Post-mortem: why CDOT removed many of the flexible posts along the Kinzie lanes

It was a little mysterious when the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT)
recently removed more than half of the flexible posts (AKA bollards) that separate
the Kinzie protected bike lanes from parked cars and moving traffic. So I called
CDOT bikeways planner Mike Amsden, to get the skinny. He explained the motivations
for taking out the posts, and also pointed out a few recent upgrades to the street
I hadn’t noticed before:

Keep moving forward,
