Bike Network

Last winter, the Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways create the O'Hare Area Bike Network Study to examine ways to create a more connected bikeway network in the communities surrounding the airport. The people working on the project include a steering committee and advocacy groups. Read Streetsblog's previous coverage of the project here.

On Sunday, as part of Streetsblog Chicago's Bike Lane Week 2024, I checked out a little project to create a more seamless transition between two segments of the Leavitt Street (2200 W.) Neighborhood Greenway side street bike route. North of the North Branch of the Chicago River, the route runs about three miles between Diversey Parkway (2800 N.) and Berwyn Avenue (5300 N.)
