Traffic Signal Needed, Joe Moore Silent

Thirteen months ago, The Bench posted a video (below) proving that the stop sign in front of a grade school is rarely obeyed. There has never been a traffic light at the intersection of W. Pratt and N. Greenview. Joe Moore has been alderman for 16 years, and he's done nothing about it. As of today, that video has gotten over 5,800 views on YouTube. Moore's people have seen it. Moore's office is aware of the dangerous intersection. Moore's office has done nothing about it. Ald. Moore's recent announcement of a traffic light to be installed on Clark Street, therefore, is a cynical and hypocritical gesture. He either doesn't care about the safety of the children crossing through Pratt & Greenview or he's a moron. Or both, maybe.
