<p>Thanks for your replies. I'll send to alderman for sure. Yes, it would be okay if right lane car turners obstructed that lane as we'd almost have arrived, like the lane at Damen and North facing north. As we approach Diversey we find ourselves squeezing in between car lanes and that part of the road has a strange bubble in it too.

<p>Emailing the alderman doesn't hurt. This is in Scott Waguespack's ward and his office is just a block away:</p>

<p>Both Diversey and Clybourn should have curb protected bike lanes in this area. Damen should have curb protected lanes approaching the intersections.</p>

<p>I'm not sure it would solve much. There's a bus stop at the corner, so you'd still have to deal with buses, and cars making right turns on to Diversey and Clybourn. There's a left turn lanes there, so to have a full bike lane they'd have to pinch it down to one through traffic lane, which would likely cause backups. Either that, or the cars would go ahead and use the bike lane as a right turn queue. I've seen that happen in other places, e.g. Orleans at Hubbard.</p>
