Join our first Tour de Border! We're riding with the Evanston Transit Alliance and State Senator Mike Simmons (7th) to talk about biking between Evanston and Chicago's bike networks (and how they do not connect!)

⏰ Thursday, August 27th at 6:30p
Please attend the 19th Police District's monthly meeting to learn more about where the RRPEA pilot stands and how you can help. If CPD isn't going to enforce traffic laws to keep us safe, we need citywide programs that let us help keep us safe.
📍4501 N Clarendon (Clarendon Community Center Park)
⏰ Wednesday, July 29th at 6:30p
With the 8th and 19th Police District Councilors, there is a proposal to direct all 911 parking violation (PVs) calls to the Department of Finance rather than CPD. Currently, OEMC directs all 911 calls about PVs to CPD dispatchers. Instead, a pilot program in the 8th and 19th police districts would direct these calls to Rapid Response Parking Enforcement Aides (RRPEAs) who will be immediately dispatched to confirm and issue a ticket, if necessary.
One of our marshals had their bike stolen at Leavitt/Cermak today.
The bike says "scourer" and has cork handles; it's one of a kind. They have a small reward if you find it or the kindness of your heart will do. Throw a lock on it + get in touch with us and we'll get it back to them.
Is the paint fading in an existing lane? Are the protected bike line curbs broken? Let us know below or DM us. We're collecting streets to follow up with Alders on.
Our current list is:
Damen between Diversey and Belmont (painted lane)
55th at Hyde Park (sharrow)
Central Park between Irving Park + Belle Plaine (painted lane)
Argyle between Rockwell and the River (missing contraflow)
Lincoln Ave in the 32nd and 43rd ward (painted lane)
Albion between Sheridan and the CTA embankment (missing contraflow)
Glenwood between Argyle - Hollywood
Please, join us in community as we celebrate the life of Riley O'Neil and Jam in his honor.
