The Active Transportation Alliance has just announced this year’s Open Streets event, scheduled for August 1. This year, the plan includes anĀ unbroken string of pedestrian and bike friendly community events starting in Logan Square to the north and going all the way down to Little Village. (Some of my hardcore cycling friends like to propose that a major Chicago street become a car-free passageway. This event is a kind of preview of what something like that might look like, but with lots of activities like classes, performances, music, and more.)
