The Fight Against Chicago's Circle Interchange
Submitted by Caitlin Ghoshal on Wed, 06/26/2013 - 1:02pmThe Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) plans to expand the Circle Interchange, an interchange at the confluence of the Dan Ryan, Kennedy and Eisenhower Expressways (Interstates 90/94 and 290), and Congress Parkway in Chicago. IDOT is proposing to construct three flyover ramps as part of their four year, $450 million dollar improvement plan. Two ramps will go over Harrison Street (west of Halsted and just east of South Des Plaines Street). Another ramp will go over Halsted Street (south of Van Buren Street) and will divide the Greektown neighborhood.

Learning from Seattle: Transit
Submitted by MLewyn on Fri, 06/21/2013 - 12:59pmBefore attending the Livable Cities conference in Portland, I am visiting Seattle for a few days. As in Salt Lake City, there are some things I like and some I don't.
Seattle seems to have an extensive bus system. Ideally, a bus system would give riders a way to pay without having to fumble for dollar bills and quarters- New York's metro card system comes to mind.
Seattle has such a system; however, to get a metrocard you have to pay a $5 start-up fee- not exactly a tempting option for visitors and occasional users.
