We're working on this first stretch and then will set our sights further north. -- Michelle StenzelBike Walk Lincoln Parkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901957031606116893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431360523191384388.post-87168546434745531092012-04-18T16:49:37.760-05:002012-04-18T16:49:37.760-05:00Why not improve more of Clark?

I say extend the protected bike lane all the way to Fullerton or even Diversey.Adam H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00931203956246901359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431360523191384388.post-57830732915610568032011-10-08T14:12:29.107-05:002011-10-08T14:12:29.107-05:00CiW, we agree that cars should not be zooming anyw...CiW, we agree that cars should not be zooming anywhere through our neighborhood, whether on Clark or on Stockton! Anyone who wishes to drive 40 mph should be using Lake Shore Drive, just yards away. We definitely would like to make sure there are design improvements on Stockton to make it safer for pedestrians, and we posted initial thoughts on that in July. We welcome you to add your suggestions for improving Stockton on that post. -- Michelle StenzelBike Walk Lincoln Parkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901957031606116893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431360523191384388.post-3720044899343457902011-10-08T12:43:46.792-05:002011-10-08T12:43:46.792-05:00I've never had problems biking on that stretch...I've never had problems biking on that stretch of Clark St...it is wide enough for everyone. My fear about slowing and "calming" traffic on Clark Street is that cars would just move over to zoom through the Park on Stockton. <br /><br />Stockton Drive is much narrower, with parked cars on both sides. But cars and buses now zoom up and down Stockton (and Cannon) all the way north to Diversey and Sheridan. We should be looking to "calm" traffic on these park roads first, before worrying about the 4-lanes of Clark St.Clark in Wrightwoodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431360523191384388.post-35656163185895548842011-09-25T08:09:36.310-05:002011-09-25T08:09:36.310-05:00Thanks, Aaron.

Yes, we've spoken with Alderman Smith and she's supportive of the concepts we presented, but of course we need to make sure the community supports it, and that all the details are carefully thought out. -- Michelle StenzelBike Walk Lincoln Parkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901957031606116893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431360523191384388.post-75089431985053309752011-09-24T22:11:57.873-05:002011-09-24T22:11:57.873-05:00Great post.

It would be perfect, calming traffic and providing safe passage through the area to the highly utilized Wells, Lincoln and Clark bike lanes nearby.Aaron Brownnoreply@blogger.com
