Yeah, it's not like the legality of it has changed by adding the white lines, bike-shaped markings, and bollards. It wasn't legal for motor-vehicles to over-take and pass on the right before and it's not legal to drive one in the bike lane now. Neither infraction is liable to get you a ticket or even noticed by the guys in the white & blue SUV's. They are busy looking for a doughnut shop where they can part out front in the bike lane themselves. <br></br>

<p>Kedzie is pretty well all lined up around Logan Square north of that. It's pretty nice <em>looking</em> (all shiny and new) although some of the lineage with the center yellow no zone and the bike lanes that get squished into the driving lane don't seem to make much sense. It's like the bike lane starts and stops every half block. In fact, it's pretty retro-logical if you ask me.</p>

Any new bike lanes are good to see. I'm beginning to like Rahm & Gabe more and more.
