ATA: Compliance with Must Stop for Pedestrians law very low in Chicagoland

The results of this survey are not too surprising. Just last night a family crossing Lincoln Ave. in a zebra crosswalk was surprised and thanked me when I stopped my bicycle to wait for them. They didn't know that I was required by law to do so.

This must be the second most ignored traffic law (after speed limits).

I have to disagree. Toni Preckwinkle would destroy Rahm if she ran, machine or not. Karen Lewis will give him a run for his money too, if she decides to go for it.

How long have you lived in this city Jeff?

The mayor isn't "elected' -the machine picks him. The "election" is a mere formality. Rahm is still the machine's picked boy. Until he isn't, he's the mayor for life if he wants to be. That's how things work here.
