Why did the suspension rates of white students not go down? It appears that district efforts have failed them and more must be done. Black, Hispanic and other are on the rise.
Yes it is unfortunate but is the problem inequity or what caused the suspension ?
To be meaningful the comparison must account for the problem by group.
This would have been an excellent location for a roundabout (i.e. traffic circle). They keep traffic flowing, are much safer and cheaper to operate since you don't need lights.
Agree with all the comments, and also, I'm always bemused by the info painted on the road, including "GB." If it's not obscured by snow or another vehicle, how would a driver brand new to the area
Evanston Cyclist must not be paying attention. Simmons' employer, Sunshine, received 65k from the City in 2017. Only 46 residents, out of Evanston's 70k citizens, took her classes.
Well, This can only improve the situation since it can hardly get any worse. Driving through that intersection has been like driving through the worlds largest pinball machine since the change.
I don’t know who is engineering the traffic design at these intersections. The signage at Emerson is dangerously wordy; the flashing lights impair vision. A bad situation made worse.
There are probably many different answers to "what causes the achievement gap." Let's see how many different ways we can contribute to lessening that gap, which has endured despite years of effort
Different science for different cultures ?
Do they want Latin American students to be taught with the Aztec base 20 system so as to be 'culturally' sensitive ?
How many 'bites of the apple' do they get ?
Question is really how many bites of the taxpayer's wallet.
What's your point?
I think what you've stated is the obvious. I agree there's institutional racism/sexism and that there is socio/economic injustice in America.

Aldermen Question Performance of Housing Group
@ Evanston Motorist. It is not the Alderman’s fault that only 46 residents signed up for her class. The opportunity is open to everyone.
Why didn't they use a roundabout?
This would have been an excellent location for a roundabout (i.e. traffic circle). They keep traffic flowing, are much safer and cheaper to operate since you don't need lights.
I have made it a personal
I have made it a personal promise to myself to NEVER, use Ridge to travel North or South, only to cross over it if necessary.
GB?

Mansion demolition
I enthusiastically second the above proposal to open up more park space and remove an eyesore from the lakefront
Noticed it today
I noticed the change today. It didn't prevent a driver in front of me from being in the Emerson lane when s/he wanted to go on Green Bay.
Traffic Lights
