Southeast Side

Este proyecto de Calles Completas, o Complete Streets, incluye mejoras en el entorno urbano de Commercial sobre las calles 83 y 93, con mejoras adicionales en la calle 92.

The project would not only make it easier to get around the Southeast Side by sustainable means, but also encourage residents to explore Lake Calumet itself.

We cannot expect residents to take up active transportation when their environment puts them at greater risk of respiratory disease.

"This is just a caravan, it’s not going to change the world, but we hope we can at least begin to change this consciousness and to understand that we need to be working together."

The new cars will feature a mix of forward-facing and aisle-facing seats.

The campaign seeks to build the Southeast Side bike and nature space into a fully accessible 300-acre park with a perimeter trail, expanded singletrack, nine trails on the space's "Big Hill."

Transportation advocacy organizations and community groups have joined forces as the Coalition for a Modern Metra Electric, pushing for improvements to the commuter rail line that could lead to better job access and more economic development on the South Side. They want to see rapid transit-style train frequency, fare and schedule integration with the CTA and Pace, and – eventually – the extension of the line all the way to O’Hare.

John Jones, 48, died last Thursday, about a week after he was struck on his bicycle at the dangerous intersection of 79th Street, Stony Island Avenue, and South Chicago Avenue.
