Working to bring more tech and Real Housewife franchises into cities. Team member of City Tech Collaborative. My opinions are my own...or Andy Cohen's.
That's a wrap on the first semester of our partnership with the @thisisUIC Innovation Center, sponsored by @boschusa@MSFTChicago and @here! 🎉🥳 Students presented the final projects that will be narrowed for prototyping in January.

I've found myself rambling about freight (mostly issues re:congestion) to strangers at bars more and more frequently. This article is slightly more effective and has primed me for Thanksgiving table talk. planning.org/planning/2019/n…
👏👏👏 @T4America's new stance on transportation funding: "What the program should be about is accountability to the American taxpayer—making a few clear, concrete, measurable promises and then delivering on them"

The #Thunderbots are visiting from Iowa! Just like City Tech, they define a real-world problem and create a solution...except the Thunderbots make theirs out of LEGOS!
What's the coolest thing you've ever built with Legos?

Street typologies need to safely support all the modes a city offers - if scooters stay in Chicago, I hope to see a plan to make our roads better accommodate them.
The city of Atlanta is proposing a two-year, $5-million plan to incorporate enhanced safety designs to the streets which will improve safety for pedestrians, drivers, transit riders, bike riders and e-scooter riders. ow.ly/TGF150wsp9w
Our one and only David Leopold (far right) joined @ITS_America at the Executive Session on Urban Mobility on how cities have paved the way to innovation. City Tech was highlighted as a national model for cross-sector solution development in this rapidly changing industry đźš—
