Rivi is a rare gem and a LOT of kids walk / bike there independently. Side walks and bike lanes would be a huge safety improvement. It would also greatly improve connections to the Towpath and the commercial node at Illinois and 56th.

My daughter rides her bike from 57th and Illinois to Rivi and shops at 56th often. It scares me to death.

My husband is legally blind and this intersection is a death trap for him to cross!

I often walk on Illinois between 56th and 58th St. and the area without a sidewalk is very unsafe due to the amount of traffic.

Yes, please! This has been desperately needed for a long time!

This is a busy intersection with cars, kids on bikes, pedestrians and canal walkers. It cries out for a sidewalk for those on foot. The intersection is also confusing for north bound traffic because 2 lanes become one going across bridge. Pancake collisions are inevitable. Please fix and protect pedestrians. Many times they are young kids. Thank you.

Our hiking group often hikes that route & would very much appreciate a safer option with a sidewalk!

I am a neighbor and employed at the Rivi. There are many families that walk or ride as the Rivi is fostering healthy habits and better fitness. This would help a lot!!

Long overdue, as is the reimagining (traffic circle?) traffic flow in this area, and the Kenwood, Westfield, 56th Street intersection.
