"On the west end of this proposal, in addition to the Saugaash trail, it's a mear 2,000-foot path to the new North Branch Trail.
This short path is unpaved gravel and blocked by a jersey barrier wall maintained by Union Pacific."

I wanted to share an article about a proposed project within the 39th Ward Participatory Budgeting, the Bryn Mawr Bike Lanes - voting opens January 31 and ends February 11.

Paint on the road surface doesn't really make a protected bike lane."
Bryn Mawr Bike Lanes - 39th Ward residents can vote until February 12, 2021
This item is on the City of Chicago's 39th Ward Participatory Budgeting, supported by the North Branch Trail Alliance (NBTA) of Greater Chicago: Bryn Mawr is a designated bike route, but it has minimal signage and suffers from chokepoints where cyclists, motorists, and pedestrians compete for space. Marked, protected bike lanes would increase overall safety for all. Bryn Mawr is critical to the Chicago Streets for Cycling Plan as it serves as the main link between the North Shore Channel Trail…See More
