What prompted this new dynamic message sign at the Clinton railroad crossing?

Active tracks!
Do not stop on tracks!

I can’t tell you how much I’d want to see Lasalle (at least from Jackson to Adams) pedestrianized. It would make for such a grand plaza, all surrounded by various historical buildings with the Board of Trade as a focal point in the back

This rally was brought to you by the excellent intersection redesign from 2017 that bent Racine to meet Broadway at a right angle, creating a huge pedestrian plaza in the process. Would love to see more of these along Chicago’s diagonal streets.

Two side-by-side images of the same intersection before and after it was reconstructed to create a large plaza

I get that we all get had here and there. It happens to even the most careful people. That said, when it comes to AI generated slop - please don't make it, share it, or amplify it. Not only are you helping to poison the water supply of whole communities, but you're helping to destroy our brains.

"even if it's AI, it's at least true" hard to overstate the damage this stuff is doing to people's brains. we're gonna be cleaning the slop out of archives for decades
