Traffic Calming and Connected Bike Lanes on Montrose Avenue
On Montrose Avenue from Kostner to Pulaski there have been multiple documented instances of traffic collisions, complaints of reckless driving, and a continued high risk to residents of all ages in the neighborhood. Neighbors have filed multiple grievances over this stretch of road, especially the ongoing risk to our youngest and most vulnerable crossing Montrose in either direction on the way to school each morning.
Although a traffic study has been slated, we'd like to allot a portion of the neighborhood's menu money to implementing traffic calming solutions to this section of Montrose to ensure when recommendations come back from the Chicago Department of Transportation that we have the budget to act on them. Our hope would be at the bare minimum to have bike lanes and parking spaces painted on the street to prevent this stretch being used as a two lane highway, especially during the slated construction on the Kennedy. Bump-outs and protected bike lanes would be ideal.
