Leaving a workshop on environmental concerns/disparities in housing, parks and transportation. This route connects the downton bike lanes with another bike lane on the other side of this intersection. The meeting was at a church along this gap in the network. Literally no other way to get there.

Years ago we had the mayor bike to school with my 6 year old, within the first :30 seconds they were almost hit by a driver on live TV.
Every leader should be required to ride a bike (if able) with a 6 year old before they provide any direction on bike infrastructure.

Funny how the "but what about emergency services" argument never gets brought up here.
The result of that one bike lane going in that the angry guy at the community meeting warned us about.

Bike lanes in Evanston range in quality from amazing to useless. That’s why I’m organizing with city transportation staff and planning a “rolling meeting” with our elected officials and residents. There’s no substitute for riding it yourself. More details to come.
Over the last decade, traffic crashes dropped 33% in Evanston, IL and traffic injuries dropped 44%, thanks in part to protected bike lanes.

But - wait for for it - Evanston merchants claim PBLs on Chicago Avenue will bankrupt them.

My review of Main St. bike infrastructure in Evanston from the newly resurfaced mixed use district by the lake to the North Branch Channel Trail connection at the city’s western boarder with Skokie.

First post might as well be a pretty picture of my atb / gravel bike.
