If Chicago gets the Olympic bid this October, we will potentially be able to boast of a world class, permanent indoor velodrome within the city limits. Unfortunately not everyone shares our enthusiasm for track cycling.
From Chicago Public Radio's coverage of a Chicago Park Legacy forum (full coverage here)
TRANTER: The legacy projects as they currently proposed are going to be harmful to the parks. A velodrome in Douglas Park - I mean who is going to use - number one, no one uses a velodrome in the city of Chicago.
There is a comment section for this piece.
Why not state your belief in person? There will be additional meetings (thanks Jeff for informing us):
Douglas Park meeting April 21 @ 5:30p.
Washington Park meeting is April 18 @ 9a.
If anyone knows the locations of the meetings let me know and I'll update the blog.
