Down in the tunnel

I never noticed a light on in the tunnel before. It looked so creepy but it gave it a lot of depth.

The Subway

The elevators at some of the subway stops have been down for a long time. I realize they are putting in new elevators but it has taken an incredibly long time to get done and must be such a hastle for handicapped people. I can't even imagine. Here are the official down times.

LaSalle Station August 8 - October 7, 2005
Humbolt Station August 22 - October 25, 2005

They have a "solution" listed on the NFTA website.

Customers can use the "Call for Aid" panel by pressing the emergency button once. The customer shall inform the police officer of their location and that the elevator is inoperable.

Customers calling from the train platform level will be advised to board the next train and proceed to the next station with a working elevator where they will board the #8 Main bus. If a bus is not scheduled to arrive for over 30-minutes, customers can use the "Call for Aid" panel to request alternative transportation.

Customers calling from the street level will be informed to board the next #8 Main bus to be transported to the next station with a working elevator. If a #8 Main bus is not scheduled to arrive for over 30 minutes, a police officer will dispatch a vehicle to transport the passenger.
