Like just about everything in Chicago ;proceed at your peril! No lifeguards, no police! How about color coded risk levels. Like swimming condition warnings. Except crime warnings. The Welcome signs at Ord and Mdw could display reported gunfire detected by shot spotter and the much vaunted Strategic Support Center. Show the live numbers so everyone can understand the magnitude of the mess the city has become. Also make plans for the stampede of workers pouring back to the loop.
