surprised Bill from the Bike Box on Halsted and Clybourn.

CDOT, and ATA. H' and others sum it up as a fiasco. Dan has detailed
report here.
... How Risky is Bike Riding in Chicago? Ken writes that WBEZ's Curious
City asked, but didn't really answer, the question Wednesday night. A

launches a (hopefully) Gals-Only discussion of everything from sexist

Thank you again...
Today (8/6/13) is the day we get to officially open the three bridges on the GWT in Lombard! Here is an article from the front page of the Daily Herald (from the summer of 2000) about the initial efforts to improve the safety of the trails and pedestrian crossings at the dangerous intersection of Grace Street, St. Charles Road and the Union Pacific train tracks by the Friends of the Great Western Trails; http://www.friendsofthegreatwesterntrails.com/images/FriendsoftheGreatWesternTrailsonFront_page_of_the_DH.pdf
Thank you again to the taxpayers of DuPage County especially the residents of Lombard for their support of the 3 bridges on the Great Western Trail which will improve the safety and quality of life for many thousands for many decades to come!

Fwd: Google Alert - great western trail
This is small news (see below) in the world of climate change, Snowden, etc. but when government on the local (Lombard), county (DuPage) levels plus state and federal grants come together to build these bridges that will benefit the quality of life for many thousands I think it is great news to pass along.
Please keep up the great work and as always feel free to include the link for the website for the Friends of the Great Western Trails.
