The relationship between ridership and nearby population is strongest when we define “nearby” as being between 1.0 and 1.5 miles.

The conflict took place at 626 S. Pulaski Rd., and the victim was dragged two blocks south, until he struck another driver's open door and fell, and the first motorist fled the scene.

But why doesn't the plan include a safe route on an IDOT-controlled stretch of 103rd Street, just north of the park?

On Tuesday, the Chicago Department of Transportation hosted a webinar providing an overview and guidelines for compliance with Travel Demand Study and Management Plan (TDM) Requirements.

As a Streetsblog Chicago reader, if you're short on time to do a full read of new mayor Brandon Johnson's 223-page 2023 Mayoral Transition Report, consider at least checking out the 15-page section provided by Johnson's transportation committee. We may do a deeper dive into the document on Streetsblog in the near future. But before the weekend kicks off, I just wanted to give you a quick heads-up about the existence of the report, and a very brief rundown of what's in the most SBC-relevant section.

There will be a virtual community meeting on the project this Monday, July 10, at 6 p.m., but fortunately the new bikeway is a done deal.
