Daydream

There are abandoned tracks along Bloomingdale Ave. from Ashland to Lawndale which I always thought would be perfectly converted to a bike trail. They are visible from the blue line and look like quite an eyesore from that vantage point which only led me to the daydream of an open bikeway.
Of course, I wasn't the first to think about it.
Here is a link to a WBEZ story about such a possible conversion, apparently many individuals and organizations are on board with the idea: story. Since I thought of the idea independently of this organization, I would like to take credit for it (I won't though).
