[Leica] Pedestrian Tunnel

[Mark Rabiner]

I walked to 3rd Grade in 1959 under Green Bay road @ Vernon Ave in Glencoe a North Shore suburb of Chicago in a funky pedestrian tunnel seemingly made for kids it was kind of fun. It's filled in now darn it!  It would have been a great place to get beat up by "big kids" but I lucked out.  I miss it. And I miss Pops who was the crossing guard despite the fact that we were crossing in a tunnel.  I suppose he made sure some of the kids didn’t chicken out going down into the tunnel and dart into traffic? It was a brick staircase going into a hole. No wooden things like in Don's pic here.

    It would be very useful today for pedestrian traffic to avoid the tracks.
    Probably a legal liability to have open and responsible for what happens in
    the tunnel.
