Or, until we get a mayor who:
1) cares about transit and infrastructure in general as something other than a purely political issue (e.g. a LaGuardia-type)
2) can still wield some level of power despite Chicago's "weak mayor, strong council" governmental system.
#1 can apply to the governorship, as well.
Not an impossibility, but there is no heir apparent to Hizzoner, of course.
