If there’s one street worth pedestrianizing in the Loop, it’s LaSalle. Because LaSalle effectively ends in a dead end, converting it into a pedestrian street would create a welcome green respite for workers in the offices along Wacker without the significant adverse effects on traffic that pedestrianizing Michigan or State would cause. Helmut Jahn’s studio recently produced a concept for the idea, featuring a dramatic pedestrian bridge over W. Wacker Drive that connect it directly to the Riverwalk.
In the last few years we've seen:
- The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer
- The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC
- The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi
- Multiple assassination attempts against Trump
- The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife
- Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson
- The assassination of Charlie Kirk
Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all.
The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.
