Just weeks after the busy intersection reopened, crews will close all but one lane in each direction at DuSable Lake Shore and 57th drives for about two months.

A crossing guard could come to the intersection if Chicago Public Schools decides it's safe — although the district removed a guard that was stationed there because of the traffic concerns.

The funding kicks off the planning and design process for the Point, which may soon be named a Chicago landmark. City and federal agencies will seek design proposals to preserve its "historic nature" later this year.

Speed cameras have been added in Jefferson Park, Dunning and along Milwaukee Avenue in front of Schurz High School, close to where drivers hit and killed two cyclists.

Residents with low incomes in neighborhoods with low mobility are eligible when applications open again early next year.

City officials decided to overhaul the project after people complained the bike lane's original design did not do enough to improve safety for people on the road.

In Chicago’s busiest bike lane along Milwaukee Avenue, there have been 50 reported crashes and three deaths since 2020 as cyclists navigate the city’s patchwork approach to safety.

Passengers at the closed bus stops have to navigate around construction cones, debris and concrete barriers just steps from traffic as drivers pick them up.

The barriers have so far been installed sporadically from Addison to Kenneth and replace the painted bike lane and flexi posts.

The lanes would run between Milwaukee and Western avenues. The plan would also shorten pedestrian crosswalks and lower speed limits on that stretch of Augusta.

Closures on Hayes Drive, lane reductions on Cornell Drive and other traffic changes in Jackson Park will go in effect Monday.

"We don’t have many dine-in restaurants in South Shore," so new patios will help fill that gap by allowing on-site dining at takeout restaurants, the South Shore Chamber's director said.

The 100-year-old bridge connects Bucktown and Lincoln Park over the Chicago River. It's been fully closed to traffic for more than a year.

Bridges along the Chicago River from Lake Shore Drive to Ashland Avenue will be raised on Saturdays and Wednesdays until mid-November.

The decorative lighting hangs over the Clifton Avenue Art Gallery near the Wilson Red Line stop.

Sections of boulevards in Bronzeville, North Lawndale and Logan Square will be closed to vehicles so residents can walk, bike, socialize, eat food and more.

Neighbors shared ideas for preventing crashes along Washington Park's Garfield Boulevard, including adding pedestrian bumpouts, improved street crossings, protected bike lanes and public art.

Catalpa Avenue between Ashland and Clark is routinely closed to traffic for events like the Andersonville Farmers Market. A pedestrian plaza coming to the street could close it to cars permanently.

The delay in fulfilling work requests, which is also expected to affect sidewalks, is a citywide issue. But Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez said his ward has alleys and sidewalks that have long needed repairs.
