A federal judge ruled in a class action lawsuit that Chicago’s failure to make its signalized crosswalks accessible to blind and low-vision pedestrians violated the Americans With Disabilities Act and Rehabilitation Act. Now it’s under a court-appointed monitor ensuring Chicago complies with a plan to fix the problem.

The Chicago Department of Transportation added 140 new Divvy stations with more than 2,000 new docks last year, along with expanding in-station charging for e-bikes and e-scooters, according to a news release.

At 130 years old, the Chicago Transit Authority's State/Lake Loop elevated station has had a good run, but that run is ending in January.

Starting Monday, Divvy will offer reduced annual membership costs to new and returning members, in addition to launching upgraded Divvy stations downtown to improve bike parking capacity, officials announced.

An additional 11 speed cameras have been installed near Chicago parks and schools, as the city aims to install a total of 50 new speed cameras this year, according to the Chicago Department of Transportation.

The order comes after a 2023 ruling in federal court that Chicago’s long-running failure to protect blind pedestrians violated the Americans With Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act, following on the heels of a similar ruling in New York City.

The statistics, compiled by the Chicago Department of Transportation by comparing 2021 crash data with information from the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office, are a key justification for members of the Chicago City Council looking to lower the city’s default speed limit from 30 mph to 25 mph.

The Chicago Department of Transportation is taking steps toward transforming an abandoned railway into what’s known as El Paseo Trail in Pilsen, reigniting a discussion about the fear of further displacement for the predominantly Mexican American neighborhood.

Designed to stop drivers from endangering pedestrians, cyclists and transit riders by parking and stopping in lanes designated for bicyclists and buses, the new initiative is set to last two years, and would target scofflaws downtown between the lake, Ashland Avenue, Roosevelt Road and North Avenue.

The final bit of work will take place Monday and Tuesday on the stretch between LaSalle Drive and Hollywood Avenue.

This week’s schedule of overnight lane closures is a repeat of last week’s as pavement marking continues on sections between LaSalle Drive and Hollywood Avenue.

Starting Oct. 14, only partial overnight lane closures are planned on DuSable Lake Shore Drive between LaSalle Drive and Hollywood Avenue. Here’s what motorists can expect.

Another week, another set of navigational challenges on North DuSable Lake Shore Drive as the number of lane closures increases to accommodate an ongoing resurfacing project.

The schedule of DuSable Lake Shore Drive closures the week of Sept. 29 will ping-pong between northbound and southbound lanes, and a half marathon on Sunday brings added chaos for motorists on South DLSD.

DuSable Lake Shore Drive overnight closures for resurfacing work will extend this week from Irving Park Road to LaSalle Drive in all southbound lanes.

The Chicago Department of Transportation is shaking things up and shifting resurfacing work this week to the stretch between Irving Park Road and LaSalle Drive. Lane closures start Sunday afternoon.
