Chicago aldermen call out transportation dept. over Complete Streets, bike lanes – Center Square

Ald. Ray Lopez said with $3.6 billion going to CDOT as a whole, commissioners should focus on upgrading the lights so people could walk “without getting shot, mugged or killed.”

My village and the village next to mine have bike lanes everywhere. You can drive through either and rarely see any use no matter the time of day or the season. Colossal waste of our taxpayer money.

Are they building such things as a nostalgic reminder of years gone by, or are they doing it as a plan for the future? They don’t seem greatly popular in present times considering the heavy construction costs for what reality shows as limited good weather days available for their usage.

JB said there wasn’t a crime problem, didn’t he? Maybe everyone admitting what the truth actually is with respect to the Chicago crime rates would help everyone.

“… upgrading the lights so people could walk without getting shot, mugged or killed.”

That’ll also allow the thugs to see better.
