The Chainlink

Ghost Bike Organizers, Please contact me ASAP

Hey Ghost Bike folks here on the Chainlink!

As the temporary Bike Parking manager for CDOT, I've been contacted about the Ghost Bike at 933 N. Lasalle. The owners of the building have asked the alderman (Reilly) to remove the bike and the alderman's office contacted me.

I would really prefer to not be the remover of the bike, but I am happy to help. If we remove it using city crews, it will go to Working Bikes.

My email address is charlie.short@activetrans.org or cdotbikes@cityofchicago.org or you can call my office at 312.744.8147.

My understanding is that this man was also an eyewitness to the dooring of Neill Townsend, or so another neighbor/witness told me when I was at Neill's vigil.

If I recall this crash, the driver who caused it lives right there or very nearby.  I don't condone their actions and don't want to see it removed, but if I lived there, I wouldn't want to see a ghost bike for a fatality I caused in front of my house every day.

Look up 933 N. LaSalle St, Chicago IL 60610 on google streetview.  His bike is there, locked to a sign in front of a residential building.

 

And not bothering anyone.

 

Clint was killed when he was doored on LaSalle Street.
