For some truck drivers, all they can do is guess and hope they are able to make it under the Chicago Transit Authority Green Line viaduct over Lake Street on the city’s West Side. But some drivers end up getting stuck, and blocking traffic for hours.
He estimates at least 30 trucks have gotten stuck since last summer.
“We cannot be the best city in the world if trucks from across America are getting trapped like rats – and ripped apart like children’s toys – under this Lake Street structure,” Romanelli said.Romanelli’s focus is on the stretch of Lake Street from Talman Avenue and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks west to Laramie Avenue – a distance of more than three miles.
He describes that stretch as a rollercoaster, with clearance changes truck drivers don’t see coming, and columns that make it difficult for drivers and pedestrians to see each other. While the Fulton Market Association most wants to see real infrastructure dollars invested in updating the CTA structure, they say in the meantime, more clearance height signs are needed to warn drivers who are turning onto Lake Street.It’s not just the semis getting damaged though. Merriweather says businesses along Lake Street are too, because drivers don’t want to risk their truck to make a delivery.
