    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 5, 2014 CONTACT: Mayor’s Press Office 312.744.3334 [email protected] Pete Scales, CDOT (312) 744-0707 [email protected] MAYOR EMANUEL ANNOUNCES CITY REACHES HALFWAY POINT OF 100-MILE GOAL FOR PROTECTED BIKE LANES BY 2015 Next 20 Miles Installed This Spring; 30 More Miles in Design Phase Mayor Rahm Emanuel today announced the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) is halfway finished with the plan to install 100 miles of protected bike lanes by 2015, and is on track to achieve that milestone by early next year. “Improving our bicycling facilities is critical to creating the quality of life in Chicago that attracts businesses and families to the city,” Mayor Emanuel said. “We are making Chicago the most bike-friendly city in the United States.” Twenty more miles of protected bike lanes will be installed this spring and summer, with the remaining 30 miles in design phase and planned for installation later this year and early 2015. In 2013, CDOT installed 31 miles of new or restriped facilities, including 19 miles of protected bike lanes, bringing the number of protected bike lanes installed in Chicago since Mayor Emanuel came into office in May 2011 to 49 miles. Chicago’s bikeways now total more than 207 miles, according to CDOT’s report, 2013 Bikeways – Year In Review, which was released today. “Chicago is a national leader in building new and improved cycling facilities and setting a new standard for other cities to follow,” said CDOT Commissioner Rebekah Scheinfeld. “We are looking forward to continuing our bikeways construction efforts this summer to make Chicago the best cycling city in America.” Bikeways achievements in 2013 include: • Chicago’s first Neighborhood Greenway on Berteau Avenue • Bicycle-friendly treatments on three bridges • Installation of 12 bike corrals • 35,000 cyclists counted in monthly biking data collection events • Installation of 300 Divvy bike-share stations In addition to installing new lanes, maintenance of existing facilities continued as well.
