While jogging on the Rock Island Trail this morning I noticed that several metal poles have been erected alongside the trail beneath the Sheridan Boulevard bridges. I couldn't tell what they were going to become. I can think of two possibilities:
The first possibility is that they're going to attempt to somehow "seal up" the underside of the bridge. Kids have messed around under there for years. Perhaps the City is finally tired of cleaning up their messes. In the past 20 years I've never noticed anybody doing anything particularly bad under there, but it's not like I've ever had reason to linger.
The second possibility is that they're going to build some sort of canopy over the trail to protect trail users. Protect them from what, though? Are pieces of the bridge falling off? Are pooping pigeons a problem?
Do any of you know what's going on under there?

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
Can someone get some pics of the poles posted?
I didn’t have a camera with me when I ran by. I’ll grab pics if I get back in the area. Unless somebody else beats me to it, of course.
