Bike lanes were finally painted this morning on Jackson between Ogden and Ashland. They're not 100% complete yet. Looks like they've painted new lane markings between Ashland and Loomis but no bike…Continue

Jason W replied to Tucker's discussion 'Jackson bike lanes painted near Ashland'"I rode it for the first time today, and I too echo the sentiments above. I see no point in it being on the left. Does anyone know why it was done that way?
And yes, it just ends at halsted, which is right before the exit of I90/94, also on the…"
Leah Jone replied to Tucker's discussion 'Jackson bike lanes painted near Ashland'"The end of the lane at Halsted is going to be brutal, but they used a full car lane and turned Jackson from 3 lanes to 2 car lanes + bicycle lane. it is wide and roomy, but passengers aren't used to looking for bikes, so watch for doors."
Peenworm Grubologist replied to Tucker's discussion 'Jackson bike lanes painted near Ashland'"It was pretty bad when it just crossed from the right side to the left when it hit Damen, particularly because it also makes a blind run across a parking lot entrance across from Malcolm X College, where cars coming in can't see you because of…"
Tucker replied to Tucker's discussion 'Jackson bike lanes painted near Ashland'"Yeah, it's on the left, and as Jamais said it's a pain in the ass where it ends at Halsted. Half the cars waiting at the light with you at Halsted gun it for the Kennedy on-ramp, and cars are turning left onto Jackson from the…"
Cameron 7.5 mi replied to Tucker's discussion 'Jackson bike lanes painted near Ashland'"Is the new Jackson bike lane on the left? I hoped CDOT had learned not to use this nonstandard design after the much (and rightfully so) criticized Dearborn lane.

Cameron 7.5 mi replied to Tucker's discussion 'Jackson bike lanes painted near Ashland'"In general, the Loop lacks outbound routes. Similarly from the North, Wells, Clark, and Wabash will get you into the Loop, but unless you count the left side dangerous freak of a bike lane on Dearborn, there's no route out.

Jamais716 replied to Tucker's discussion 'Jackson bike lanes painted near Ashland'"Haven't heard anything. Adams might be a good choice since it's pretty quiet west of Halsted, but the road's not as wide.
I prefer no bike lane to one that disappears in a bad spot. Rode in on Jackson bike lane this…"
Kevin replied to Tucker's discussion 'Jackson bike lanes painted near Ashland'"Has anyone heard of any plans to put a bike lane in on a westbound street somewhere between or near Washington & Jackson, running along roughly the same east-west distance? Washington, along with the new additions to Jackson provide two…"
Jamais716 replied to Tucker's discussion 'Jackson bike lanes painted near Ashland'"Previously it only went from Western to Ogden."
Jamais716 replied to Tucker's discussion 'Jackson bike lanes painted near Ashland'"Jackson bike lane is striped from Ogden all the way to Green! It's not protected, but buffered and it's a pretty wide lane."

Bike lanes were finally painted this morning on Jackson between Ogden and Ashland. They're not 100% complete yet. Looks like they've painted new lane markings between Ashland and Loomis but no bike lane. Not sure how much farther east this work goes.See More

this is a fun weekend getaway with very scenic riding.50 miles Saturday and 50 Miles Sunday.Camping at the Ellettsville HS grounds.Challenging Hills, Great Fall Colors and overall a great time. Bloomington, IN also has two great micro-breweries (BBC (Bloomington Brewing Company) and Upland Brewery. It would be great to get 2 or more vehicles and carpool / caravan. Plan on leaving chicago around mid-day Friday and returning home Sunday evening. For any die-hard IU basketball fans, Bobby Knight's…See More
