I’m proud to announce that the good folks at the Active Transportation Alliance have begun offering copies of Carless in Chicago as membership premiums for anyone joining at the ‘Ascender’ level or above. ActiveTrans does really important work for Chicagoland, so I urge you to join. (Harking back to their origins as the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation, all members also get copies of their recently updated and indispensable Chicagoland Bike Map, now in its fifth edition.

Via their blog, the Active Transportation Alliance (formerly the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation) reports on their first committee meeting about revising the excellent and essential Chicagoland Regional Bike Map. They are also still seeking committee participants from all over the region to take responsibility for proofing existing bike routes and providing new information. Contact Carolyn Helmke for more details.

Open Streets 2009 Map

The Active Transportation Alliance has just announced this year’s Open Streets event, scheduled for August 1. This year, the plan includes an 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.)
