Community spaces where neighbors, friends, and family spend time together and share joy should be plentiful. We believe open streets belong in every neighborhood in Chicago.
It's good for our people. It's good for our communities. It's good for our city.
Protected bike lane on Clark to Leland to the Lincoln Ave Promenade in our lifetime.
Lincoln Square open to the people was so joyous. Don't be discouraged by car brained reactionaries. The street was consistently crowded with children playing/laughing, adults drinking/eating/shopping, and smart buisnesses capitalizing on the crowd.
Soaking up the lasts bit of sun and joy. I am once again in awe of the beautiful place our community has created.
There is one pedestrianized street in Chicago and it is wildly popular.

Lincoln Square’s got history, heart—and a housing crisis. Deconversions are erasing homes, and outdated laws make it too hard to build.
On a walk with Walking Chicago, I even ran into @slowstreets.org advocates to talk safer, more walkable neighborhoods. Time for new, energetic leadership.
Proud to support @slowstreets.org as we build a better future together. Check them out! ⬇️
