Work is in progress near 55th & Ellis, June 29.
Work is
moving along on
the much-anticipated safety enhancements for 55th Street between
Cottage Grove and Lake Park Avenue. The project primarily involves
re-striping and new signage to improve safety and accommodations for
pedestrians, bicyclists, and motor vehicle traffic. This is one of
several such projects being implemented by the Chicago Department of
Transportation. See the April 23, 2012 installment of this blog for
details.
Initial pavement markings show arrangement of westbound traffic lane, parking lane, bike lane and bus stop. Parking
lane is adjacent to traffic lane; bike lane is next to the curb.
