Dummies remind drivers and pedestrians to act intelligently

Today Grid Chicago checks out a line of 32 ghostly-white mannequins along Chicago's
Wacker Drive representing last year's pedestrian crash fatalities. These dummies are
part of a new in-your-face campaign by the city to promote safer behavior by drivers
and pedestrians:

Keep moving forward,

Can we have some of those relocated to Van Buren and LaSalle, where rush hour pedestrians push their strollers into traffic against green lights?

I think the mannequins are mostly to remind drivers to be safe, but I'm sure they'll have that effect on pedestrians as well.
