And Hilkevitch was snubbed for this gem:
"Getting Around's hunch is that IDOT and CDOT officials are still seriously underestimating the anger among hordes of drivers who accurately predicted the mess that would result from conducting three major road projects simultaneously in such a concentrated and congested area of the downtown.

If these sage transportation officials continue to doubt public opinion, one humble suggestion is that they check the comments section accompanying the online version of this column. The responses will likely melt their pocket protectors"
