Why can't we keep cyclists safe? Stats show 8% jump in bicycle crashes from 2021 to 2022 in Illinois. Metroplanners
Vehicle crashes involving cyclists jumped by 8% in one year, according to Illinois Department of Transportation data for 2021 and 2022.
"It's been devastating for our community as a whole," Batavia Alderman Leah Leman said. For White's close circle of family, friends and neighbors,"it's been really, really painful." "I think speeding continues to be a problem in this region in terms of people driving really fast and not able to react," said Metropolitan Planning Agency Senior Director of Transportation Audrey Wennink.IDOT spokeswoman Maria Castaneda said that"it's too early to be able to pinpoint a precise reason for the increase, though we know fatalities have increased almost across the board in all categories throughout the country.
Earlier on May 31, Leman witnessed drivers ignoring an adult cyclist at the same crosswalk."Multiple vehicles just blew through," she said. They wonder,"What if I get hit? What if I'm riding with my child and something happens?" Perez recounted.The Metropolitan Planning Council supported state Senate Bill 2278, which passed the General Assembly in May and awaits a decision by Gov. J.B. Pritzker. The legislation would ease rules requiring municipalities to design intersections at state routes that can accommodate the turning radius of a large truck.
That included deploying officers near St. Charles North High School to deter recurring crashes, he noted.
