Riley O’Neil, a biking advocate and Chicago Department of Transportation worker, died in a traffic incident while biking earlier this month. In the Loop sits down with local organizers and cyclists to discuss building safer streets in Chicago.

"UChicago executive director of Chicago Studies & Experimental Learning Chris Skrable said the city initially pushed back on whether a high-density development could be supported in Woodlawn"
The city should be supporting dense, walkable, mixed-use, transit oriented development, not impeding it.
There are still tickets left to our housing policy forum: Unlocking Our Potential!
Join us this Sunday at Midwest Coast Brewing as we discuss how varying levels of policy factor into rising housing costs, as well as how we can get our neighborhoods to better meet the needs of their residents.
The city needs to do a comprehensive rezoning that increases allowable density everywhere then combos this with a broad set of transit TIFs that funnel capital into building out BRT, bike lanes, and regional rail on Metra. Existing TIFs with unclear mandates should be sunsetted to compensate.
We don’t talk about this map enough.
If you live in an area that’s red, you should
1) call/email your alderman
2) tell them that you’re concerned about housing costs
3) ask them lift the ban on multifamily buildings in your neighborhood by rezoning to minimum of RT-4. @stevevance.net
