Instead of an 11-story office building, LG Development wants to build a 20-story apartment building on Lake Street, a zoning application shows.

Long off limits for residential projects, the approval now means new developments are allowed within the Kinzie Corridor Overlay District, bounded by Ogden Avenue, Carroll Avenue, Hubbard Street, Halsted and Wayman streets.

The Little Village site will become home to a hospital, a trade school, affordable housing, restaurants, retail and more.

The pet food pantry is from 10 a.m.-noon Friday at Chicago Animal Care and Control, 2741 S. Western Avenue.

Ald. Walter Burnett Jr. (27th) said the neighborhood was “blessed” developers' interest hasn’t tempered during the pandemic.

The 19-story condo building is planned across from Mary Bartelme Park and the 12-story apartment building is planned near Union Park.

About 1,000 people marched and called for justice for Adam Toledo, 13, and Lydia Jimenez, 17. They want the city to invest more in communities like Little Village so they can save and heal young people.

Officials are urging a police oversight agency to quickly investigate the fatal shooting. The agency will make recommendations about what should happen to the officer who shot Toledo.

“All is calm for now but you never know. Plus, we’ll see what happens next week in Minnesota. I’m just as worried about that,” one officer said.

The Cook County State's Attorney's Office backtracked on a previous claim 13-year-old Toledo was holding a gun when he was fatally shot by a police officer.

Footage of the March 29 shooting shows the seventh-grader with his hands raised before an officer fatally shot him.

Immediately after commanding Toledo to show his hands, the officer shot the boy at close distance. Toledo’s hands were raised when he was shot, the footage shows.

The city has prepared for potential unrest in the wake of the video’s release, though memorials and protests in Toledo's honor have been peaceful.

The farm, which once was the site of a roofing manufacturer, will have a worker-owned cooperative portion, a community fruit orchard and bilingual Spanish-English urban agriculture training.

The slain seventh-grader's family viewed body camera video of his death Tuesday and reportedly asked a police oversight agency to delay releasing the footage to the public. It will be made public eventually.

Since opening last year, nearly 30,000 tickets have been sold for public and private events at Pilsen drive-in ChiTown Futbol, the owner said. Former scorekeepers and referees were able to stay employed by directing traffic and delivering food to cars.

On the one-year anniversary of the Hilco smokestack implosion Sunday, activists and community members gathered to look back at the botched implosion and amplify the need for environmental justice against polluting industries.

It remains unknown whether Toledo pointed or shot the gun before he was killed in Little Village on March 29. Video of the high-profile shooting could be released next week. The man allegedly with Toledo that night was charged with three felonies Saturday.

City officials say they will publicly release the police camera footage of the March 29 shooting, but not before Toledo's relatives have had a chance to see it.
