Nailed it! As we predicted, the anonymous blog Uptown Update ran "a new post bemoaning the decision" for PBLs on Clark. But, sorry, SBC didn't "e-taunt" "Uptown Girl" by referencing her in our title – we didn't know an UU writer had that handle. That was just a Billy Joel joke! @bikegridnow.org
Imagine getting this mad about bike lanes. Couldn’t be me. What an insane way to “live”!
“they don't agree with the bike lanes.” What does that even mean?!? What’s next, we can’t have sewers of street lights because somebody doesn’t “agree” with them? That’s not how basic infrastructure works in a sane or functional world.
Here's our post: chi.streetsblog.org/2025/08/18/u... And UU's latest anti-safe streets gripe. ("Hey, wait, I got a new complaint!" 🎵) uptownupdate.com/2025/08/anot... @betterstreetschicago.org @chicritmass.bsky.social @stevevance.net @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social @rideillinois.bsky.social
UU: “Billy Joel wrote a song about me. Obsessed much?”
