Notably, as you can see at the end of the video, access to the southern trailhead on Belmont is very poor. Now the next step is improving access to the River Run, so less confident bike riders and families with young children can get there safely and comfortably. The Riverview Bridge passes below Addison Street. It was already a very vibrant scene, and the The 312 may eventually become become as popular as The 606. These include basketball and tennis courts baseball fields, including a wheelchair accessible facility an outdoor pool playgrounds soccer fields a boathouse and The Garden bike park with dirt jumps. The 312 RiverRun (pink lines along river) allows you to travel car-free between Montrose and Belmont. There were lots of people strolling, walking dogs, jogging, and biking on the path system, past the many amenities in these green spaces and nearby. Judging from what I saw while riding the RiverRun for the first time in daylight this evening around 6:30, the network, which runs 1.5 miles between Montrose and Belmont avenues, is attracting new new visitors to California, Clark, and Horner parks. These are the Riverview Bridge, which takes trail users between the two banks of the river between Addison and Grace streets, and a just-opened underpass below the Irving Park Road bridge. The $18.16 million trail system is an example of cleverly leveraging existing resources in the form of existing parkland and short stretches of multi-use path along the North Branch of the Chicago River and connecting them via new pieces of infrastructure. Chicago’s new 312 RiverRun is greater than the sum of its parts. ![]()
