CDOT Will Convert a Lane of Lower LSD to Bike/Ped Path During Flyover Work
The Chicago Department of Transportation announced that the Navy Pier Flyover completion will be delayed by another six months, to mid-2019. In response, the Active Transportation Alliance called on CDOT to convert the lane of Lower Lake Shore Drive nearest to the Lakefront Trail to a temporary bike/ped path, separated from traffic by a physical barrier.
The department is actually planning on doing this, closing the easternmost northbound lane of Lower LSD in order to accommodate foot and bike traffic while a segment of the Lakefront Trail is closed for Phase III of construction. This stage of the project, which involves b
uilding a new wider, cantilevered trail across the Chicago River, is currently slated to begin in spring 2018.

 2018 Tour Route: Froome Faces Steep Challenge
Chris Froome could face his toughest Tour de France challenge so far in 2018 after organizers on Tuesday unveiled a route and format that is potentially unfavorable to the reigning champion.
The race, which starts on the island of Noirmoutier off the Vendee coast on July 7, lacks a long, flat individual time trial where four-time winner Froome often pulverizes opponents.
Six mountain stages and four hilly stages are packed into the latter part of the Tour before it ends on the Champs-Élysées in Paris on July 29.
"It's different every year and it's difficult every year," Froome said.

November/December Athletes of the Month: Vachee Loughran and Alyssa Schneider
We know it's not quite November yet, but we couldn't wait to share these athlete's
amazing stories.
You may recognize Vachee as the winner of the 2017 Chicago Triathlon, with a time of 2:01:12. However, his triathlon journey started in 1995 when he was the janitor at an athletic club.
Alyssa was her high school cross country star at Bartlett, and just finished her first marathon at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. She was the third overall female Illinois finisher!
Think Vachee and Alyssa deserve to be nominated for the Athlete of the Year? Vote for them
