100 mile PBL goal met? Not exactly. Still a great "bike network" milestone for CDOT.

Chicagoist must have gone off the press release for this article, "Chicago has finally reached the mayor's ambitious goal of installing more than 100 miles of protected bike lanes in Chicago by this year."

We are truly lucky to have Streetsblog in Chicago because they really understand Chicago's cycling-related issues and do a great job of reporting what is so important to the cycling community. 

From Streetsblog Chicago, 

"First, let’s get one thing straight. Despite what was stated today in the Chicago Department of Transportation’s press release, and local news reports based on it, the city has not achieved Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s goal of installing 100 miles of protected bike lanes in four years."

Since the initiative began four years ago, have you seen PBL or buffered bike lanes or improvements on your regular routes?
