Adding painted Jersey walls to the new Logan lanes would offer real, physical protection for cyclists. That would be an even better tribute to the people who died while biking there.

Riding on Logan all the way from the east side of Milwaukee Avenue to Western Avenue in relative safety is "a truly liberating experience."

While the cross-street barricades seen on Logan Boulevard at California and Sacramento might be impractical at Fullerton and Kedzie, more traffic calming measures are needed to turn the Kedzie service drive into a true Shared Street.

Active Trans worked with the Logan Square Neighborhood Association and Port Urbanism to come up with ideas to improve walking and biking on the hazardous stretch of the boulevard near Western.

Active Trans, the Logan Square Neighborhood Association, and PORT Urbanism are teaming up to come up with ideas to make this key east-west bike and pedestrian route safer.

This is the time of year when the Chicago Department of Transportation hustles to get the last of the new bikeways installed before it’s too cold to stripe thermoplastic. Since the threshold is 50 degrees Fahrenheit, this week’s cold snap could mean the end of the construction season. Hopefully, this year, CDOT won’t attempt to continue striping after it’s too cold, which has previously led to problems with quickly disappearing bike lane markings.

A Chicago Department of Water Management crew was on Logan Boulevard today fixing a sewer collapse in the bike lane. We alerted the Chicago Department of Transportation and 32nd Ward Alderman Scott Waguespack last week about the hazard, just outside Xsport Fitness.
