Lakefront Trail

Several cyclists have been approached from behind on the Lakefront Trail in Kenwood, pulled off their bikes and robbed in early April.

It's vital to always consider whether we are making room for others as we ride.

This latest case is yet more evidence that additional enforcement is needed on the drive.

According to police, an intoxicated motorist careened off the drive and onto the shoreline path early this morning.

The trail will be closed from Berwyn to Ardmore for a widening project until mid-August.

After many (one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine) meetings the first phase of what will probably be a decades-long process of the complete reconstruction of North Lake Shore Drive took place yesterday afternoon. This meeting was the most straightforward as the elements considered had already been narrowed down and because most attendees were repeats and familiar with the meeting's format.

The North-Oak plan includes a new concrete walking path by the Oak Street underpass.

The collision, which critically injured the driver, was at least the third crash along the south Lakefront Trail within a few months.

As we close out 2017 here at Streetsblog Chicago, we thought we’d celebrate the upside of a generally rotten year in the United States by highlighting some of the more positive things that happened in Chicago transportation in 2017.
