Bus Fumes

Received from my building's office manager today:

Dear Customers:

The City of Chicago, the Chicago Police Department, and march organizers have finalized plans for a May 1st 2007 Immigration Rights March. XXXXXXX Properties is coordinating security efforts with local authorities. The large number of people expected to participate could result in delays for commuters, building visitors and deliveries. Tenants may want to consider scheduling critical meetings and deliveries early in the day on May 1st or on another day. It is important to avoid the area around the demonstration and not provoke the demonstrators.

It is anticipated that the march will depart Union Park, Washington and Ogden at 1:30 P.M. The route of the march will be eastbound on Washington to Des Plaines, southbound on Des Plaines to Jackson and eastbound on Jackson into Grant Park. The rally will take place in Lower Hutchinson Field which is in Grant Park at Columbus and Balbo and disband from there.

Vehicular traffic of any kind will be prohibited to allow the march to proceed safely.

We will continue to work to minimize any disruptions this event may cause. If you have any questions or concerns before or during the march please call the customer service center at XXX XXX XXXX or myself at YYY YYY YYYY.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! (Thank goodness that I had to drive in today, and not tomorrow. Another good reason that I heart Metra.)
