Linden Street Restriping Pilot
Summary
The city wants to convert Linden Street near John W. North High School from four lanes to two, with a center turn lane, bike lanes, and a striped school loading zone. It matches the general plan, cuts crash points, and the road still grades out at the best congestion level even with fewer lanes.

The council green-lit a three-year trial converting Linden Street between Chicago and Iowa Avenues from four lanes to two with a center turn lane and buffered bike lanes.
Mobility and Infrastructure Committee — August 13, 2026
Linden Street between Chicago and Iowa could shrink from four lanes to two with a center turn lane and buffered bike lanes on a three-year trial. Staff says the road only carries about 6,000 cars a day and had 36 crashes in five years, mostly from turning and speeding. Nothing changes until outreach wraps up and the City Council weighs in.
