@metraUPN Yes: it was not accurate this morning on a number of parameters- for example it showed train 324 had departed Main Street as of 9:33am when it actually had not (it arrvoed around 10am and now correctly tracking…)

@metraUPN The app and the tracker are virtually useless in these situations. They tells you to check the tracker but the tracker just says “DLY”. Lots of room for improvement on this

Inbound and outbound trains are on the move delayed and some may be operating with extensive delays due to police activity. Some trains may also have operational changes. Visit metratracker.com for the location of your train and listen to announcements.

@JohnSweeney07 @EvanstonPD @EvanstonFD @WGNNews @WBBMNewsradio @TotalTrafficCHI Second that… remarkable work and coordination by EFD and all of the neighboring departments who arrived to assist

Multiple road closures surrounding Greenleaf and Wesley due to heavy fire from a commercial building. @EvanstonFD is on-scene. Avoid the area. @WGNNews @WBBMNewsradio @TotalTrafficCHI

@EvanstonPD Congratulations and thank you for your commitment and service to our community!

Congrats to Ofc. McCray on his retirement. His career included many accomplishments & positive impacts on the community he served. Ofc. McCray is pictured here with an award received from the State of IL for his heroic actions during the 2021 Howard St active shooter incident.

@EvanstonPD Thank you for that- being that “I’m just one person” who disrespects these rules puts everyone at risk

These signs are posted near several Evanston elementary and middle schools. They are not optional, even if some drivers may be slightly inconvenienced during drop-off / pick-up times. Officers will be rotating their patrols around the schools to ensure compliance and safety.

@EvanstonPD Well deserved. A great program run by a group of dedicated and caring individuals.

Congrats to The Officer & Gentlemen Academy and Officer Adam Howard on receiving the Second Baptist Church 2023 African American Educator Award. Officer Howard was joined by Sergeant Erv de Leon, Officer Nick Jones, and Officer Jason Nelson, who all assisted with the program.

They are not checking tix on the UP North so that takes care of it I guess

So is the Ventra Chicago app down?

@NWSTopeka So… because the smell was so strong here, we got an alert from our local PD last night about the smoke from these fires… in Evanston Illinois!!

We are getting reports of the smell of smoke - it is likely from the fires in central Kansas and the strong westerly winds pushing smoke eastward. Black spots indicate heat on satellite:
