Very typical for Chicago (more so south chicago). I have to go there on business once in awhile. Hate going there and can't wait until I leave. People there just don't care and don't want to do anything about living in a safe and clean environment.
We had an Interstate highway bridge like that here in Denver. The city let it go so long the whole bridge had to be replaced. That part of I-25 was closed for months.
@cherokeepatti I haven't heard about or read of any, but I guarantee you that if there was a major disaster that the city would have a huge one on their hands.
@cherokeepatti Oh I'm sure. I found a few videos on Youtube from CBS Chicago, plus various online articles from the Chicago Tribune and the Daily Herald.
@empanadas I believe the city is more consistent when it comes to taking care of the CTA. But that might be because they actually own the tracks that trains use. They don't own Metra so they probably figure, "Hey it's their tracks, their responsibility.
@bleach The city has a history of being lackadaisical when it comes to upgrading their infrastructure, usually waiting until something is in horrible shape.
