We Need Your Support for Evanston’s Planned Chicago Ave Protected Bike Lanes!
Plans to extend the Sheridan Road Protected Bike Lanes south to Howard St are under threat. We urge Evanston City Council to continue the Chicago Ave Multimodal project, lest our efforts for a comprehensive complete streets network leading to safer roads and lower carbon emissions suffer a huge setback. Misinformation about the plan is being spread online, and we must unite as a community to show support. Here is how you can help:

An unreliable, unsafe and disconnected network for cyclists, pedestrians, and public transit riders encourages car use, leading to increased congestion, crashes, pollution, obesity and carbon emissions.
Since 2012, ETA has been advocating for infrastructure solutions to these ‘dead zones’ and ‘dead-ends’, in pursuit of a more equitable, sustainable, and economically vibrant community.
