“Olin Wilson-Thomas, a junior in high school, said he bikes to school everyday… and that he frequently sees cars parked illegally. ‘In the past couple of months biking to school I kept tally, 57 cars were parked in that bike lane… we need some concrete protection.’”

Illegal bike lane obstructions and the significant delays to complete streets projects jeopardize our public safety and climate goals. Evanstonians are sending a clear message: we need high quality, concrete protected bike infrastructure for our busiest roads, and it needs to be a priority!
