Aldermen on Friday advanced a proposal targeting ‘recklessly driven’ motorcycles.

Aldermen gave unanimous approval Friday to an ordinance aimed at deterring motorcyclists from “recklessly” driving up and down Chicago streets, particularly downtown and along the lakefront.

Members of the City Council Committee on Public Safety approved the ordinance introduced by Ald. Pat Dowell (3) during the Friday meeting, during which aldermen also held a short discussion of Anti-Asian hate crimes and approved an ordinance adding gender identity to the protected classes covered under the city’s hate crime ordinance.
