Streetsblog Reader Meetup at Haymarket Brewing at Haymarket Brewing

May 8, 2013 from 5:30pm to 9pm
Come talk transportation with Streetsblog Chicago reporters Steven Vance and John Greenfield and other walking, biking, and transit enthusiasts over pints in the back room of this labor-themed brewpub. After all, the most sustainable beer is served in the same location where it's brewed, with no gasoline burned during distribution. Cash bar; complimentary snacks while they last, plus free Streetsblog and Grid Chicago (our old website) stickers, buttons and posters. Hope to see you there!See More

"I've only heard one co-worker tell me that she "hates when cyclists are in the road, because they slow me down." We were driving to the movies. I politely pointed out that the road is for all users, and that was that. Haven't…"

"Hmm, I did not know that was legal... I've always just waited for a green. Guess it's been a while since I've driven a car! In CBDs I think it should be completely illegal to make any turns on red. On so many of these streets there…"

"The weather's kind of crap today, but I did see some people on bikes at PM rush hour. I've seen a fair amount over the past few days at rush periods too. I've also seen my fair share of drivers turning against the left turn arrow.…"

"Unfortunately I don't see a better way than that. Otherwise it's just large vehicles blocking the whole lane. Too bad there isn't another way to ensure it doesn't happen aside from more enforcement (unlikely - see the cops in…"

"I walk to work from the red line and just saw a car parked in the lane at Jackson (north side of the intersection). Would there be enough room to install a bollard in the middle of the bike lane at each intersection so that the lane isn't so…"

"10mph, in my opinion, isn't "speedy." Signals for cars are different that signals for bikes: drivers don't exert a lot of energy to start moving after being stopped, people on bikes do. It would have been nice to have at least a…"
