The feds just pumped over a billion dollars into modernizing the Red Line on the north side of Chicago
Its time to modernize the land use around it to help the city grow.
Come advocate for one of the biggest positive zoning changes in Chicago's history tonight!!!

I've decided Joey will just always beat me to announcing my own work...

My friend and I took the South Shore line from Chicago to South Bend, IN and then rode our bikes across Michigan to Detroit! It took 4 days and was about 250 miles 🚴♂️
The final day was Chelsea to Detroit, through Ann Arbor. Another day of mostly shoulder riding, and then the long approach into Detroit. Ann Arbor is gorgeous, and downtown Detroit is breathtaking.

The result: the ABC of mobility 🚶🚌🚗
