Chicago's Streets for Cycling Plan 2020 will guide the development of 150-250 miles of innovative bikeways—including protected bike lanes—that will make bicycling a safe and easy option for everyone in Chicago. CDOT held an Open House Dec. 10 and will hold five more public meetings and two webinars in 2012. In addition, CDOT has set up Community Advisory Groups in nine regions around the city to gather input for the plan outside of public meetings. Each group is led by volunteer co-leaders (see below) and is open to volunteers who want to get involved outside of the public meetings to provide more focused, in-depth input.
