May 13: Treasured Chicago Destinations by Foot, Bike, and Public Transit
Part of the Creative Living in the City Lecture Series. Free and open to the public.
Ever wanted to escape for a walk in the woods, but couldn’t figure out where to go or how to get there without a car? In a city with a million carless residents, you’re probably not alone. The Chicago region is filled with exciting places that you can explore by bike, by foot and by public transit. As warmer weather approaches, learn what the region has to offer and how you can get there before you strike out on your summer day trips. You won’t need a car to reach these treasured places, from calming parks and forest preserves to historic neighborhoods.
Erma Tranter, President of Friends of the Parks, will offer a visual tour of great parks you can escape to by public transportation.
Jason Rothstein, author of Carless in Chicago, will offer tips for your carless explorations and suggestions for some other easy-to-reach destinations.
