Planning & Development
No Casino for the South Loop
Mayor Lori Lightfoot's City Council committee has chosen Ballys at the former Tribune printing plant (Halsted & Chicago) as the site of Chicago's casino. City Council action this week should make it official. A temporary casino is to operate at Medinah Temple in River North while the riverside casino—and a new Chicago Avenue bridge—are being built.
Streets Under Construction
Sidewalk reconstruction adjacent to the Old Post Office on Harrison has closed the bike lanes in that area.
Ida B. Wells Drive is being resurfaced between Congress Plaza and Columbus. Work should be finished by May 31.
Development update
