Anyone ride Dearborn this morning and see the big Coca-Cola delivery truck parked in the PBL just north of Lake?

I called the police at 7:43am. Curious if we can piece together how long it was there.

(Side question: does anyone have any intel on what's going on at Madison and Dearborn? The stoplights have been out since at least noon on Monday. Would love to know whether it's planned work or some unexpected problem.)

Don't know about the truck, but they were opening the manhole covers on both the north and south side of Madison in the lane this morning. They had the maintenance truck parked in the lane on the south side, but just one guy yanking off the cover on the north, no signs, cones or detours set up beforehand. Hope no one fell in.

(BTW, why are there so many manhole covers in the lane between Lake and Washington? And none are flush with the street. Its like a slalom course out there)

(P.S. Google street view captured this guy for posterity's sake:

re the side question: I doubt it was planned work. The traffic lights were out for the morning commute on Monday. If it was planned I'm guessing there would have been at least some attempts to accommodate the problem. As of yesterday, at least some human traffic aides have been present and this morning the lights were flashing red - a sign of progress I suppose.

Work was cleared and Madison/Dearborn was in working order as of Wednesday's PM rush. Would love to know what happened that was so difficult to fix!

Yeah! Thanks for the update.
