<![CDATA[
      <p>While Blue Line riders this weekend must endure the shuttle buses from Clark/Lake to Western as usual, Red Line riders will see the tunnel closed in each direction on different nights.</p>

<p>Southbound trains <a href="http://maill.transitchicago.com/news/default.aspx?Month=&amp;Year=&amp;Category=2&amp;ArticleId=2357">will be rerouted</a> to the elevated tracks from 9 pm Friday to 9 am Saturday while crews perform track and power maintenance work. Norhbound riders can still board in the tunnel during that time.</p>

<p>But northbound trains will be diverted to the El tracks from 9 pm Saturday till 9 am Sunday. And southbound riders will still board in the tunnel.</p>

<p>Let's hope the customer assistants and good signage are all doing their jobs to prevent confusion.</p>

<p><strong>Blue Line blues.</strong> And&nbsp;once again, slow zone work will shut the Blue Line from Clark/Lake to&nbsp;Western from 10 p.m. Friday until 4 a.m. Monday. Shuttle buses will ferry passengers to all the closed&nbsp;stops.</p>

<p><strong>CTA Tattler on Outside the Loop radio.</strong> Yours truly explained&nbsp;the nature of the Blue Line work on Outside the Loop radio recently. You can hear the podcast <a href="http://www.outsidetheloopradio.com/otl/2009/05/15/otl-episode-138-ald-joe-moore-on-parking-meters-and-the-cta-tattler/">here</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Another helicopter lift reroutes buses.</strong> The No. 4 Cottage Grove and No. 60 Blue Island/26th will be rerouted from 9&nbsp;till 11 am Sunday due to a helicopter lift at 200 E. Randolph, tha Aon Center. That's the second time in two months. &nbsp;</p>

<p>How angry do you get when something that really matters affects you?  Get a gun?</p>

<p>I have to believe that full RSS feeds has to rank fairly low on your life's problems.</p>]]>
