Priorities
It doesn't seem to be the free flow of traffic - you know, commerce, trade, buses and people actually trying to get to work:
The bike lane is plowed, but the traffic lane isn't. Thank goodness Rahm took out a full lane of traffic against the curb where plows might be able to actually remove snow from the roadway and give it over to the bicyclists who are nowhere to be seen during another sub-freezing day.

When the plow does come, it’s gonna push all the snow onto the already plowed bike lane. Genius move.
Same problem in other cities.
One mayor is known as Bike Lane Bill.
Only a mental, democrat voter, or a complete cheap ass would ride their bike in a this weather. But don't put it past a Rahm supporter to
Do it
An important somebody's connect must be delivering by bike...just say'n....
Maybe Paul Vallas will really run and stomp his pussy ass out of town. Imagine Rahm trying to live here without having bodyguards? Would be kind of funny...don’t think that the other politicos wouldn’t vote to remove his perks if he got voted out. Something big is coming to Rahm, and when it breaks, insiders are going to be coming out of the woodwork like they did in Harvey Weinstein scandal to feed him to the dogs for good.
Vallas has kids on the force, too. So he can’t be all that bad, right?
Take a 4 lane street and reduce it to 2 in a traffic snarled city (4800 to 5200 Broadway and 1600 to 2000 Lawrence ). Put planters in the median and swell the corners so traffic can't get by. Install a blended street scape for total confusion ( 1000 to 1200 argyle)
. Now realize that this isn't just going on in Chicago ...... it's nationwide.
What gives ? Who thinks this is a good idea ? What's the point of all this idiocy ?
Looks like the bike path has been SALTED, not plowed.
He’s a dumbass. I thought Daley was bad....
I have been driving Elston ave a few times a week and at different times, from Elston & Milwaukee to Armitage and have yet to see even one bicyclist. What a waste of money putting those lanes in.
So glad we moved out of Chicago....
Unbelievable!
Rahm's "Chicago values".
Plow went down my street twice without the plow down. Wtf is up with that?
Shithole
Fuckin asshole. This used to be a great city.
Bizarro World.
Vote the mayor out vote Republican
Progressives vote democrat, immigrants vote democrat, who pays, we do. Our property taxes are gonna go thru the roof next year.
Not only is the Bike lane clear, It looks SALTED too, whilst the street, not so much....
Bicycles which probably represent less than 1/10th of 1% take up 50% of the roadway. This represents the whole community HOW???? Any Police Officers that don't vote should be horse whipped.
Crazy, but, typical. Do a lot of illegal aliens ride bikes? The streets will be next but only because it will dawn on the democrats, car hackers need clean streets.
J.J.
I shoveled my own street. I vote they plow curb to curb.
Just drive in the bike lane. That's what I did.
It's all part of Rahm's plan to make Chicago the new New York. Dependant on Public Transportation, Taxi's, Uber, Lyft and bikes. F**k You Rahm. My 4x4 and I drive where ever we want. If you hit those white dividers they snap down then snap back up.
BLM = Bike Lanes Matter
Burke got the street clear in front of his house 10 times in two days
Live on the west end of 008, Tully from neighborhood got the streets and sans directors job, now the streets are worse than when williams was in what gives? Did tully tell rahm he would save money and use less salt and less drivers?
create choke points all over the city.
make drivers impatient enough to do
things they would not normally do.
like speed or test that yellow light.
that boulevard from logan square to MSI
was once a great escape route to avoid
traffic. not any more.
it's good for business, right rham?
The answer is obvious. The people trying to drive to work are GOP. The people riding their bicycles to peace circles and demonstrations democrats.

Follow the money for the bike lanes, planters, etc. Somebody got the contract to install them.

Communism like Cuba China. No cars just bikes. The rich will have private drivers.
BTW The nutcase who advocated/petition for shutting down lanes on Lawrence. Is a nut case from Minn. and hates men and Trump and is white as a white snowflake and super extreme. Doesnt care about elderly children or other. She rides a biike so should everyone!
Can't wait to leave this shithole!
Better not upset those bicycle-riding, police-hating, weed-smoking, Starbucks-drinking, minimun wage-earning, and anarchy-advocating Hipsters...
How abouth western ave after they took down the overpass ! The planted trees in the median south of the river all got takin out by a vehicle in one go when it went over the median, 4 trees goe like that, how much to replace ???
Look closely at picture. They can't plow because of light poles outlining bike path.
Better get used to driving on unplowed streets or get some warm bike riding
clothes. Don't you just love the new Shitchicago.
I have to laugh. So many cities with the bike lanes, for 3 bikes a week?
There's a park in Southern Wisconsin. "Bike Lane" signage, a white line and POOF, the lane ends, as street narrows. So, the signage, striping, labor for maybe 100 feet?????
Nuts?
Too, bicycles don't have to follow traffic laws, do they? (Sarcasm)
Stop signs, directionals, driving on sidewalks, signaling, etc.
NOT ILLINOIS. NOT LAW.
we need seiser as ward supt of the 41st ward he would get the streets plowed he knows how to run it.
Looks like a stretch of community boulevard.
Definitely not in the taxpaying 41st Ward where we get 1 truck - 1 pass no sooner than one day after any significant snowfall.
Bring back Cholly “Side Street Salty” Williams.
Google "vision zero ".
It will help to explain what you are seeing out there if you can stand all the u.n. buzzwords. Basically, the city traffic will move at the pace of the slowest commuting method to tottaly eliminate traffic deaths.
Hope you're not in a hurry.
Fucking Burke: piss on his grave
Nuts! I don't see any bikers! I see where their priorities are!
Thanks ! That will work for my Harley! Now I can drive my BIKE

The plows have GPS and it's viewable online.
So now they can 'prove' they plowed your street.
Twice!
And of COURSE the plow was down. (Wink, wink)

He's mulling it.
If he runs, I'm campaigning for him.
We have to get Emanuel out of here.
Anybody but Rahm in next election.

It's Agenda 21
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agenda_21
Make driving impossible. Drive you into public transit and give more control to the "planners". There is a method to this madness.
Probably has some hidden contract with his Divvy pals that these bike lanes will get top priority plowing.
Other than that - I do applaud people at least riding a bike to work in the winter. Even without a car, some 'communities' want to work and won't let anything stop them. Contrast this with people who has head pain, it too cold out, I ain't going to work in no snow!

I saw that! What a scam the gps shows them driving down your street but they have to work
Overtime because there’s still snow on the ground
This was a pretty good read. We too agree, if he runs we're pulling for him too!
If this socialism continues in America, the
bikers will have their own version of AAA
