Bike symbols painted

The bicycle lane symbol was painted on Morsay Drive on Monday. Rockton Avenue between Halsted and Riverside is next. All striping is expected to be finished by next week if the weather cooperates. The city will have a ribbon-cutting ceremony Sept. 19. I plan to be there because this is an issue I’ve been pushing for at least seven years.

An avid bicyclist once wrote to me and said that he thought the bike lane striping would be done when the Morrissey re-election signs went up. Well, striping will soon be done and the mayor will announce his re-election campaign today.

I never considered bicyclists as a voting bloc, but perhaps we are.
