What the actual ordinance says - temporary removal during construction of phase II (East and South Towers). Quote from Par. 22 of the Developer's Statement attached to and made part of the amended PD ordinance:
"Sub-Area B Applicant commits to provide and fully-fund the following infrastructure improvements prior to issuance of the final occupancy certificate for Phase I:
• Temporary removal ofthe barrier protected bike lanes on Kinzie Street, extending from Milwaukee Avenue to Dearborn Street, and the temporary provision of a barrier protected bike lane system on Grand Avenue, Well Street and Illinois Street, as follows:
o An eastbound and westbound barrier protected bike lane on Grand Avenue from Milwaukee Avenue to Wells Street,
o A westbound-only barrier protected bike lane on Grand Avenue from Dearbom to Wells Streets,
o An eastbound-only barrier protected bike lane on Illinois Street fi'om Wells to Dearbom Streets, b An improved bicycle accommodation on Wells Street for cyclists travelling between Grand Avenue and Illinois Street,
o The temporary provision of this barrier protected bike lane system on Grand Avenue, Wells Street and Illinois Street must be complete prior to the temporary removal of the barrier protected bike lanes on Kinzie Street, extending from Milwaukee Avenue to Dearbom Street and all such bike lane provision and removal work will be the responsibility of the Sub-Area B Applicant."
Sub-Area B Applicant is the Wolf Point Development team who agreed to temporary removal in discussions with the stakeholders. Reilly is taking liberties when he implies permanent removal to Grand because of density of the next 2 towers.
