the only thing that the rail line next to the highway does is provide an easy smash and grab parking lot, and take up space that could be used for something productive like a green belt and extra lanes.

I live right next to an old quarry and landfill that was turned into a gorgeous 50-acre nature park with a big hill (a Thing in Chicago) and a fishing pound

it was also designed to hold the water from a century-level flood so hopefully my house will stay dry

I'm still only a ten minute walk from the L and it's a 4 mile bike ride to work

seems like a good reason to promote greenways, parks, and bike trails rather then trains and buses but what do I know

yet another example of cyclists wanting preferential treatment, rather then being treated like any other vehicle.

he's supposed to tie a little red flag to let people know he's carrying something that sticks off his vehicle more then 18 inches, instead of recklessly taking the law, and lane enforcement, in to his own hands.

subway and elevated rail are good, but buses are garbage everywhere and you're lying to yourself if you think they're good.

correct except that subway and elevated rail are also bad, and is extremely disruptive to the natural environment and takes away from greenspaces around the city.
