I have been tossing around the idea of developing a Northwest Suburban Bike plan that would help link the developed village downtown districts along the Metra Northwest line.   I’m still a few years off of my masters project, but I’ve decided to start gathering information and build a foundation for my future project.

The ultimate goal is Chicago to Barrington, safely and efficiently.  Along with providing an overall framework so villages can make bicycle infrastructure choices so that they link up with other villages efforts.  Spend the money in the right place and encourage suburban connectivity.
