So I guess people in IL need a bif brother to ake sure they're safe
from even stepping into a pothole!! But they elected Osama Hussein as
Senator so it shows how smart they are!!!

Here's an idea for your bright leaders in IL--- Don't call or declare
any route "safe" . *Here in NJ using bike routes often requires using
roads to get to the next trail segment. *If someone gets hit they
arent likely to get anything from the state as they assumed a certain
risk by cycling on the street. *Lockers and such are a great idea
though!!!!

Not quite a year ago now, I attended a bikeway workshop for the City of
Elgin, IL:

Last night, the Elgin city council approved the reworked preliminary bikeway
plan, which apparently includes a lot of the suggestions from that workshop
(I missed the meeting, so I don't have the exact details in front of me).
The council approved it unanimously, but not before the liability boogeyman
was brought up again (thanks, Illinois Supreme Court!).

The "liability boogeyman" Kristian mentioned (with an appropriately
sarcastic nod of thanks to the IL Supreme Court) has little to do with
a cyclist being struck by traffic and everything to do with roadway
maintenance and design. Google "Boub VS Wayne Township".
