Actually the tunnel at 76th is relatively clean & graffiti free. But the problem stems from the tunnel itself, so long, dark, water problems... keeps most of the foot traffic out. Once the (crumbling) steps are replaced with ramps for bikes, it'll get alot more traffic and help keep the bad elements out.

Anybody have anymore updates on this? I have been trying to get news on the progress, but the last update I got was back in December at the public forum at Mt Carmel school. I did notice that a portion of the northern slope of the tracks were cleared near W.73rd, perhaps for survey/layout of the new entrance? I also heard that the W. 76th tunnel rehab might be experiencing delays? I sure hope not, cleaning up this "scary tunnel" is an important part of making the area safe, appealing, and accessible to the lake.

wasted opportunity indeed. With the newly renovated Capitol theater, fresh Detroit Ave streetscape & proximity to the water, there's about a thousand other things that could've gone in that spot. What I'd really like to see there would be Burger King relocate into the new spot and redevelop the big lot they have now. It's all parking which is never used.
