Way cool survey. I'm becoming a big Preckwinkle fan.

I agree - I met her at a Bat Mitzvah party for a mutual friend's daughter - she was very approachable and I enjoyed our brief conversation. A big step up from Todd Stroger, IMO.

I am not sure how much of a compliment that is.  The bar was pretty low!

As far as the survey, I find those surveys that ask one to pinpoint issues on a map of an area the size of Cook County to be pretty difficult.  I am not going to take the time to zoom down to every little thing.  I made a couple of very general comments, but they probably were not useful.

The other problem with this--as one of the articles pointed out--is that Cook County does not control most of the area in Cook County.  It is either municipalities or IDOT.  Cook County only controls the unincorporated bits.

Yeah, Todd is kind of an easy target...

As for who controls the roads, the Cook County Highway Department is responsible for a number of stretches - here's a good map:

I made sure all the CCHD roads (in red) I regularly ride on were commented up.

Thanks for this. I was wondering how everything was divided up among jurisdictions.
