Loop

Last week there were two nighttime robberies of bike riders on the Lakefront Trail on the Near North Side within two hours of each other.

The most common types of ride-hailing trips are short, downtown jaunts, many of which could easily be done by more sustainable modes.

While Loop Link was supposed to double bus speeds, that hasn't happened, partly due the lack of prepaid boarding and lane enforcement. But that doesn't mean the project is a failure.

The car-pedestrian crashes included 48 cases with incapacitating injuries, but there have been no media reports of serious bike/ped crashes in the ward. So why is Alderman Reilly focused on banning bikes on the riverwalk?

New green paint, a dedicated bike signal, and -- gasp! -- a bike lane on Michigan help facilitate the transfer.

After Streetsblog Chicago ran a post pointing out the dearth of east-west bikeways in the city, and another correctly predicting that that the Navy Pier Flyover completion might be delayed, a local transit planner asked us an interesting question.

The city held events to announce plans for improvements to two different historic Green Line stations: the Quincy stop in the Loop, and the Cottage Grove station.

A truck driver ran over and killed a 59-year-old man last week in the Loop, according to the police.

If all goes well, starting this weekend you’ll be able to walk most of the way from the Ogilvie Center to Michigan Avenue on a car-free, if somewhat circuitous, route. At a media preview of the final section of the Chicago Riverwalk expansion this afternoon, Mayor Emanuel said he’s confident that the new recreational space, which doubles as a corridor for walking and (cautious) biking, will be open to the public this Saturday.
