Good heads up for everyone Igz! However, I'll happily continue using my folding bike which is exempt from the blackout and takes up zero seats. ;)

I guess they're not having a bike corral that needs volunteers for this event. The last blocks of Jackson have been shut (along with the crossing at LSD the lake) for *two* weeks to get this set up. Just ruins my afternoon commute.

NOOOOOOOoooooooooo....crap....there goes my day. Was gonna use it to get to shave a buncha miles off getting up to Milwaukee.

Thanks for the heads up- would have been crappy to find this out while trying to board.

Really frustrating that this applies even to an outbound, 6am train.

so off topic, but the chairman resigned today. Maybe this blackout will cease in the future with a new chairman and board? I guess that's not off topic actually.
