CDOT said the historic, now car-free roadway was intended "as a community space where residents can stroll, bike, and enjoy culture."

Last Friday, the mobility justice nonprofit Equiticity held its first-ever "Creativity in Motion: The North Lawndale People’s Ride," a community bike ride focused on film and television. The ride began and ended at Cinespace, 2621 W. 15th Pl. in North Lawndale, meeting at 5:30 p.m. and departing an hour later. It’s a studio where several movies and shows have been filmed, such as the Chicago Med / Fire / P.D. franchise. The ride participants got to bike through Cinespace and passed the outside of the Firehouse, where Chicago Fire is filmed.

Streetsblog recently sat in on the course to see what it’s like.
