WBEZ 91.5 Chicago

WBEZ obtained data from the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety from 2009 through September 7, 2012 of this year, to see exactly where these dooring accidents are occurring -- and what type of accidents they result in. There have been 577 reported doorings during that time period.

Utilizing data from Chicago Police Department, WBEZ shows you, but also asks some hard questions. A cursory look at the map reveals that gang territories appear to span all over the city's South and West Sides, but also show up in pockets on the North Side. Also, according to the map, a territory can be as small as a city block, or as large as an entire police district or neighborhood.

Chicagoans can now track the status of pothole repairs, broken street lights or graffiti removal the way they might track a UPS package: with a tracking number. 

The city of Chicago will roll out with the next phase of its plan to restructure the garbage-collection grids, changing pickup days for many on the North Side and the Loop.

What factors lead to bus routes get added or removed? WBEZ's Curious City is investigating. This interactive map shows the current round of bus route changes the CTA is proposing.

CTA and Mayor Emanuel announced last week that ridership was up over the past 16 months on the "L".  We used the Red Line to map out the increases — and decreases — in ridership.

On Wednesday, the City Council will vote to approve a set of supposedly "technical" corrections to Chicago's ward remap that was approved in January. The corrections run 58 pages.
