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.

My building's garage faces Wood one block north of Chicago Ave. This would force us to drive 1/2 mile around the block to reach Chicago Ave. Unacceptable.
Still do not understand the point of the proposal. Offset Milwaukee Ave or Damen Ave traffic? For such a small stretch of non-commuter based traffic, I seriously question the logic here. Would rather have 325K go towards pavement, potholes, and police.
I only see one garage that faces Wood so close to Chicago, and it's right next to Rice Street. You can just take that out, you'll be on Chicago in 1,000 feet.
