Chicago’s traffic control aides are under unprecedented danger on the job, with two recent serious injuries sparking alarm. After a veteran supervisor was struck near Soldier Field and another aide nearly run over near Guaranteed Rate Field—both incidents involving aggressive drivers—City Traffic Director Michelle DiCola, with 30 years of experience, is sounding the alarm. She’s calling for urgent change, highlighting how aides, many of whom are parents and siblings, face daily hostility, horns, and yelling while trying to keep streets safe. With aide numbers cut in half since 2020, the stakes are higher than ever. DiCola insists these essential workers deserve to go home unharmed.
