Chicago's newest bike path, the Saugansh Trail, Valley Line Multi-Use Trail Project Completed Crews have completed work on the Valley Line Trail project. The one mile long, multi-use trail was constructed on a former railroad embankment located just east of Kostner Avenue between Bryn Mawr Avenue and Devon Avenue in the Sauganash community.

Also known as "Marge's Mile" after Alderman Margaret Laurino, 39th Ward, who will lead the ride and provide historical notes of interest about the surrounding neighborhood.

Bob,
That's neat. Time permitting I may be there. Are you planning to create an event (on CL) for it?
Will they also be talking about the Weber Spur trail that is in development? I read on Chicago Bike Blog that the RFP for this project is on the streets. Exciting!

Slightly OT: Invitation to a Bike Ride

When? Sunday, October 4th
Time? 10:00 AM
Where: South end of the Sauganash Trail,
http://tinyurl.com/mqgu5c
Bryn Mawr and Kostner Avenue
Host and mover: Alderman Margaret Laurino of the 39th Ward

Reason: to explore Sauganash and some history of the area (Ald. Laurino is a history major graduate of Northeastern)

REAL reason: to convince another alderman that bicycling is taken seriously by a lot of the city's residents!

It's a short ride, but everyone is invited so we can get a MASSIVE turnout, as many as possible, far more than Ald Laurino is expecting.
