Uptown

This week, the CTA released the final design concepts for a pedestrian path and other new amenities on a 1.3-mile segment under Red and Purple tracks, between the Lawrence and Bryn Mawr stations in Uptown and Edgewater. At the second of two community meeting this week, held last night at Truman College, 1945 W. Wilson, attendees seemed generally satisfied with the design.

There was a changing of the guard today in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood. The bicycle store launched as Urban Bikes, then transformed into Uptown Bikes, rebooted once again as Broadway Bikes, with longtime wrenches Leah Plummer and Nina Hazelton now the owners.

The proposal, being considered by local alders, would provide more affordable housing units, customers for local businesses, tax revenue, and CTA ridership.

This morning at 4:14 AM at Irving Park Road and Ashland Avenue, Streetsblog caught a northbound bus heading to the new corridor.

Enraged drivers assaulted CCM riders blocking intersections on the Near North Side and in Uptown, including shots fired. What's the right way forward?

The CTA provided details on why this particular route was chosen, how it will operate, and how many car parking spots will be converted to bus stops.

CDOT says building raised bike lanes is more time-consuming and complex that installing on-street bikeways, but raised lanes are becoming more common.

The route will run for about a mile north of Irving, opening up new commuting options and making it easier to access more jobs and businesses.

The transit agency held public meetings in Uptown and Edgewater, showcasing plans for natural areas, workout spots, plazas, and a skate park.
