Big changes are coming to West Texas Street! In our latest Talk Around Town video, we caught up with Senior Engineer David Vong to talk about the West TX Complete Streets Project — a major effort to make this busy corridor safer, more walkable, and better for everyone who uses it.The project will reduce traffic lanes to help slow speeds, add protected bike lanes, and create new bus turnouts so buses don't block traffic. It'll also bring in shaded walkways and fresh landscaping to make the street more comfortable and inviting.This is an $11 million project, with nearly all the funding coming from state and regional sources — a huge win for Fairfield. Construction kicks off soon and will take about a year to complete.Watch the full video to learn what's coming, how it'll impact traffic, and why it'll make a big difference in the way we move around the city.To stay updated, visit fairfield.ca.gov/complete

What would win in a race between a car, bike and the Chicago Transit Authority? Over the past few years, Chicago has been abuzz with road construction projects. There are more protected bike lanes, pedestrian refuge islands and curb bump-outs across the city. As we learned in our last episode, that also includes the installation of miniature traffic circles in residential areas. It's all in service to make the roads safer by slowing cars down. Safer streets is a win, but it doesn't necessarily satisfy the urge to get somewhere fast. Cycling and public transportation are viable alternatives, but sometimes it's hard to separate yourself from the convenience of driving somewhere. In this episode, the Curious City team puts the different modes of transportation to the test in a good old-fashioned transit race. From the Garfield Park Conservatory to Navy Pier, who will win? Car, bike or public transportation? Plus, Midwest correspondent for the Economist, Daniel Knowles makes the case for why we should rethink our relationship with cars, and answers why the fastest isn't always the best. “People will always drive if it's the most convenient or the quickest way,” said Knowles, author of “Carmeggedon: How Cars Make Life Worse and What to Do About It.” “You can't exhort people to change, you have to kind of change the incentives.”
