In Risner v. City of Chicago (1986), 150 Ill. App. 3d 827, 502 N.E.2d 357, 104 Ill. Dec. 94, the plaintiff, a pedestrian, was struck by a CTA bus as he stepped off a sidewalk curb and attempted to cross Adams Street in the middle of the block between State and Wabash Streets in Chicago. Plaintiff crossed the street at a point where there were neither any crosswalks nor any other traffic regulation signals. The Court in Risner stated "the street was for use by vehicular traffic--not pedestrians, except where defendant had provided crosswalks or the like." Risner, at 359.
