Developing a citywide network of bus rapid transit and dedicated bus lanes
Lowering speed limits to 20 mph on arterial streets and 10 mph on residential streets
Restricting right turns on red lights
Creating a connected and protected bike network
Developing a network of neighborhood slow streets
Creating a multi-disciplinary response to support the safety, health, and housing needs of people on transit
Working towards a municipal Plow the Sidewalks program
Limiting commercial traffic on residential streets
Citywide curb management program that addresses needs for deliveries, drop-offs, and accessibility
Adding new customer support personnel such as “transit ambassadors” to CTA’s staff
Better coordination among transportation agencies at different levels of government

Would be really great if MBJ lowered the speed limit citywide, eliminated rights on red, and expands alternative modes of transport like BRT and bicycle network
