Aldermen on a Joint Committee of Economic, Capital and Technology Development and Pedestrian and Traffic Safety approved a scaled down pilot program for free floating cars spearheaded by Ald. Proco Joe Moreno (1), O2017-8622. The pilot will bring 400 of the cars to Chicago streets. While the hope is to reduce congestion and private car ownership over time, two North Side aldermen suggested it would be a “nightmare” on already-crowded residential streets.
