The family of a bicyclist killed in Chicago is suing the city and Metra.
Nick Parlingayan, 22, was riding his bike under a viaduct in Irving Park last year when he was struck by a car. The suit alleges construction work created a hazard for cyclists.
On May 4, 2022, a hit-and-run car crash killed 22-year-old Nick Parlingayan on the city’s Northwest Side, raising safety concerns among other cyclists.
Plans are underway to boost the number of bike lanes in Chicago protected by a concrete curb.
After recent traffic deaths, including two toddlers, Chicago advocates are calling for citywide infrastructure that would prioritize the safety of pedestrians and cyclists, a sometimes politically fraught issue when some segments of the community push back due to fears of losing parking spaces and traffic lanes.
