CTA President Out, Speed Limit Debate, and How Would You Improve Your Ward?
About this episode
CTA President Dorval Carter announced Monday he will retire at the end of the month and take a job leading a West Side hospital. Host Jacoby Cochran and executive producer Simone Alicea break down Carter’s tumultuous last few years and what it means for the city to be without permanent leaders in transit, public housing, and schools. Plus, City Council debates speed limit changes, and how would you spend $500,000 in your ward?
