Re: Elan Uptown (all phases) - 2837 Emerson Ave

Anyone know what's going on with the Elan? The phase 1 building is now The Miles . New sign up on the Dupont side of the building though some of the Elan branding is still visible elsewhere. I don't think it's been sold, so is this just a rebranding to help visibility now that they're no longer the ...

Re: Sons of Norway block redevelopment - 1455 Lake St W

Love the scale. Love 326 units. Not a huge fan of 327 parking stalls, but that does come to less than 1/unit because some portion of those spots are intended for SoN employees. At the open house they said it was 327 underground stalls for residents and then there was also ground level structured pa...

Re: Bicycle Infrastructure

The buffer lane for this new stretch looks a little wider than the phase one section to the east, but it's maybe a foot wider, not double. The bollards went in on the Wedge section of 28th yesterday.

Re: Bicycle Infrastructure

Seriously, ticketing people who ride on the sidewalk? Given the many things that MPD ignores these days, this should be way down the list of enforcement priorities.

Re: D Line - Fremont/Emerson/Chicago Rapid Bus

Frankly, I'd like to see the entire Chicago transit station torn down, re-thought-out and rebuilt to orient to Chicago and Lake directly, much as how the Uptown station operates.

The one at Portland and 3rd is $2 for nights and weekends, the one at Park and Washington is $5. (and day rates are more like $7-12, not...
