Northwest Indiana Discussion

I have mentioned this problem several times in the past. Trucks taveling south on Hohman and turning west onto Sibley, for years have gone over the curb on a regular basis because of the poor design of the corner. I predicted that if a change of the curb wasn't made, someone would be caught under the wheels of a semi. Today they started to replace the curb in the downtown project and wouldn't you know it, the replacement is just about where the old curb was. It's a very dangerous spot and someone is going to be hurt there. The curb should be moved back about 10 feet so trucks can make that turn without using the sidewalk. As for the construction going on downtown, it's beautiful and is shaping up in rapid time. For that parking lot, they installed the iron fence and makes it very attractive. Seeing the fence, I wonder if former Mayor Rich Daley was in on that. He demaned any new commercial construction should have a iron fence around it. Take a trip to the United Center and you will see what I mean. Madison Avenue is loaded with them. Even on vacant lots. He did that to beautify the city for a convention, remember!

I've been to the United Center many a time and I totally agree with you. Maybe someone should call Stan and make the suggestion.
