There obviously more work to be done and I love that Chicago is so far ahead of so many cities when it comes to bicycle infrastructure.
Is this the same Chicago that sold all their parking meters to Wall Street making infrastructure changes really difficult because it would cut into parking meter profits?
Yeah and I kind of love it anyway. Since the sale, meter pricing has sky rocketed which discourages driving. Fuck cars!!
Discouraging driving is good but when a city can't close or repurpose roads because of a parking meter contract, it kind of sucks.
I was thinking that might be a thing. Actually kind of poetic. Love it.
I'm thinking that unless they also add a program to give low income Chicagoans bicycles, we're going to see a crime wave. Just sayin'
I live in small city where the exact opposite applies. The cycleways don't extend through richer neighbourhoods. The poorer neighbourhoods are plastered with cycleways. But there's lots of NIMBY people here.
