There obviously more work to be done and I love that Chicago is so far ahead of so many cities when it comes to bicycle infrastructure.

Ok that’s great but that’s a weird reason to build bike lanes.
Chicago has a long history of segregation in the city. It’s worse than a lot of cities in the US. POC are leaving the city in droves because the city hasn’t well addressed the issues of the past. While I think wording it for pedestrian safety makes a lot of sense, this also makes sense in the context of Chicago
This. Chicago is super segregated even in 2023. This may seem like a weird reason to people who haven’t spent time the Chicago, but it’s a real thing.
While transit equity is valid, I would prefer if the answers to racism and inequitality was “reparations and the dismantlement of racial hierarchies.”
