We are deeply saddened by the loss of our beloved colleague, Riley. He was a cherished member of CDOT's Complete Streets team and a dedicated public servant committed to making Chicago's streets safer and more accessible for everyone. He will be greatly missed.

CDOT lost the best of our team yesterday. We're heartbroken. In memory of Riley O'Neil, please refer to these bike racks as "Riley Racks". He led Chicago's bike parking program for several years. Our hearts are broken but we want to make sure his legacy lives on 💙🚲

Check out the transformed S. Indiana Ave, 31st–55th. This street regularly saw unsafe speeding, with some drivers exceeding 70 MPH. Now, traffic safety improvements have led to safer speeds, shorter crossings, and a more comfortable corridor for all users. #bikesafetymonth

46% decrease in traffic fatalities since 2021. And since I took office, 100 miles of new bike lines and 69,000 new trees planted.

Check out CDOT’s newly published case studies looking at economic trends before and after bike lane installation. 🚲 Findings show most economic indicators were either positive or neutral, with more people biking and significant safety improvements. api.chicago.gov/filenet5/servl…
