A new construction permit has been issued by the city to build a daycare facility at 3351 West 59th Street in Chicago Lawn. The permit had been pending in the Chicago Data Portal since the final day of January 2024, finally coming through on March 4 after a 763-day wait. The reported cost is $350,000.
The traffic snarl you encountered over the weekend is evidence that the closures of Chicago Avenue and Halsted Street in the River West neighborhood continue. Both streets were closed and the intersection torn apart months ago for reconstruction of the Halsted Street viaduct, and now the bridge over the Chicago River has been removed ahead of its replacement.
Plans have been revealed for a new residential development at 1282 West Washington Boulevard in the West Loop. Located mid-block between North Ada Street and North Elizabeth Street, the proposal would replace an existing one-story commercial building on the western end of the neighborhood.
The Chicago Plan Commission has approved plans for a mixed-use development at 215 North Racine Avenue in Fulton Market. Located just north of the intersection with Lake Street, the proposal has been in the works since last year and would replace a small mid-block vacant lot on the neighborhood’s western end.
Additional details have been revealed for the upcoming mixed-use development at 2800 North Sheridan Road in Lake View. Sitting on the corner of West Diversey Parkway and along the northern edge of the neighborhood’s namesake park, the proposal has been in the works since late last year and is set to replace an existing medical office building and its parking lot.
