Main Street Bikeway

ETA is supporting, with local 2nd, 4th, and 9th Ward neighbors, a two-way bike path and pedestrian improvements along along Main St between the Channel and Ridge Ave- connecting Skokie, Crown Center, Washington Elementary, Main-Dempster Mile shops, and existing bike lanes along Dodge and Asbury.

Conditions on Main St today are hostile to vulnerable road users, encouraging car use and speeding. A lack of dedicated space for cycling, and missing or inadequate sidewalks and crosswalks increases the risk of injuries or fatalities (see video).

Capital funding has been allocated for changes to Main St, but has been delayed for years. We need your support to get this project prioritized in the 2026 Budget.
