CDOT plans to striped “dashed bike lanes” on Milwaukee between Division and North, where putting in conventional lanes would require removing dozens of car parking spots.
It wasn't crystal clear from the presentation earlier this month which "near-term" improvements are slated for construction this summer, so here's a recap.
While most of this stretch won't be getting bike lanes in the near future, a number of bike- and pedestrian-friendly changes are planned for later this year.
Construction plates have created a hazard for cyclists on the 1700 block of North Milwaukee, just south of the Milwaukee/Leavitt entrance to the Bloomingdale Trail.
Fixing the North/Damen/Milwaukee intersection, adding bike lanes on Milwaukee Avenue, and making the viaducts by the Clybourn Metra stop safer and more pleasant are all scenes we'd love to see.
