Bike lanes are a critical aspect of urban planning that promote sustainable transportation and improve cyclist safety on the roads. With the growing emphasis on reducing carbon emissions and promoting healthier lifestyles, the need for well-designed bike lanes has become increasingly important in cities worldwide.
Petitions under this topic often advocate for the expansion of bike lane networks, the implementation of protected bike lanes, and improved infrastructure to create a safer environment for cyclists. For example, a petition calling for the addition of bike lanes on major city streets has gained traction, highlighting the benefits of a more bike-friendly urban landscape.
By supporting these petitions and advocating for better bike lane infrastructure, individuals can contribute to creating more sustainable and cyclist-friendly communities. Join the movement to make streets safer for cyclists and promote greener modes of transportation in our cities.

I love visiting Beacon coming from Newburgh but over the years it has gotten worse for cycling over. It needed to provide a safer environment for everyone.
I live near industrial arts brewery and to get to Main Street is not pleasant/safe to walk or ride a bike so I opt to drive instead. I would much prefer not to but the infrastructure is not in place to support neighbors on this side of town.
I would like to ride my bike safely around Beacon for grocery shopping, errands and simply exercising. At this moment it is not safe, please make bike infrastructure available
I work as a teacher in this ward and often both bike and drive down Armitage on the way to and from work. A bike lane on Armitage would be a huge plus for road safety for bikers, pedestrians, and drivers. Bike lanes make our streets safer for all!
CDOT just resurfaced Armitage, with literally zero improvements for cyclists. Mind blowing, because so many people bike and scoot in this corridor. Its very dangerous to have traffic on your left, and parked cars on the right, waiting to door you.
Alderman Knudsen, stop ripping out bike infrastructure (Dickens Greenway traffic diverter). Make this a safe place to walk and roll!
People in the Netherlands and Paris have reported experiencing a difference in air quality since CO2 levels have decreased, according to studies. People report feeling happier and healthier. What relevance does this have to the petition? Okay, everything. Our country must prioritize our overall well-being, including mental health. The cheapest approach to improve our health is through exercise and cycling. Minnesota is the best cycling city, and Chicago needs to catch up. Cycling can help people of all backgrounds throughout Illinois, not just Chicago. It's time to make a shift and help each other out. It begins with projects such as this petition.
I live on the corner of Armitage and Hoyne. Hit and runs occur on a monthly basis. Shout out to the people who are calling on the city to do something about this!
I bike to work on Armitage every day! There's so much to watch out for and react to, that any additional bike lane protection could save my life some day.
I ride my bike everywhere. I do my best to memorize the best places to hop on and off sidewalks, and the roads to avoid. If Armitage was even 5% safer for those of us who commute on pedals, it would be easier on our whole part of town.
Late 2023 I was riding my bike in a BIKE LANE and was hit by a car not paying attention. It’s ridiculous how it’s sometimes more logical to ride in the middle of the road where people can see you instead of in the gutter on a city street. People have a narrow focus on what is around them and the safety on our streets is the lowest priority by far. How many red lights or stop signs do people witness cars ignoring and blow through.
It’s frustrating but with how populated Charlotte is, it’s difficult to manage.
