| Welcome to Chicago's
first website dedicated to providing information to the City's more
than 3 million pedestrians. Walking is by far the best form of transportation--it's
free, environmentally friendly, a great way to exercise, and a wonderful
way to get to know our many communities and your own neighbors. For
decades Chicago has been committed to providing the infrastructure
necessary to make any trip possible on foot. Today we look to become
a model for other cities--going above and beyond minimum requirements
and prioritizing the safety and accommodation of pedestrians. I applaud Chicagoans of all ages and abilities that leave automobiles behind on their daily trips to work, school, shopping, transit, and entertainment. I feel strongly that these pedestrians are better off for their choices--and thank them for the improvement in the quality of life of all residents that is the result of their actions. I hope you find this website informative and motivating. Thank you for your interest in making Chicago a first-rate city for walking. -Richard M. Daley |
