Getting a hold of the station's poop problem is such a hassle because the station itself — where the pigeons roost — is under the jurisdiction of the Illinois Department of Transportation, but the sidewalk where the poop lands falls to the City of Chicago. Cleanup is the responsibility of the Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation, but hosing down the street doesn't prevent the pigeons from pooping on it all over again.

The problem is caught in a bureaucratic nightmare. Until it's solved, commuters are stuck with an all around shitty situation.
