Air and Water Show weekend. The Trail will be very hard to use this weekend due to the heavy traffic and set-up associated with the show. At the same time, if you are coming to the Lakefront to watch the show, riding your bicycle instead of driving is usually a great way to navigate the traffic.

The construction on the Lakefront Trail between 41st Street and 45th Street has created two cuts in the Trail pavement. The cuts have been filled in with gravel but some of the gravel has now worn away causing uneven Trail surface. We are working with the Park District to get these re-filled in until they can be repaved. Please be cautious in this area.

High winds are driving the waves over the Lakefront Trail in several places this Thursday night. I rode north from Illinois to Ardmore around 10:00 p.m. and was washed over by waves twice (up past my knees with the backwash) at the Oak Street Bend. The area just south of Fullerton is also washing over the trail. There is even some water on the Trail north of the Theater on the Lake!
There is a lot of debris on the Trail in many of the areas in which water is present. Bloweing sand is also a problem between North Ave. and Fullerton.
Please be careful of possible left over debris on Friday morning in the case that waves have subsided but the Park District may have not have thoroughly cleaned the Trail.
On the positive side, restrooms are now open along the Lakefront Trail. My understanding is that the designated date in the contract for the restrooms to be officially open isn't until May, so kudos to the Park District for making this happen this early in the year!
