What a way to start your day. :( I can't believe the platform was icy enough for you to fall - that is just irresponsible. I'm glad you're not seriously injured.

Be careful, everyone!

I LOVE YOUR ICON.

Thanks :-D This icon saves me $20 a month on paper towels! (Seriously, who spends $20/month on paper towels??)

i'm glad to know you're safe.

the fact that CTA is contracting out the ice removal explains a lot. i've been appalled by the amount of ice that keeps collecting on the brown line platforms i use (normally southport, addison, and washington/wells)...and now i have a better idea why.

I'm really glad you're ok, and I'm appalled that ice is not being removed properly from stations.

Glad you're okay!

Yeah, definitely glad you came out of that okay.

The amount of ice is terrifying, especially with how narrow some of those outdoor platforms are. It's a tragedy waiting to happen.
