Ray LaHood stops in Logan Square to tout $20 million for Blue Line, bike share

Just got back from a chilly press conference at Logan Square's Blue Line stop,
where U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced a $20 million stimulus
grant to Chicago to help fix the El and expand the city's bike share system.

Read the transcript of LaHood's speech here.

Keep moving forward,

John Greenfield

There were a couple of little children who were very disappointed when they peaked through the crowd and saw ... the Governor. In a little bit, their sad faces were turned to smiles when they finally could see (and I think were photographed with) the Mayor.

Great news! perhaps we can now afford to have the bike share bikes built in Chicago?

4,000 bikes? That would keep the Bubbly Bicycle Works guys busy for a few decades.
