30、rivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But pedestria ns areprobably the worse offen ders.People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone, quiteunaware of what is going on around them. They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestria

31、ncrossing or elsewhere.

33、on the road but it is hardly used.The police do nothing.

They should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.- Car

34、ol Harvey Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the paveme nts,and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights whe n they are on red.I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane

35、 right next to him.Other road users, in cludi ng horse riders, man age to obey the rules so why not cyclists?Its about time they had to be registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle, or causean accide nt, at leastthey can be treated and there might be an opport un ity to c

The o

41、nly two optio ns were to lower theChicago River or raise the city.An engin eer n amed Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes aboveground and then cover them with dirt. This raised the level of the citys streets by as much as 12 feet.This of course created a

42、new problem: dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago.Building owners were faced with a choice: either change the first floors of their buildings into basements, and thesecond stories into main floors, or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level.
