That's a great idea Todd... Maybe we could make up form letters in advance to distribute and collect at the end of the ride, with a section for personal comments, and deliver them all to CDOT?
The off street path (North Channel trail?) along the Chicago river north of Lawrence ends on Kedzie/Jersey just north of Lincoln. A lot of money was spent on this to make the underpasses which are very nice and encourage me to ride this path when going north.
But I guess they ran out of money after the last underpass because if you are headed northbound the path ends rather badly on a short section of sidewalk with a fat pole in the middle of it right before it dumps you onto the southbound lanes of Kedzie with no light, no stop sign, no bike lane, no crosswalk or pavement markings of any sort.
It appears that the path users have taken matters into their own hands (or feet or wheels) by having established a couple dirts paths north and southbound running alongside Kedzie from the path terminus.
I want to see a separate bike path that connects Ogden south of Western to the Ogden bike lane that starts north of Roosevelt. Right now you can ride on the side of Ogden, separated from the middle lanes, up to Western. Then you have to merge into the center lanes of traffic to get to the bike lane. Meanwhile, there's a lot of unused space to the right. This is stupid. Actually I want the whole side sections of Ogden turned into bike paths. Now it has light traffic, but you still have to worry that some driver will speed through there.
