Beautiful day to cut the ribbon on the “Soul City West” Corridor Streetscape!

Today we joined Mayor Brandon Johnson, Alderman Taliaferro, Alderwoman Mitts, and community leaders in Austin to celebrate a revitalized Chicago Avenue, which now has wider sidewalks, safer crossings, new trees and lighting, and better access for people walking, biking, and taking the bus.

These infrastructure improvements were shaped by community input and reflect a shared vision for a safer, more vibrant Soul City Corridor. More to come as we continue investing in Chicago Avenue!
