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.

Last night, the advocacy organization hosted a gathering to encourage local residents to advocate for the bike lanes.

Judge was at least the fifth pedestrian to be killed by a hit-and-run driver in Chicago so far this year.

The near-panoramic views from this 13th floor venue are sure to delight anyone with an interest in urban planning.

To further check the community's pulse on these proposed changes, I dropped by the crossroads to buttonhole people during the evening rush.

Last night some 90 residents turned out for a community meeting where the Chicago Department of Transportation presented plans for short-term, forward-thinking improvements to the intersection that will make it safer for all road users.

One neat trick could go a long way towards solving the traffic problems at Wicker Park's complicated six-way intersection.

In response to the Hopkins-ordered bike sting and other ward transportation and planning issues, local urban planner and mother Lindsay Bayley sent an open letter to the alderman this week.

Update 5/30/18, 2:15 PM: Today Alderman Hopkins provided documentation that indicates that he asked the 14th Police District to hold a targeted enforcement event on January 19, 2017, to ticket motorists for dangerous driving, but the police took it upon themselves to focus on ticketing bicyclists instead.
