The weather forecast is for warm weather through the weekend.  There are NO PARKING signs along Dearborn for a period from 9 p.m. tonight through 6 a.m. Monday.  I hope this is a sign of good things coming to Dearborn over the weekend.

I might have to go downstairs just to see the signs!  Keeping my fingers crossed.

Lee,

Don't do twitter and don't do facebook, but I hope Active Trans will pass on that even the dinosaurs are very happy about this and express thanks to all who are making it happen.

Lisa -- We'll be sending out some communication Monday with other ways to send thank-yous by email and phone. I'll be sure to post that on Chainlink too, but if you're not on our Neighborhood Bikeways Campaign list, I'd encourage you to sign up here for those kinds of updates: http://www.activetrans.org/bikeways/

Great news! Are #hashtags case sensitive? I've been using #bikeCHI for a while now and here I see it as #BikeCHI.

thanks
