Sadly, it's only a matter of time before there's an accident.

I'm guessing, and hoping, that the reason people still cross there is to get to the fare card vending machines in the station house. How come at auxiliary entrances there's never a vending machine there? Is the CTA afraid that someone will pry the thing open to get the money?Brianbobcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762299406023279109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-80686172549794590542012-12-27T09:25:06.776-06:002012-12-27T09:25:06.776-06:00I rarely use this stop, but everytime I have drive...I rarely use this stop, but everytime I have drive down Roosevelt, I still notice people jaywalking and actually stopped my car right in front of someone just to cause him some stress.
