The Department of Transportation is proposing bringing a network of bike lanes to Portage Park

https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/sites/complete-streets-chicago/home/featured-projects-and-innovations/projects0/PortageParkNeighborhoodBikeNetwork.html

They are holding a community meeting to discuss the bike lane network at 6 p.m. March 5 at the Portage Park Senior Center, 4001 N. Long Avenue.

Attendees are encouraged to register here

Posting things online isn't enough. Pro-car people actually show up. We need supporters of bike lanes to also show up.
