Associated Press | It’s walk to work day in Chicago and for once the weather is cooperating. The Active Transportation Alliance is urging workers to hoof it to the office as a more healthy and environmentally friendly alternative way to commute.
The Chicago-based group set up meet-up sites at several CTA stops to encourage riders to get off and walk the rest of the way to work, or to an 8:30 a.m. rally at Daley Plaza. With temperatures expected to reach into the 70s by afternoon, walking home might not be a bad idea, either.
I took the bus today [u]specifically[/u] because the group is promoting walking. I’m no sheep! Besides, I’m in a hurry and the last thing I need is a bunch of rookie walkers getting in my way.
