Best To Avoid The 606 When It's Closed - More Robberies - The Chainlink2024-03-28T20:15:40Zhttps://thechainlink.org/forum/topics/best-to-avoid-the-606-when-it-s-closed-more-robberies?feed=yes&xn_auth=noWhy not request that police u…tag:thechainlink.org,2017-08-01:2211490:Comment:10697362017-08-01T00:15:14.067ZWaymond Smithhttps://thechainlink.org/profile/WaymondSmith
<p>Why not request that police use decoy riders throughout the day in order to catch these robbers? Wouldn't that make the most sense, or would you rather just complain?</p>

<p>Just throwing a comment in that this occurred at 10 p.m., meaning the 606 was still clearly open (it stays open to 11). I mean, this is a city, and things happen, but this is becoming a pretty clear pattern. It would be nice to see some sort of CPD change in approach. </p>

<p>I'm not sure there are all that many places in Chicago where it's good to be riding your bicycle at even 1:15 a.m. In my observation, the percentage of flat-out impaired drivers seems to rise exponentially as we approach and pass the witching hour.</p>

<p>Regardless of whether the trail is open or closed there are predators and we need to be mindful of that reality. The nature of the trail makes it a good location for this kind of criminal hunting. There is little that can be done to escape a reasonably coordinated group seeking to prey on riders, walkers and other users. </p>

<p>Well, that settles it. We need licensing - for pedestrians!</p>
<p>That way, whenever there's an incident, people can jot down the number on the offender's back and call police.</p>
<p>Those pedestrians! They don't follow the rules of the road, they don't pay to maintain the roads, etc etc.</p>
<p>(I wanted to write this on DNAInfo and tell those troglodytes off, but surprise surprise, no comments section for this article).</p>

I think we've gone over this before. The city says it's closed to try to limit their liability (and it leaves a victim blaming aftertaste in my mouth too) but they cant legally close it because having it open 24/7 is a condition of the federal funding they got to make it in the first place (or something like that). Also it's one of those things where I'd rather we as a society try to catch the bad guys and assert our right to transport ourselves freely and safely than live in fear and avoid…
