It feels like graffiti is sprouting up faster than spring flowers.
There's graffiti scrawled on walls, on bridge supports, on barricades along the Jane Byrne Interchange.
Because all of the expressway land is owned by the state of Illinois, it's up to the Illinois Department of Transportation to clean it up. An IDOT spokesperson says they typically send out graffiti crews on holiday weekends, when they have extra time and there's not as much traffic. A cleanup crew scheduled for President's Day weekend had to be pulled because of a winter storm, that put them in plows instead.Advertisement
Chicago Ald. Raymond Lopez has been tweeting recently about all the graffiti on the expressways, and he says it's time for the state to take a new approach.
