The Chicago Data Portal has a shapefile for Bike Routes: https://data.cityofchicago.org/Transportation/Bike-Routes/3w5d-sru8

IDOT may have a more comprehensive shapefile that would be able to distinguish between protected bike lanes and shared ones.

It may be of interest to connect and look for correlations with other sources like Bike Lane Uprising and their obstruction heat maps: https://www.bikelaneuprising.com/mapped-obstructions

That'd be interesting. I think the shapefile on the data portal should have the information on the type of bike facility i.e. whether it is a buffered bike lane/protected bike lane/off-street trail, etc....
