Final Public Meetings in November

Reconnecting Neighborhoods will hold its final community meetings in November. At these meetings, Reconnecting Neighborhoods will discuss final recommendations for neighborhood retail and transportation improvements with the community.

The meetings for the Mid-South and Near North study areas have been scheduled. The meeting on the Near West Side is to be scheduled. Details follow. Please help spread the word by inviting friends and neighbors to join you at the meeting in your neighborhood, where you'll learn how you can help make top recommendations a reality.

Mid-South Meeting
In 2008, the Reconnecting Neighborhoods community planning project talked to many Mid-South Side residents who said improvements like express service along Cottage Grove to the Loop, safer pedestrian crossings on Martin Luther King Drive, and weekend service on the #39 bus route would make the Mid-South neighborhood a better place. Come to the final meeting to learn how you can help turn top recommendations into reality.

Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2008, 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.
King Center, 4314 S. Cottage Grove Ave.

Near North Meeting
In 2008, the Reconnecting Neighborhoods community planning project talked to many Near North Side residents who said improvements like a new CTA Brown Line station at Division and Orleans, the return of the Clybourn bus, and better pedestrian and bicycle routes on Halsted, Chicago, and Division would make the Near North neighborhood a better place. Come to the final meeting to learn how you can help turn top recommendations into reality.
