I swear some urbanists are making way too big a deal about NASCAR. It's a cool race that puts Chicago in the spotlight! They kept the lake front trail open! Drivers are the most inconvenienced. I find this race way less offensive than the daily traffic carnage in Chicago.

We're staring in the face of climate crisis after climate crisis, but this weekend Chicago's downtown parks will be a giant advert for the automotive and fossil fuel industry under the guise of "tourism" – an event that attracts barely as many spectators as a baseball game.

It's funny how we have this huge bus transit center right next to our intercity rail station, yet it sits empty while intercity buses all load in the bus lane on Jackson, making all the local buses get stuck in traffic.

@the_transit_guy @FischermanDan the 3D mapping is done by LIDAR from aircraft passing over the city, taking multiple passes to get different angles. since cars are always moving, they're in different places on each pass and don't end up in the final composite image.
