Shaun Jacobsen replied to Serge Lubomudrov's discussion 'What Happened to "[Passing] on Your Left"? . . .'Shaun Jacobsen replied to Steven Vance's discussion 'Chicago bike sharing will be known as Divvy, be Chicago flag blue'"I haven't but I'm a little concerned about the rack removals; are they going to replace them? As it is in some popular areas around/in downtown, it is hard to find a spot! I like that people are using the bike racks, since it means people…"
Shaun Jacobsen replied to Steven Vance's discussion 'Chicago bike sharing will be known as Divvy, be Chicago flag blue'"The docks in NY were actually in about a month or so, I believe, and we've got two weeks. But they have more docks initially, so it was more work, I'm guessing.
Their bikes weren't in until two days before launch.

Shaun Jacobsen replied to Steven Vance's discussion 'Chicago bike sharing will be known as Divvy, be Chicago flag blue'"I also wanted to add that it would be wonderful if the city someday added an option to go up to 45 minutes free instead of 30, as in New York. You can also do this on Vélib' in Paris if you pay more per year (39 € instead of 29). It…"
Shaun Jacobsen replied to Steven Vance's discussion 'Chicago bike sharing will be known as Divvy, be Chicago flag blue'"#87! It opened a little before noon. I was just curious if it would, lo and behold it had opened early.
Like many others I've seen on here, I'm throwing my support in even though I have a bike because it'll be great for bad-weather…"
Shaun Jacobsen is attending John Greenfield's event
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
Shaun Jacobsen replied to Will's discussion 'Dealing with anti-cycling "friends"'"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…"
Shaun Jacobsen replied to Morgan 6 mi's discussion 'I rode Dearborn today...anyone else?'"They're talking about cross streets..."
Shaun Jacobsen replied to Morgan 6 mi's discussion 'I rode Dearborn today...anyone else?'"I think in this scenario Michelle was talking about a car turning left from Lake (one way east) to Dearborn (one way north) so there would not be a left then arrow to someone driving east on Lake wishing to turn left onto Dearborn"
Shaun Jacobsen replied to Morgan 6 mi's discussion 'I rode Dearborn today...anyone else?'"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…"
Shaun Jacobsen replied to Morgan 6 mi's discussion 'I rode Dearborn today...anyone else?'"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.…"
Shaun Jacobsen replied to Morgan 6 mi's discussion 'I rode Dearborn today...anyone else?'"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…"
Shaun Jacobsen replied to Morgan 6 mi's discussion 'I rode Dearborn today...anyone else?'"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…"
Shaun Jacobsen replied to Morgan 6 mi's discussion 'I rode Dearborn today...anyone else?'"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…"
