RESCHEDULED TO THE 27th!
Robust community inputters! We are tired of the City drawing up plans that don’t do enough to protect vulnerable road users.
Even worse? When they consider it and toss out protected lanes because…parking? It’s challenging?
Unacceptable! It’s time to jam it up.
The city is developing plans for a refurbished Logan Square Blue Line station… including bike lanes on Milwaukee to Belmont.
To top it all off, the “robust” community input comprised of 30 people. 13 of which said they wanted protected lanes vs 10 who said dashed lanes were enough.
Fatality and injury data is clear, dashed lanes aren’t enough.
Even CDOT designs show a truck in the dashed bike lane!!
Pushing aside the concerns that vulnerable road users have over traffic violence is unconscionable as drivers continue to kill people at record numbers.
88 people have been killed so far this year. Over 150 people in 2022. We need to build better infra.
We will send CDOT back to the drawing board to pull out a better design for a protected bike lane. Nothing less will suffice.
