This is why the Bears won’t move to Arlington Heights. A traffic map Friday 4:00 pm showing 2 hrs inbound on 90, 94, 290, 55, DLSD 20 lanes of expressways taking Swiftys and their moms downtown. How would it work going to A.H. with just 6 lanes?

@the_vello The city of Chicago does not currently have a recall mechanism in place, and there is no statewide law regarding municipal mayoral recalls. Many Illinois municipalities have recall statutes. Chicago could theoretically implement one.
