By now, you might’ve heard about Chicago’s new Streets for Cycling Plan 2020. In a nutshell, the plan will guide the development of 150-250 miles of innovative bikeways—including protected bike lanes—that will make bicycling a safe and easy option for everyone.
As part of the effort to create the plan, nine community advisory groups have been developed representing each region of the city.
The community advisory groups provide a great way for you to get involved in this exciting process. Local residents know their streets better than anyone else. Share your expertise and experiences by getting involved in this groundbreaking plan for biking in Chicago!
Check the map below to identify your region and then join a community advisory group by contacting one of the leaders.
Saturday is a Streets for Cycling open house in the Loop. Drop by for an hour or two and share your thoughts. And don't forget to sign on to Active Trans' Neighborhood Bikeways campaign.
