That sounds like a scene straight out of the movies 🎬

They certainly are! It was great to ride on 🇷🇸

Thank you @arielparrella.bsky.social and the team at Block Club for helping us to spread the word about our celebration 🇵🇱

Chicago’s 1st Dyngus night, a celebration of Polish culture, is coming to Logan Square. blockclubchi.co/48bCN6S

The Serbian capital of Belgrade is the largest European city to offer free public transit since January of 2025 🇷🇸

The average Illinoisian buys just under one gallon of gas a day.

The CrossTowner regional rail vision has a base price estimate of just under $10 billion.

If gas holds steady at $2/gal higher now than a month ago, it'd only take about 431 days for Illinois drivers to pay enough to #BuildTheTunnel.

Great story!

I love boring but meaningful infrastructure upgrades

On behalf of Illinois’ 3rd Congressional District, it is my privilege to commend Pogo for his dedication to public service and community.

The biggest rail expansion project in the Chicago area for 30 years is in Indiana

Cook County has an active infill rail station study underway. Put dots on the map where you want a new train station. cook-rail-survey-hntbcorp.hub.arcgis.com

ABSOLUTELY Nagle!

Chicagoans took more than 430 million bus rides in 1988! Then the bottom fell out after 1990 (due in part to drastic service cuts precipitated by a fiscal crisis - sound familiar??).

Looking forward to this 😊

Local Historian and recent Metropolitan Water Reclamation District Commissioner Dan Pogorzelski, nicknamed "The Mayor of Avondale," leads a Full Harvest Moon Walk along the river on Sunday 9/7 from Burning Bush Brewery, 4014 N. Rockwell St.

Sen. Villivalam discusses:
-Why it would be foolish *not* to seek $1.5B for transit
-Why dismissing the issue as a simply a Chicago problem is a lie
-Whether there will be a summer legislative session.
