<p>Cheryl, there's a law banning riding on the sidewalk; would you propose banning headphones as well?</p>

<p>Ugh. I actually dropped my membership in Active Trans due to their promotion of that story. There are enough ways to point out conflict on the path without demonizing one group of users. And I agree, education and public awareness are key; so many users, for example, wear headphones and can't hear other users, so should be paying greater attention.</p>

<p>I feel depressed by this, even though I welcome the new infra. Because...instead of the public recognizing a good thing and doing it, we are at the mercy of a rich person. This is not freedom.</p>

<p>I'm hopeful that there will be a separate pedestrian bridge built at Diversey, since that is one of the worst places for conflicts on the north side of the trail. But I don't think anyone has seen the plans yet, so we may have to lobby for it.</p>

<p>This is great news. That being said, I am tired of hearing in the press releases how a cyclist plowed into the female runner. The full story is that the crash happened as the runner made a u-turn at the Diversey Bridge without adequately looking. In an interview last year, she admitted she saw the first cyclist but not the second. (The cyclist that did hit her did not stop - not good.) My point is even with the separate paths, there will still be points of conflict where all trail users…</p>

My point is even with the separate paths, there will still be points of conflict where all trail users will need to look out for each other. There needs to be an educational campaign to get runners to look and cyclists to signal before making any turns on the LFT.</p> 2018 is also when the Navy Pi…tag:thechainlink.org,2016-12-21:2211490:Comment:10339232016-12-21T15:12:23.848ZJoe Guzzardohttps://thechainlink.org/profile/JoeGuzzardo
<p>2018 is also when the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.navypierflyover.com/flyover-construction/" target="_blank">Navy Pier flyover</a> is planned for completion. That, plus Griffin's generous donation, and we're talking about 72 million dollars in improvements!</p>

<p>Merry Xmas!</p>
