If you live in Chicago, please attend the march 5 meeting. We need to outnumber the anti-bike lane folks (blockclubchicago.org)

The Department of Transportation is proposing bringing a network of bike lanes to Portage Park

https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/sites/complete-streets-chicago/home/featured-projects-and-innovations/projects0/PortageParkNeighborhoodBikeNetwork.html

They are holding a community meeting to discuss the bike lane network at 6 p.m. March 5 at the Portage Park Senior Center, 4001 N. Long Avenue.

Attendees are encouraged to register here

Posting things online isn't enough. Pro-car people actually show up. We need supporters of bike lanes to also show up.

I want to see a skateboard pump track that connects throughout the entire city.

Remember to leave your phones at home, wear a mask, and bring a milk.
