Chicago To Upgrade All Protected Bike Lanes to Concrete by End of 2023

www.chicago.gov www.chicago.gov
Chicago will soon have more than 400 miles of on-street bikeways and off-street paths. By the end of this year, CDOT will have added more than 125 miles of new bikeways to the system since 2020, surpassing Mayor Lightfoot’s goal of 100 new miles in her first term.

America is not ass or lazy. We have a Suffern culture, part of which is industrialized. We built a car culture, the Netherlands not so much. We have lots of space most cities are < 200 years old, their spaces are are a lot older and smaller.
I had a girl in Antwerp 20 years ago. We ate at outside cafes built in the 1300, the streets were very small, but we could bike everywhere on designated paths. They also charged to use shopping carts, no plastic bags, way back then. But the rest of their lives was HIGHLY regulated by the government - where/ when you could work, high taxes, etc. (like what CA aspires to be).

Not a fair comparison, but we can and must do better.

But be careful of what you wish for.
