These selfish Polls as my Ausie friends call them and what they do STINK like a rotten onion.<br /><br />I remember back in the sixties when my family, friends , and I were big fans of ROLLER DERBY they used calcium chloride on the tracks when they got wet to keep skaters ( ESP JAMMERS! ) from falling.

The street parking fiasco is rightly hated; I've been with people trying to deal with its intricacies and failures--glad I don't drive.<br /><br />RE: calcium chloride, I know it costs more, know it might not be available in vast amounts--but did the council actually look into it, is my point. Scattering of the granules isn't the biggest problem, I don't think.

A few Sundays ago, they were caught off-guard and traffic was paralyzed. However, the State of Illinois and surrounding municipalities didn't fare any better.<br /><br />Other than that one occasion, I believe that Streets and San have been doing a decent job. During the most recent heavy snow spell, many side streets were plowed, but not salted. Traffic on those streets was not seriously disrupted, nor was safety compromised. <br /><br />Regarding the use of calcium chloride on the streets, I really don't think it's doable. For starters, it's a lot more expensive. Secondly, applying either salt or CC before a snowfall wouldn't work. It would be scattered by passing traffic.<br /><br />Regarding Leslie Hairston, I'm with you. She really seems to be a dedicated, conscientious public servant. Also to her credit, she was one of only five of 50 aldermen to vote against the notorious, and universally hated street parking contract that became such a fiasco. Whether or not she'd ever be interested in running for mayor, I don't know. But I'd definitely support her.Hardwired to Reasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09215442048112659065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357567517901566907.post-92040391742239987812014-01-16T07:42:49.267-08:002014-01-16T07:42:49.267-08:00I was born and raised in Chicago.

Lady Amber as you know it was once not that long ago a great place to live.<br /><br />Now if that code thing passes THERE MAY BE ONLY A HAND FULL OF BUSINESSES LEFT!The neighborhoods where more homes are being raised daily look more like ghost towns.IS THIS THE NEXT DETROIT? Maybe near down town will be where the RICH MINORITY( excuse that bad word) will dictate and live. Look up the native AMERICAN meaning of CHICAGO. it is living up to it;s name now..BOLDLY SPEAKING ( The commander! )https://www.blogger.com/profile/00710357583233425735noreply@blogger.com
