CDOT is planning safety improvements, including a new protected bike lane, on West Bryn Mawr Avenue from the Sauganash Trail to the North Shore Channel Trail. The 1.6 mile project will complete a critical link in the regional and local bike network, connecting two existing trails systems, local schools, NEIU, and the Bryn Mawr business corridor.

Vehicle travel lanes, parking, and bike lanes will be reconfigured to promote safer driving speeds and dedicated space for biking along the corridor. Intersections will also be upgraded to improve pedestrian crossings. 

• Create a low-stress biking connection between two existing trail systems, schools, businesses and other local destinations
• Right-sized travel lanes to encourage safer and more appropriate travel speeds
• Shorter pedestrian crossings and increased visibility for people crossing Bryn Mawr Avenue
• Concrete protected bike lanes to separate people biking from people driving and increase the safety of everyone 
• on the street
• Better organization of the street by clearly delineating space for all users of the street.
