Wood St is a designated bike route in Chicago's bike plan. This proposal would upgrade bike infrastructure from Chicago Ave. to Ellen St. by adding protected two-way bike lanes for a full mile on this street. Wood would be changed from two-way to one-way (northbound) to accommodate these bike lanes and preserve residential parking.

Wolcott is a good option too and certainly if it came down to having better protection for the bike lane, then yes - it would be a better option. As a biker who frequently using Wood to get around, the central location of the street in Wicker and Ukrainian Village is ideal to encourage more greater bike use. I just hope that the perfect doesn't be the enemy of the good and this propose is shot down because of it; then we need to wait another 5 years before another effort is made to protect bikers on this vitally important route.
