I've heard from several folks in Elk Grove that a bike plan is underway and nearly everyone agrees that this particular location is dangerous.

Active Transportation Alliance replied to Sue Clark's discussion '83 yr old cyclist killed on NW Side (Trib)'"Back-to-back fatalities...so sad, tragic and unnecessary.
FYI, our suburban staff is meeting with Elk Grove Village tomorrow to discuss a bike plan. They tell me the mayor has expressed interest in making it safer for people on bikes to access…"

Its right near the Cemeteries and is a pretty "calm" part of Irving Park Road. Mind you, I try to stay off of IPR, but if I were to ride on it, that's an area that I might do…"
Cameron 7.5 mi replied to Sue Clark's discussion '83 yr old cyclist killed on NW Side (Trib)'"Since the car was turning from the exit ramp I doubt that was a right hook. Looking at the intersection, I'd guess the cyclist was in cross walk for the Busse Woods Bicycle trail. It's a terrible intersection design where if the exit had a…"

I think I have an old Schwinn vintage girls frame in storage at my sis's down on the south side. If your interested in building it up, let me know and I will retrieve it.
Even better, I have a friend that has a 50cm Raliegh frame w/ a few extras like bottom bracket, seat post, stem and bars that he wants to sell. It is a beautiful frame, Japanese made. I could get you a quote as to what he wants?
