The channel was dredged so that locks in Wilmette could be opened and allow water to push the sewage from the Chicago River through the Sanitary Ship…

great commute!<br />
yes. soundtrack, maybe some narration or car horns.<br />
kedzie is crazy. wish they'd make a kedzie bike lane where it's currently 2 lanes or 1.5 lanes. the kedzie corridor. not many cars there anyway.<br />
your video also gives me an idea...i think i'll video my commute everyday. and if i ever get hit, i'll have a little black box of evidence. :)
