The Clybourn corridor between North and Ashland avenues has adapted from a manufacturing hub to a diverse and bustling commercial center. Meanwhile, residential development in the neighborhood continues apace, including a new mixed-income community at Division and Clybourn being created by the Chicago Housing Authority's Plan for Transformation. The need for transportation to evolve along with residential and commercial development is all too clear for anyone who travels to the area – whether to shop on a sunny Saturday afternoon or to deliver the trendy goods beckoning shoppers.
The Near North Task Force of Reconnecting Neighborhoods invites community members to a public meeting on Wednesday, March 26, 6 to 7:30 p.m., Evergreen Towers Apartments, 1333 N. Cleveland Ave., Chicago, to:
- Voice their opinions about how to make their neighborhood more convenient and vibrant.
- Plan improvements that will increase access to transportation, shopping and jobs.
- Learn more about transportation and retail amenities in the Near North, Old Town, Goose Island, River North and former Cabrini Green neighborhood.
This is the first community meeting on the Near North side for Reconnecting Neighborhoods. The meeting is public and open to everyone. RSVP on the Reconnecting Neighborhoods Web site, by e-mailing info@reconnectingneighborhoods.org, or by calling Brandon Johnson at (312) 863-6046.
