A case for separated bike lanes

ATA is actively soliciting input for a pilot bike boulevard.

Please check out this link and spend a little time thinking about it and send in your suggestion(s).

I would also love to hear people's ideas and reasonings for proposals as it would help me make up my own mind for the best choices.

Just noticed that your update notice of our meeting this morning doesn't include the time. Which is 10:00AM. Hope to see some of you soon.

Dear BBN Members-

Please help get the word out about the upcoming Kidical Mass rides for kids (that will feature recreational rides on our wonderful boulevards...) coming up this weekend and for the next 2 months...

For complete dates, times & details, see this link to the poster:

The BTA of Portland Oregon has hired away Rob Sadowsky and simultaneously announced the Portland city council has approved $20 million to pursue their Bicycle Boulevards project. Their plans may take $600 million to complete, but with the city's strong backing obtaining the federal funding needed to complete the project will be much easier.

I think we ought to issue a press release urging Chicago to stride forward with our own Bike 2015 plan and not get left in the dust by Portland.

Is there currently a website for listing needed bicycle infrastructure improvements here in Chicago?

If not, I suggest we start a page for this on the Bicycle Boulevards Now website. Then when we meet with CDOT or ATA we can suggest they monitor our page or we can periodically put in requests for improvements on the list and follow up with them on our requests.

I'd suggest we break it up into requests directly related to potential Bike Boulevard routes and a second section for anything else. Obviously, being a single-issue group the requests related to Bike Boulevards would be our focus.

Until we have a website page for this where we can fill it with richer content like videos, etc. I'm going to start a discussion Bike Boulevard Infrastructure Requests and I ask you to start listing your suggestions and requests there.

P.S. one of my goals is to have 2,000 members by August. So feel free to invite your friends - people who bike who are sick of being afraid, and people who don't bike because they're afraid.

This morning we had a 6-person meeting at New Wave Coffee. Energetic parents Karen and Jason took on preparations for Kidical Mass on Saturday. We also talked about what happened at the last MBAC meeting and our strategy. We still want to propose a plan for a bike boulevard network in Chicago because apparently CDOT has not picked out a street. We talked about other basic to-do's like adding everyone who's signed a sign-up sheet to our listserve and this Chainlink Group, and how we're probably ready to meet with Active Trans about how to be most effective and collaborate with what they're doing. This is a general overview - online discussion is welcome here.
