Good news for bicycling in IL and Chicagoland
On Friday, IDOT announced $90 million in grants going toward bike, walk and streetscape projects.
We blogged about it and some of the projects are mentioned in today's Sun-Times.
A great highlight is that CDOT won a grant to put in a cycle track (separated bike lane) on Stony Island!
Chicagoland alone will get approximately $45 million of the total and some major trail projects are getting significant funding, including the Veterans Memorial Trail and Calumet-Sag Trail.
Good news, for sure!

I was looking for a way to comment on the Route 66 bike trail.
A large portion of it (will) run parallel to Amtrak so I can see a weekend trip downstate in a few years.

Let's hope that CDOT cycle track doesn't just magically appear one day without some input from the public.

I bet we can find out who's responsible for building it. Probably IDNR or IDOT.
