The fact that the two-vehicle crash that took the life of Riley O'Neill happened in a bike lane next to a CPD station is unbelievably tragic. Any analysis of this preventable crash must include the presence of a giant semi-truck on a narrow stretch of Halsted Street and why Chicago is allowing this dynamic.
My most sincere thoughts and prayers go out to Riley's family, friends and co-workers at CDOT. Just heartbreaking. Rest in peace, Riley.
