* Analysis paralysis is, indeed, all too real and, unfortunately, not confined to transit or Chicago…

âAnalysis paralysisâ is real. We can make anything a pilot project. Just go out there and try something.

It is also worth noting that these studies are being done by Pace and CTA, rather than the RTA, the regional public transit planning agency. #PlanningSilos

We plan ourselves to death and then make more plans for the funeral. /s

Planners plan, and when the plan fails, they may a new plan.

The only thing missing is the planners of the previous plan leaving â3 envelopesâ on how to handle all the fixinâ

Rich, every time you use this heading my head swims to âFixinâ to be friendlyâ in âHail Caesarâ and I laugh a lil, inside.
So great.

It takes time to figure out how to make sure all the right “stakeholders” get their stake

why not phase in different kinds of buses? I’ve always thought the big green buses awful and too big for most lines. and those accordion ones ridiculous.

We could crowdsource 90% of their report’s findings in the comments here. I’ll go first: greater distance between bus stops along routes.

Have you noticed the proposal to return to the RTA parking tax?

It’s beyond me how Dorval Carter has escaped the ax so far. The Mayor should plan for his successor.

Not just limited to Chicago. I sometimes think Springfield spends more money studying a problem than they do fixing it.

Austrian philosopher Kurt Gödel, arguably smarter than Einstein, concluded that our understanding of the universe is and always will be finite. Only someone outside of our universe and itâs laws can understand it.
By the same token, in working on artificial intelligence, we have come to understand that while consciousness exists and in fact may be universal, no system can ever be sufficiently complex that it completely understands itself.
In practical terms, when it comes to strategic planning and overhauling systems both inside and outside government, I have heard it said that âItâs hard to think outside the box, when you *are* the box.â
Every system is perfectly designed to get exactly the results it is getting. Even if we do not understand the reason, it is there. And putting the same folks in charge of âreformingâ the current system that built it might lead to incremental improvements, but rarely if ever leads to radical change.

That’s the whole business model for CMAP
