We've scheduled a Beverly neighborhood meeting to add another opportunity for public input on the south side.  Please join us on Tuesday 1/17 at Ridge Park fieldhouse, 9625 S. Longwood Dr., from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. 

On Wednesday 1/25, you can attend the south side meeting at Woodson Regional Library, 9525 S. Halsted, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., with a presentation at 6:30 p.m.

Anyone is welcome to attend either meeting to more information about the project and offer your ideas on where you'd like to go by bike, and where you'd like to see bike lanes (protected, buffered or regular) and bike boulevards.

Thanks to the folks who came to Tuesday's meeting at Ridge Park.  To those of you who weren't able to attend, I hope you can join us at Wednesday's south side meeting.  This one will include a presentation.

Please join us at tonight's Streets for Cycling meeting.  There are plenty of areas that could use your ideas for improvement.

We've developed a preliminary set of ideas for bike boulevard/neighborhood greenway routes.  Please visit this page to read more about the concept and take a pair of brief surveys to help us prioritize our recommendations to the city.

These routes could be especially valuable to those of you who ride with young children and to those hesitant friends and family members who you try to persuade to ride with you, but who are afraid of traffic.  The boulevard/greenway concept is aimed at creating safer routes where they can ride.

Please share this page with other cyclists you know who ride in our area of the city, and people who might want to ride on our neighborhood streets if they felt safer doing so in traffic.

Have you taken the new bike lane survey yet?  We could really use your input on this.  

Please respond by Wednesday afternoon 3/8 if you can, otherwise ASAP.  The boulevard/greenway survey mentioned in the previous post is still open, but only for this week.

Thanks!
