Planned bike lanes will mean safer cycling, walking in South Loop area

At an Aug. 23 residents meeting hosted by South Loop Neighbors at Grace Place on south Dearborn Street, City officials presented a plan for more bike lanes. Construction will occur in summer and fall 2017, with funding coming from the Federal Highway Administration’s Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funds.

“It was a very interesting, well attended meeting,” said Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) Assistant Director of Transportation Planning Mike Amsden, estimating about 50 area residents attended the two-hour meeting.

“Some very vocal concerns dominated the meeting for awhile. When others spoke up, they got excited about the project. The alderman [Sophia King of the 4th Ward] asked who supported the project, and a majority did.”
