With  the exception of the North Broadway stretch none of these will impact me in a big way. But good for the City and my felllow riders!  Still would like to see a safeway to go North from Merchandise Mart without cutting over to Dearborn.  Would love to see Orleans get a bike lane North to Chicago Ave...it's a gauntlet heading North with those speeding cars. Or else a protected bike lane on Wells going North..)

"The city plans to install 20 more miles of bike lanes this spring and summer as part of a continued push to make Chicago more bicycle friendly.

The Chicago Department of Transportation plan includes five miles of protected bike lanes, which are similar to the one found downtown on Dearborn Street. On the North Side, a lane is planned for North Broadway Avenue between Montrose and Foster avenues. In the Loop, Harrison Street will get a bike lane from Desplaines Street to Wabash Avenue. On the West Side, a lane is scheduled to go in on Lake Street from Austin Boulevard to Central Park Avenue.

In addition, the city plans 15 more miles of buffer-protected bike lanes this spring. The painted lanes are planned for California Avenue between Augusta Boulevard and North Avenue; Halsted Street from 26th to 31st streets and Stony Island Avenue from 56thto 63rdstreets, according to transportation officials."
