This is a new discussion based off of one of the threads of conversations in the discussion "Bicyclist killed at Oak & Wells Friday AM". Some folks were on board with the idea of holding a memorial on the morning of Friday, October 19th around the time the accident occurred, which would create the opportunity for it to serve as a chance to raise awareness about dooring and sharing the road at a high traffic time. Several people made good suggestions there. They are copied and pasted in a reply below.
If you have any suggestions or you're willing to help out, please comment here.
Once details have been worked out, I'll post it as an event.

Would it be possible to get a ghost bike ready in time for this memorial?
Does anyone know who designed the NYC sticker? I'm curious if they'd send over an EPS or other vector graphics file?

Or post on cars? Maybe that is too annoying to get the point across.

Do "watch for bikes" handouts already exist? (Active Trans?) It might be nice to hand something out to passers-by.
NO not to post on cars.
But to have it as design to use for any printed materials. Perhaps Chicago can join New York and get that logo recognized by more people.
I've also made this graphic my icon profile across many social media sites. It's not a bad way to introduce this concept to your friends and circles.
Maybe we should also put flyers up all along the routes on this map where the most doorings occur:

All month.
Those stickers look great.
I'd be willing to put flier's rubber-banded on doorknobs of houses in my neighborhood, or on cars or whatever. Kinda like those annoying shitty food menu one's but for a good cause.
