Atlanta Leaders Look to Chicago for Bike Lane Inspiration
Friday, September 18th, 2015
Numerous city of Atlanta officials joined Atlanta Bicycle Coalition on a recent tour of Chicago designed to provide insights into how to successfully implement bike lanes.
Chicago has risen to become one of the most attractive U.S. cities for bicyclers due to the city’s construction of a network of protected bike lanes. Mayor Rahm Emanuel pledged to build 100 miles of new protected bike lanes during his four-year term and make Chicago “the bike-friendliest city in the country,” according to PeopleForBikes.
