Roosevelt Road Bike Lane Construction Kick Off

DNAinfo Chicago reports that a new two-way bike and pedestrian path will connect the Roosevelt Road CTA station to the southern end of Grant Park. The plan includes widening the sidewalks, planting trees, adding a paved walking path, building a canopy at the Roosevelt CTA station and painting color-coded path indicators on the street. "The idea is to connect people, to really feel like there's a connection from the station to the lakefront," said Bob O'Neill, president of the Grant Park Conservancy.
