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.

This sounds like a great idea! Putting bike lanes on side streets is a great way to easily make a safe and well-connected bike network. Side streets are much safer and enjoyable for cyclists. Plus, unlike main streets, taking away a lane doesn't create much congestion.
My only suggestion is that, because both streets next to Wood are northbound, this one should be going southbound.
