Beyond Chicagoland

Is it an understandable move, or just absurd NIMBYism?

A new study found that only a fraction requests for Divvy docks are honored, but the city's decision-making process on placing the stations is complex.

The advocacy group plans to reach out to trucking companies to ask them to encourage their drivers to take the test.

The Tribune columnist, who famously wished a New Orleans-style storm would assault Chicago, argued that raising the state gas tax would be unfair to drivers. Here's why she's wrong again.

Chicago Department of Transportation commissioner Rebekah Scheinfeld has overseen the completion of several good projects during her four years on the job, including the Loop Link bus rapid transit corridor, the Bloomingdale Trail, the Chicago Riverwalk, and 100 miles of new and upgraded bike lanes. (However, it’s worth noting all of these initiatives were launched by her higher-profile predecessor, Gabe Klein.)

The study, bankrolled by the scooter company Bird, found the technology would be useful for first- and last-mile trips, especially on the South Side.

After taking a bumpy car ride in a narrow tunnel, Chicago's deputy mayor said he's convinced Musk's O'Hare express proposal would be "a fantastic project" for our city.

The group’s stances against road expansion and for more bike-walk funding may have been a factor.
