Bike Lane on Madison . . .

Looks like the westbound lane is continuing; new paint takes it over to the N/S Wacker intersection and hopefully over the bridge . . .

Would really like a North/South street with a bike lane.

Does anyone know how far west it will go?

Hopefully on and on and on. If CDOT can extend it through the city, Oak Park is planning on installing the suburbs' first cycle track come Spring-time. Beyond that Forest Park is in the process of approving a plan which would connect Madison Ave. to the Prairie Path via a bicycle route. From there you could get alllllll the way out to Kane County.

Now, I don't get out of the city much, but this is still a pretty exciting opportunity and would open up a lot of transportation options for people in the near-west suburbs which is pretty dern exciting if you ask me.
