What is Better Streets Chicago?

Founded in 2020, Better Streets Chicago is the result of everyday people looking for new ways to advocate for better walking, biking, and transit infrastructure. We’re looking to form a coalition of people across this great city who are ready and willing to roll up their sleeves, get creative, and get to work to seek meaningful change.

• Do you dream of a Chicago with safer walking and biking infrastructure?

• Are you sick of the bus getting stuck in traffic?

• Are you frustrated by the slow pace and high cost of infrastructure improvements?

Join us as we create better and safer transportation infrastructure in Chicago! 

We firmly believe that change doesn't always require big budgets and distant timelines. Using a combination of incremental tactical urbanism, rider outreach and relationship building with local leaders, we plan to prove that improved transit infrastructure can be more easily accomplished, more popular with the public and more affordable than the city believes.
