"If it ain't broke don't fix it" but it IS broke. You need a compass, a sextant, and/or a ball of magical string to get to Bay St. from the south. How can you sit here and say "working as intended"

I can, if i squint, just about make out the reasoning people defending keeping 794 as-is. Defending leaving this interchange as is makes no sense. It is poorly engineered for a usage that never came to pass and I don't know ANYONE who can consistently navigate it. Who is Defending that nonsense?

Not me still nostalgic for my semester in London 20 years ago, when I was able to take the Tube literally everywhere. (See also: my utter disdain at Chicagoans complaining about "oh the El sucks" DOES IT NOW)

Every man identified, you say? Well I mean it's a shame to have to throw Larry Summers under the bus* but if that's really what this person wants, I support and expect a perp walk from 1600 Pennsylvania and elsewhere. In the spirit of bipartisanship of course.

*Not at all a shame, screw that guy

As an urbanist I am glad that the City is at least responsive to people complaining about this and will levy fines for people who don't clear their walks. As a homeowner on a corner lot DO IT FORRRRR MEEEEE MILWAUKEE COME ONNNNNN

Anyway, at some point after a big snowfall the City will inevitably plow me into my driveway, forcing me to break up a wall of snow and ice just to get my car out, so please consider this an adjunct whine to that perennial one

Of note, anyone saying "homemade pasta is an acceptable workaround to this" has never made pasta at home, and/or lives upstairs from a dedicated pasta production facility. I say this as a man who owns a pasta roller.
