Year in Review

This year the city of Chicago failed to take advantage of the drop in traffic volumes to create pop-up bus and bike lanes on a widespread basis. Hopefully we'll see more improvements in 2021.

From Wilson station opening highs to disappearing Divvy lows, 2018 was a year to remember for Chicago transportation.

Despite Trump's threats to gut federal funding for transit, walking, and bike projects, 2017 was still as decent year for Chicago sustainable transportation, although it definitely had its ups and downs.

[The Chicago Reader recently launched a new weekly transportation column written by Streetsblog Chicago editor John Greenfield. This partnership will allow Streetsblog to extend the reach of our livable streets advocacy. We’ll be syndicating a portion of the column on the day it comes out online; you can read the remainder on the Reader’s website or in print. The paper hits the streets on Thursdays.]
