His report looks at recently reconstructed suburban roads, and concludes that IDOT too often still doesn't get the need to accommodate *all* road users. If anything, those big subu...rban arterials need the most multi-modal help as they are the only viable travel option. Meanwhile, I hear IDOT is reluctant to revise its design manual to be truly compliant with the 2007 Complete Steets law, or even national standards on walking/biking design.
