Just a few days after Alderman Smith announced the end of the pilot, the traffic calming treatment, which enabled safe, socially-distanced walking and biking in the roadway, has already been taken down.

The group has raised more than $80,00 for people who lost their bikes at protests, and collected 42 cycles at a donation event last Sunday to replace confiscated ones.

Some neighbors like the pedestrian-friendly streets, while others seem unclear on the concept, which indicates that more outreach about how Slow Streets work is needed.

The traffic-calmed corridor got great use and had an excellent safety record, but some drivers griped about having to adjust their habits, and some residents complained about the aesthetics.

After about two months of no work due to the city’s regulations on street vendors amid the pandemic, Logan Square resident Caritina E. is happy to get back outside.
