Initial neighborhood meetings have been held for the community spaces below the upcoming Red and Purple Line Modernization (RPM) across the north side. The project will run below and adjacent to the new track from W Lawrence Avenue in the south to W Ardmore Avenue in the north. Efforts are being led by the Chicago Transit Authority who brought on local firm Site Design Group to execute the work.
Renderings have been revealed for the mixed-use development at 370 N Carpenter Street in the West Loop.

A construction timeline has been revealed for the upcoming redesign of the Logan Square traffic circle at the heart of the neighborhood. The major intersection made up of N Milwaukee Avenue, N Kedzie Boulevard, and W Logan Boulevard, will finally be rebuilt after years of delays and concerns from local neighbors over its safety. The project is being led by the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) along with IDOT and Capitol Cement Co.
Developers are moving forward with the mixed-use development at 2919 W Lawrence Avenue in Ravenswood Manor. Sitting across the street from Ronan Park on the intersection with N Manor Avenue, updated details for the project were revealed a few months ago.
