It is a very good point and seems to be a lose-lose situation to almost everyone.

So, as the emails suggests and if you’re a resident of Chicago,  contact your alderman and let them know that appropriate replacement bike parking provisions are needed. Unanimous “rock star parking” for all cyclists is not the goal here, but just enough to fill the void that meter-less streets will create.
