Chipotle and Potbelly Opening in Pullman/Roseland Community
|
As the first fast casual restaurants to open in the community in more than 20 years, the new Chipotle Mexican Grill and Potbelly Sandwich Shop locations are scheduled to be constructed along 111th street just west of Doty Road, affording more dining options to the 9th Ward community.
Alderman Anthony Beale, in close collaboration with Chicago Neighborhood Initiatives, Inc. (CNI), received Chicago City Council approval to embark on the next phase of retail development on the former Ryerson Steel plant site and gateway into the new Pullman National Monument.

Affordable Live/Work Space for Artists Coming to the Neighborhood
Just one year after President Barack Obama declared Chicago's Pullman neighborhood a national monument, Chicago's Landmark Commission gave its stamp of approval for the first building to be rehabbed and constructed within the historic district. The proposed Pullman Artspace, an affordable live/work space for artists, received approval to incorporate the shell of the existing buildings at 111th and Langley into housing for 36 artists as well as common space for classes, exhibitions and workshops.

A Letter from Alderman Beale - Fair First Steps to Protect Passengers and Drivers
Whenever a Chicagoan or tourist gets into a limousine, cab, bus or even a horse-drawn carriage, he or she has always done so with confidence - knowing the driver and the vehicle were duly licensed by the City of Chicago. Now, thanks to an ordinance recently passed by Chicago City Council, you can add ridesharing companies like Uber and Lyft to that list. The new ordinance requires ride-sharing drivers to be licensed - a big step in extending vital consumer safeguards to this new class of service.
