Video where Kathy S notes in an interview that we were promised 25 miles of protected bike lanes the first year and we only have 6
I came across the above somewhere or ither about a week ago searching for something else (probably ROS coverage) and it kind of slipped away.
Anyone got a link?

Yes, but I'll settle for any video where someone named Kathy notes in an interview that we were promised 25 miles of protected bike lanes the first year and we only have 6.

They promise a lot of things. Welcome to the city of broad shrugging shoulders.
We'll be lucky if we get 25 miles total at the rate we are going. And they'll just pull out all the bollards when they are done anyhow.

A bunch of negative Nellys here...
CDOT just released their Streets for Cycling draft plan. That is good enough, isn't it? ;)

Nice Graphic Duppie!
Notice the huge dead-zone/no-man's-land within Logan Square/Avondale at the Kennedy and the River. It's like the Berlin Wall almost with no way across East/West.
If only there was an East-West corridor at around, hmmm, Roscoe maybe...

What graphic are you referring to? There doesn't seem to be major dead spaces when looking at the graphics on page 23 except for the one on the far south side.

I did see an East-West corridor ("A Crosstown Bike Route") on what looks like Addison....

Here's a larger version of the map that allows you to zoom in and read street names:

You are correct that the is a crosstown route running on Addison from about Lane Tech to just west of the Kennedy.

What's the next East/West Corridor to the South of Addison?

I only know what's on the map I linked too, which identifies Diversy as the next E/W crossing south for both the river and the Kennedy. Adding two river crossings in the gap between Cortland and Berteau is a major improvement.

If Diversey was made into a safe crossing I would just about cream myself.
