Word On The Street

“I, for one, voted for our mayor specifically because she was in his administration.”

– Nate In response to "Which Anonymous Council Members Want JSK Gone?"
Eyes on the Street

Sidewalk Wreckage in Chicago

An errant motorist jumped the curb and crashed first into the tree, then the bike rack, and finally the bike parked here. The LaSalle Blue Line station entrance is just steps away (in the background). Imagine the fate of a bicyclist who might have been locking their ride to the bike rack only to find a 2-ton metal box hurtling in their direction.

Students Paint the Pavement in Brooklyn

Not only did these students beautify their school's street, they also identified it to motorists as a thoroughfare frequented by school-age pedestrians in a way that mere signage and conventional markings do not. There are hundreds of school zones across the city that could benefit from the same treatment.
