Chicago is preparing to begin construction on the second phase of a redevelopment project along Grand Avenue. Some businesses and residents have argued that the plan should be changed, but the city argues that it is too late. The next phase of construction will include protected bike lanes and bus boarding islands, while reducing traffic lanes and eliminating parking. One organization, Bike Grid Now!, is demanding a meeting with city leaders over the plan, arguing that it will negatively impact businesses and their neighborhoods. The Grand Avenue Committee has proposed alternatives, including a combined bus and bike lane like what is seen on Chicago Avenue.
