So there is a crater on Lake Shore Drive West (north/east bound); it's the street that runs on the north side of Diversey Harbor between Cannon and the Tennis Courts/Park Area.

Also, Damen Ave southbound between Armitage and Wabansia, right before the bridge.

Four or five tire-eating craters recently have sprung up on lower Wacker.

The city addressed one of them buy dropping an orange cone inside.

In the 1100 block of West Hollywood right before the L tracks - right lane going westbound near the gutter. The city put an orange cone in there that is just peaking out - it is deep.

I love how the cones are the city's solutions for repair. :rolleyes:

And to refuse to raise the winter speed limit on LSD (as if anyone ever observed it) :rolleyes:

But I guarantee you they'll all be fixed in time for the Olympics...in 2016.

Only in the visible parts. You can rest assured the side streets over by the United Center, and that area just west of the Gold Coast under the EL tracks will still be a hodge podge of cobblestones, pavement, patches, and the like. ;) :D
