Daley Hearts Bikes.










Mayor Daley proposes $40 mil improvement to Chicago's lakefront bike path, which would alleviate one of the worst pinch points along the widely used commuter and recreational corridor.

"Construction is planned to start next year. To pay for it, the city is now seeking an additional $13.7 million in federal highway money set aside for projects that reduce pollution by taking cars off the road, on top of $8.6 million received years ago for design and engineering work. The federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality program could eventually pay up to 80% of the cost."
