Friends remember Dennis for his encyclopediac knowledge of our city's past and its geography, but also his generosity with know-how and transportation-related mementos.

Some of the nine Chicago mayoral candidates have released transportation platforms. But if their platforms were literally CTA station platforms, which ones would they be?

The proposal is nearly a done deal. Building thousands of new homes and offices will exacerbate our city's traffic congestion woes, unless bold action is taken to improve transit access.

The city's project to redesign Milwaukee Avenue from Logan Boulevard to Belmont has primarily focused on the complicated issues that surround the six-way intersection and traffic circle at Milwaukee, Logan, and Kedzie, the namesake of the Logan Square neighborhood. Last night's hearing on the initiative was similarly focused on the juction, as five of the eight design presentation boards and all of the tables set up with plans laid out upon them featured the four new Logan Square layout concepts. That made sense, because anyone that you talked to at the meeting immediately offered up their opinion about the intersection, although people still had some thoughts to share about the rest of Milwaukee.
