Richard replied to Juana Bike's discussion 'Safest Route from NW Evanston to Broadway/Roscoe'"Juana - did you find a good route yet?
I forgot about this. I've been keeping track of my rides to/from Northwestern to Limcoln Sq on this map below. Not saying this is the best resource, but it's kind of my field notes of my first year…"
Richard replied to Juana Bike's discussion 'Safest Route from NW Evanston to Broadway/Roscoe'"I've been riding the NCT again between Northwestern (Noyes) and Lincoln Sq/Ravenswood (South of Lawrence). There are discers out there. Make no mistake, it's a poorly designed course. But, I put more faith in the active/outdoor type…"
Cameron 7.5 mi replied to Juana Bike's discussion 'Safest Route from NW Evanston to Broadway/Roscoe'"The trail is open again, but I've heard that the new disk golf course built around as created some dangerous stretches were the the trail crosses the fairway. Probably not an issue with a morning commute, but could be a problem in the…"
David Barish replied to Juana Bike's discussion 'Safest Route from NW Evanston to Broadway/Roscoe'"Koula
Its open. I rode to the disc golf course yesterday and the trail is now open all the way.
An alternate and Lincolnless route is Dodge/California south to Ainslie. ( I don't recall which way the streets go there but Winnimac or Argyle…"
koala replied to Juana Bike's discussion 'Safest Route from NW Evanston to Broadway/Roscoe'"Agreed that getting over to Kedzie is the way to go. Is the trail open between Touhy and Devon? I've been riding Kedzie between Howard and the Devon since the trail was closed at Touhy.
Also, looks like Granville is a straight shot…"
Anne Alt replied to Juana Bike's discussion 'Safest Route from NW Evanston to Broadway/Roscoe'"That first route is a pretty nice one. Doorings are a problem on Lincoln. It can be a useful street, but it requires caution.

David crZven 10.6 replied to Juana Bike's discussion 'Safest Route from NW Evanston to Broadway/Roscoe'"I prefer California to the NCT. It runs pretty much parallel."
Bill Savage replied to Juana Bike's discussion 'Safest Route from NW Evanston to Broadway/Roscoe'"Oh, and in the winter, the snow clearance on the NCT is spotty. If you want a detailed sidestreet route, just ask."
Bill Savage replied to Juana Bike's discussion 'Safest Route from NW Evanston to Broadway/Roscoe'"I'm with Cameron. NCT is the way to go. If you're further east, then I'd have some detailed directions, but if you're west of Ridge (or even Sherman), then it's worth it to just go west to the NCT. The lack…"
Cameron 7.5 mi replied to Juana Bike's discussion 'Safest Route from NW Evanston to Broadway/Roscoe'"I would take the North Channel trail to Wilson to Ravenswood to School to Broadway. Going home just switch Roscoe for School. Alternately you could take Wilson to Lincoln to School, but personally I've always felt like Lincoln is a dooring…"
