Local lawmakers back bike lane legislation
A piece of state legislation pertaining to bicyclists’ rights on the roadway was discussed at a recent Naperville City Council meeting.
House Bill 2454, which is working its way through the General Assembly, was discussed during the public forum portion of the city council’s March 3 meeting. At its core, HB 2454 states that bicyclists are an “intended user” on all roadways where ridership is permitted.
Local state representatives Maura Hirschauer, who introduced it, and Janet Yang Rohr are in support of the legislation, though Naperville staffers have expressed opposition to it as it would increase the city’s liability and risk if the bill were to become law. Councilman Ian Holzhauer asked city staff to get a deeper understanding of why the lawmakers are proposing the bill.
