Dearborn Bike Lane @DearbornBikeLn
I’m a protected bike lane in Chicago NOW EXTENDED UP TO CHICAGO AVE. Puddled, potholed and kinda narrow but somehow always loved. Chicago, IL Joined December 2012-

One thing opponents of the new northbound @DearbornBikeLn on the Near North Side are right about: It's common for people to bike southbound on it. Why? 1. There's no direct SB protected lane in the area. 2. The Dearborn lane is 2-way south of Kinzie. The good news is... (1/2)
Yes I am popular 🥰
The extension of the @DearbornBikeLn is looking good! More work happening on the northern section, near Chicago Ave. Video below
According to a reader, @ChicagoDOT has added split-phase signals to @DearbornBikeLn at Ohio St. and Chicago Ave. "Both signals are up and running and the protected bike lane looks more or less complete.
It’s official: I’ve grown by half a mile! From Kinzie up to Chicago Ave (but only one way)

Gotta be real: as someone who depends on gig work via bicycle, the @DearbornBikeLn upgrades between Kinzie and Oak have been transformative. Some incredibly terrifying stretches of bike lane are now almost entirely clear of obstructions and truly feel dramatically safer.
The extension of the Dearborn separated bike lane from Kinzie to Chicago is looking good 🧵 1
Drivers can't understand the new lane markings on the @DearbornBikeLn
This, but both sides of the street, one direction each side, and reclaim space from cars to do it. That's my political platform.
Wild: There’s a raised crosswalk on the Dearborn protected bike lane near House of Blues to make sure PBL users slow down for peds, which is fine, but there’s no raised crosswalk for drivers. An off-duty cop in an SUV just killed a woman on the sidewalk near HOB Thursday.
More #FreshKermit on @DearbornBikeLn. 👍 x.com/michellestenze…
Really sucks that 16 people on the @TheChristkindl Nativity Committee feel the need to illegally park in the two-way @DearbornBikeLn How about using one of the empty CAR lanes?
Update on the extension of the @DearbornBikeLn ! 🧵 The bridge is open again for bike traffic for the first time in a LONG time and is as photogenic as ever, fresh paint and replaced flexiposts look nice
Interesting comment from Chicago's best-known theater critic. The growing protected bike lane network is making Loop streets safer for all road users. And the Goodman Theater has a raised crosswalk to help theater-goers cross @DearbornBikeLn safely! x.com/hedyweisscriti…

Yeah! Great #bikechi news. @DearbornBikeLn @activetrans @chi_streets
All hail the protected bike lane gods! You can now once again use @DearbornBikeLn to cross the Chicago River (and @ChicagoDOT is currently in the process of extending the PBL north of Kinzie to the Gold Coast.) 🥳 x.com/lynnbecker/sta… H/T @stevevance

Hey @ChicagoDOT - is the Dearborn bridge EVER going to be done? Impact on @cta buses and @DearbornBikeLn is a pain for so many. @activetrans @chi_streets @stevevance
I don’t know, anyone else have insight or updates? Just south of Chicago Ave

@CarolAMjoseth @UPS @DearbornBikeLn @CHI311 @ChicagoBACP & @ChicagoDOT it’s time to sit the fleet operators down (again) for a chat about Rules of the Road and the need to respect our bike lanes by using LOADING ZONES. @Andrefor40th & I want to pass an ordinance that would greatly enhance our bike lane enforcement efforts.
10 years ago today, the Dearborn protected bike lane opened. It involved converting a travel lane in the heart of the Loop, the first project of its kind in Chicago. A few more downtown PBLs have opened since, but there's still much to be done to make the CBD truly bike-friendly.

@CarolAMjoseth @amazon @DearbornBikeLn @bikelaneuprise Hey @amazonHelp - I’m here to help too! We have a time & date stamped photo of one of your fleet vehicles parked in a two-way bikelane. It will be forwarded to the Dept of Finance. As for those special licensing requests for your retail outlets? Sorry, currently out of stock.
@amazonHelp @CarolAMjoseth Tried this, @amazon. It didn’t work. Just tell your drivers to follow the law and stop endangering people. Be better, damn it.
I rode on the @DearbornBikeLn detour from Wacker to Kinzie today. I’m starting this thread though at Randolph just because its a nice photo.
🚧 On 6/13,work will begin on the Dearborn St. Bridge over the Chicago River. The bike lane on the Dearborn Street Bridge will be 🚫 and a detour will be marked. People biking will detour to a temporary protected bike lane on Clark using the Kinzie or Wacker protected bike lanes.
Rode the @DearbornBikeLn around 6pm and it was bumper to bumper cars in the bike lane from the river to Chicago Ave. 😡😤 Need to start recording this insanity. Who would be interested in a #justaminute human protected bike lane direct action here?
@bikelaneuprise @DearbornBikeLn I'm glad I waited to report to database, so I can add the afternoon obstruction. 🤦
