If you are talking about a triangle shaped lot on the corner, which is across the street from the lichmere stop of the green line...
That lot was the lichmere stop of the green line until about two years ago. And was the lichmere stop for decades. Once torn down it was used as a gravel pile and support area for MBTA work. Recently that corner had the traffic pattern altered a bit with a new light and cross street.
You gotta remember, in America city infrastructure takes time.
That's some of the most valuable real estate in the country. It's directly on the lakefront, right behind the convention center, a short walk from Soldier Field, and from there the museum campuses.
It's right across the street from one, actually. It also borders Central Square which is home to a lot of derelicts. Things are more gentrified now than they were even 10-15 years ago but the Jaywalking thing has been around for 30ish years.
