I find differences in what the CTA tells the feds/the public about this project and what they know internally at an alarming frequency. It's a partial indictment of the feds that they can't or didn't catch inconsistencies between records

A little proud of today's work project as seen from above. All of those moving lights (and the center light) have 1/2" of clearance from hitting each other while spinning
Couldn't miss the opportunity to visit my favorite lobbyists in Springfield last week
Motors to get the big ones up and the compact area of barely fitting lights that I had to mostly dis- and re-assemble blindly

I wanted to highlight that I gave SB an exclusive that the CTA has already delayed the opening of the RLE from June 2030 to August of 2031. It's gone unreported that CTA has known this since at least April 2024, yet has continued to produce public-facing messaging stating a 2030 opening.
