Eyes on the Street

What you're seeing isn't a typical "Eyes on the Street" because we got our "eyes" up in the air with the new Streetsblog Chicago Traffic Chopper (actually a drone camera) to check in on the reconstruction of the CTA's Wilson 'L' station in Uptown. The project, which began in 2014, will make the train stop fully accessible to people with disabilities, add a new entrance on Sunnyside, and enable transfers between Red and Purple lines for the first time.

The Navy Pier Flyover is literally taking longer to build than the Golden Gate Bridge, but unfortunately it’s already getting deconstructed.

Chicago’s newest parklet in front of Intelligentsia Coffee, 2642 North Milwaukee, and adjacent to the Logan Theater, is a great addition to the neighborhood.

Here’s some mind-bending drone footage of Metra trains passing by the west end of the Bloomingdale Trail, aka The 606.

To further check the community's pulse on these proposed changes, I dropped by the crossroads to buttonhole people during the evening rush.

The Chicago Department of Transportation recently installed new buffered bike lanes on a 0.75-mile stretch of Harrison between Halsted and Loomis next to UIC and Little Italy as part of a water main project.

Despite what a recent CBS report might have you believe, the contraflow lane on Chicago's newest Neighborhood Greenway will prevent -- not cause -- crashes.

The multicultural avenue provides a first-class feast for the senses, but until recently the corridor provided a less-than-stellar physical environment for walking.

A recent bike crash sparked a new conversation about why the $60 million initiative to build an overpass for cyclists and pedestrians is taking so damn long.
