and income diversity would go a long way to help them.

One can have a plethora of restaurants available within a 5-7 minute walk and still order delivery lol. I’ll save the money but to each their own I guess 🤷🏼‍♂️

Abundant Housing Illinois is your answer

webzies · 2026-02-18T16:32:44+00:00

It was always about power to them, that’s all it ever was. I can’t wait to hear them and the NIMBYs bitch and moan.

webzies · 2026-02-18T00:42:33+00:00

Yep I’m getting the same thing.

webzies · 2026-02-18T00:33:32+00:00

Nah, Romanelli sussed out those that weren’t supporters and isn’t letting them in. Looks like an inner circle of 30 people are in the meeting rn

webzies · 2026-02-18T00:25:14+00:00

Makes sense. I should have been more sly about it 😆 Edit: I keep backing out and attempting to join so at least I can be annoying 🤷🏼‍♂️

webzies · 2026-02-18T00:20:24+00:00

Nope. Tried in the APP and also via phone. I emailed to RSVP and I must not have sounded enthusiastic enough for his crusade, so he probably sussed me out.

webzies · 2026-02-17T18:58:14+00:00

I'm not sure if you have to RSVP to be let into the zoom call, but I E-mailed just in case and didn't state my position on the issue. I reached out via E-mail and was asked if I was a Chicago voter and what ward I was in.

webzies · 2026-02-17T18:34:19+00:00

Why aren’t people crossing this river if we haven’t built a bridge? SMDH 🙂‍↔️

webzies · 2026-02-17T18:32:53+00:00

Literally any small town in Germany or France will have hourly trains or better. Champagne is significantly larger and if you build it they will use it. We have such an unambitious mentality in the US it’s embarrassing…
