Central Area Action Plan Dreams Big for the South Loop

The city recently updated and released it's plan for improving many areas downtown and we quickly read through some of it. It has seven chapters all of which were pretty interesting to us. However, please read it with a skeptical eye as it is definitely a 'dream'. Regardless, it gives you a good glimpse into the vision of the city planners and where we could be by 2020. Here is the link to the files.

The Chicago Tribune also has an interesting article today specifically criticizing one of the plans biggest attributes, the West Loop Transportation Center.

For more coverage, check out the Chicago Journal's take on parts of the plan.

There is a ton of plans for the greater Sloopin area and we will be reading/looking into plans for our specific neighborhood over the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned and please let us know what you like, hate or don't understand.
