Act fast for bike/ped/transit funding
We need to act fast! The economic stimulus package could mean good things for biking, walking and transit. Tell your congressperson and state legislator that you want bike, pedestrian and transit projects funded in the stimulus. Find out who represents you at www.ILGA.gov. Look for more information in the upcoming ModeShift newsletter.
Specifically, we are working to get funding for the following projects:
Pedestrian and Bicycle Projects
Burnham Greenway (South Cook County)
Bike boulevards and bike lanes (Chicago)
Deerfield Road Bike Path (Lake County)
Safe Routes to School Will-Center Road sidewalk (Monee)
Illinois Prairie Path Bridge over EJ&E Railroad (DuPage County)
Stearns Road Bridge at Fox River (Kane County)
Chicago Avenue streetscape (Evanston)
Sidewalk and ADA curb ramp improvements (all communities)
Transit
