Updates on the following?

No news on any of these for ages. Just curious if they're just on permanent hold until there is more funding, or what? 1) Metra Market 2) The recently designed pedestrian bridges over LSD (winners already selected by a world-wide competition), as well as the pedestrian bridge flanking LSD across the Chicago River 3) West side movie production studios 4) Stand-up comedy channel (in 2004 there was a Tribune article about 2 people who wanted to start a stand-up comedy channel based in Chicago--no news ever since) Does anybody know anything new about any of these, or are we to assume they're all in limbo at this point>
