They put a sign that partially blocks the east bound side of the 35th St bike lane for the entire White Sox season.
A sign placed sideways in a car travel lane would be inexcusable. Our database shows they’re common place for bike lanes.

Transit should be at forefront of any climate resiliency plan. Take snow. A bus is heavy and piloted by a trained driver; much safer in snow (or heavy rainfall) than the relatively light vehicles driven by civilians. Bus riders take vehicles off the streets, which speeds plowing, emergency response.

1. Continuous sidewalk/bike lane, sharp entrance curb for cars entering side street.
2. "Parking lane" alternates between car parking, bike parking, bus stop, trees. It's a multi-use lane, essentially.
3. Wide bike lane + mountable curb means a stopped car is no problem for this cyclist.
