<p>When the Halsted lanes were initially striped, there were many bollards between 26th St. and Cermak, including the bridge.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Most were hit by cars. Some were removed for winter snow removal and then never replaced.</p>

<p>Stripes and bollards - that's an encouraging bit of news.</p>
<p>Being proactive and thanking Alderman Solis is a great idea!</p>

<p>update on Loomis: northbound Loomis is almost entirely bollarded between Eleanor and Cermak: this is GREAT NEWS and is a game changer for my commute.</p>
<p>Encourage all of you who may have been avoiding it to return! especially since the timing coincided with the addition of back to school traffic - which means that car traffic has been backing up a lot more than usual - which makes me a little scared that the drivers of those cars will blame it on the reinstated bike lanes and share…</p>

<p>still no progress on the metal plates over the bridge, hopefully that comes soon for those of us with skinny tires!</p> Terrific news!

<p>Terrific news!</p>

<p>I rode Loomis last weekend and thought it was great. It was a low-volume time for traffic, though.</p>

<p>No plates on the bridge yet, but this morning we were super happy to find that after two+ years, the striping is finally happening! And while our data is anecdotal, so far, the drivers are respecting the lanes.</p>

<p>I don't understand why it's taking so long to place non-skid metal plates on the Loomis bridge. I've been asking for 2 years and keep getting different answers. I was told at the Mayor's Bicycle Advisory Council meeting that they "no idea" when this will occur and "we will need to wait until they do work on the bridge".</p>
<p>It appears that improvements go to the northside while the city 'punishes" the southside. …</p>

<p>I pinged CDOT via twitter (again) this week and got a response. It sounds a lot like the response from March of 2016, but perhaps this time it is true?</p>

<p>The lanes have not faded, the street was resurfaced last year.</p>
