<p>I rode over the Stone Free Bridge for the first time yesterday. I'd gone out to Evanston on the bus, but the bus wasn't due to the Purple Line turnaround for 30 minutes and I didn't want to wait.</p>
<p>The next project: the Weber Spur.</p>

<p>the bridge is officially open as of this morning (12/30)!!!</p>
<p></p>
<p>my daily commutes up and down the north shore channel trail have been forever improved.</p>
<p></p>
<p>the middle 6 miles of my 8 mile commute are actually entirely off-street.</p>
<p></p>
<p>what an excellent belated christmas present!</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>now, how do we get an under/over-pass for devon? (i'm a greedy man ;) )</p>

<p>We had to ride over a plastic barrier that was already laying on the ground early on Saturday as we were returning from our yearly sojourn to the Winter Solstice Percussion Concert and marked the moment of our first crossing of the bridge. When we got up to Howard Street we really should have ridden over the location of the wall he built to make it more difficult for his constituents to shop at the mall on the north side of the street in Evanston.…</p>

<p>I just saw that and rushed right over to post it, but you beat me to it. :-) I was unaware of the history. Unfortunately, I think it's often typical that people like Ald. Stone have to age out or die for progress to be made. </p>
