chicago's traffic problems solved

it's amazing what a roll of masking tape can do.

I think we could use some masking tape on the streets for the traffic in downtown chicago. I'll reroute all the cars so it is traffic free. Everything would be pedastrian walkways.

I think I'll route all the cars to go to the suburbs. No cars allowed in the city. I don't think there are enough cars in the suburbs now. They could use more. They love their cars.

Eventually there would be enough cars in the suburbs where they would be back to back enough where they would form their own street. And take into account that many of the SUVs are getting bigger and bigger. So this wall to wall cars would merely form a street for the SUVs to drive on. Much like a Monster truck rally. Then you could get people all over to watch Monster truck rallies happen on their own street. It would be a spectator's dream.

Then all the non-car people in the city would come to the suburbs to watch the constant Monster truck rallies. So then there would be no pedestrians in the city, so all the Monster trucks would come to the city, while the pedastrians take over the burbs. It would be a complete flip flop.

Besides, I think the scale works better to have big monster trucks in the city with all the big buildings. The formal qualities of scale would be more aesthetically pleasing.

Lower Wacker was the start of another great idea....Traffic should run below the main thoroughfares and the upper level should be for pedestrians.
