The complaints aired during Monday’s Finance Committee meeting were so universal, local Ald. Walter Burnett had to plead with his colleagues to salvage the $850,000 worth of engineering work (paid with TIF funds) at seven dangerous grade crossings that he hopes will be a prelude to a new Fulton Market Station on the Milwaukee District Rail Line.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
So a new Metra station less than a 1/2 mile away from 2 L stops and would only serve a few rail lines from the northwest suburbs?
