I was thinking more Lincoln from Wellington to Roscoe since that's where most businesses are concentrated around there. School is one of my favorite east-west routes around there to avoid Belmont.
Diversey, Clark, and Broadway gets my vote as well. Broadway north of there in particular is tight.
either of those... any of them. all good.
I am voting for the Diversey, Clark, Broadway intersection.
Takers....?
The portion of Ashland right near Whole Foods might be good to include, though.
Don't people who attempt to bike on Ashland deserve to be doored? (kidding :) I don't personally have a preference between the locations I suggested. But I think if we do that area (I'm assuming you mean between Addison and Belmont), it looks like most of the doorings are happening on Lincoln itself, with a few also on Belmont. http://www.wbez.org/news/map-where-are-chicagos-bike-dooring-accide...
which one would be your #1 Pam?
Im hip to the Lincoln area - especially Ashland, people often do bike on that monster and being doored on that bad boy would be brutal.
posted a list of suggestions a while back and Katie said she was down with most of them... any of those look good?
What about Belmont-Lincoln-Ashland area? Lincoln and Belmont are both narrow streets with lots of bike traffic. No bike lane so I always try to find that balance between giving cars room to pass and not riding too close to doors. Plus there are lots of shops in that area so lots of people coming and going.
Taking suggestions on our next Safety Blitz event.
We have done Andersonville, Wicker Park and a school on Southport.
Anyone have any strong desires for certain neighborhoods?
I wanted to get something on the calendar soon.
Thanks!
We are gonna get sandy on Memorial Day!
