Chicago Tests Rubber Sidewalks – Travel: “CHICAGO — Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley’s green initiative is gaining ground yet again — this time with two new infrastructure technologies.

Cheri Heramb with the Chicago Department of Transportation said the aim of the initiative is to become the ‘greenest city in the world.’

Chicago is taking one more step toward that goal with new green infrastructure technology.

The DOT has kicked off a pilot program to test 550 feet of recycled rubber sidewalk over the next year, right across the street from the Chicago Center for Green Technology on the city’s West Side. “
