There are big plans in store, and we would like to be included in them as an ACCESS POINT for the Trail.
Current plans, though not final, DO NOT INCLUDE WEST BUCKTOWN as an access point. "Funding concerns" were mentioned as a possible impediment.
Please add your name to this petition so we can demonstrate how much we want the same access other neighborhoods will be afforded!
WEST BUCKTOWN WANTS A BLOOMINGDALE TRAIL ACCESS POINT TOO!
Please share this with any West Bucktowners (or others that live close by) who may want convenient access to the Trail as well? Thank you for your time!

I have been spending my evenings meeting with local neighborhood groups to discuss why we are being left off the transit map. The silence from the planning office is frustrating but your comments show exactly how many of us rely on these streets for our daily commute.

Seeing this level of support for a West Bucktown entrance is overwhelming. I grew up walking these streets and knowing we might finally have direct access to the trail feels like a dream.

literally just need one ramp. stop making this harder than it has to be.
please give us an entrance! i walk my dog every day and this would be a game changer for our block.
west bucktown deserves the same access as everyone else. dont leave us out!
Ridiculous to cut off local neighborhoods. We live right here but have to walk ten blocks just to get on. Fix it.
makes zero sense to exclude such a busy area. accessibility should be the whole point of this project.

FUNDING CONCERNS? What a joke. The city finds money for everything else but ignores the people actually living here.
