The proximity of this quiet, westbound avenue to the city’s nineteenth century rail and stock yards positioned it as a vital hub of Chicago’s growing food enterprises. Wide sidewalks increase walkability and offer opportunities for outdoor dining, parklets and window shopping. Nearby public transportation, bike- sharing stations, and multiple interstate connections makes the area highly accessible by foot, train, bike or car. Just blocks off of Randolph Street’s in-demand “Restaurant Row” and minutes from Chicago’s hip Greektown neighborhood, Fulton Market is at the center of this 24/7 district. ©John8 Joh 9 As A 101 hla 0 n N ASHLAND AVE d Cobra Loung TCF Bank All W ARBOR PL W ARBOR Ri se B rew e i n Pitchfork MusicFestival g U R oo m 1 nion Par 5 2 0 Billy Goat Tavern N OGDEN AVE Subway N JUSTINE ST Dunkin’ Donuts Harold’s Chicken Shack k Pet CarePlu Gunzo’s Sport s W S LAFLIN ST W ASHINGTON BLVD N LAFLIN ST Th Transit Ni Transit e Mi W CARROLL AVE W CARROLL ne W FU C G M g hil reen Be htclu us dca i N BISHIOP ST c H b r a e g ll innin L TON ST Rush Presbyterian gs Kaiser Tiger Belly Q B a Palace Grill d A xe N LOOMIS ST N LOOMIS ST Th row i West Loop ng S LOOMIS ST Athletic Club Johnny’s E Icehouse McDonald’sldd’s BER S M Bottom Lounge OO R Galls Service Center Gyu-Kaku E Lou Deal Alice Padrul Bridal Loft on Lakeakeake Madison Vine Wines Concierge Flowers Bespoke Cuisine Marathon GasMMarath Custom By Lamar CrossFit 312 Randolph St Market Viaggio Ristorante Elske GoodDog Blue Plate Catering WestEnd The GardnerSchool ofChicag N ADA ST Precision Human Nohea Cafe West Loop Cleaners Montessori Th Smyt Performance e Academy L h of Chicago oya li Exfole8 Sat Nam Yoga st o Verizon Wireless Performance Traning Systems N THROOP ST Millennium Dental S THROOP ST LillieAnn’s L Massage CorePower Yoga imitless Th & Skin Care r eadless C o ff ee My Paul Kids & Company Stan’s Donuts Cleaners Salon DJ N ELIZABETH ST Pure Dental Spa Lover’s Kavi Gu House Playground Animal Care Center Fred Astaire Pinot’s Palette Happy Tails Dance Studio p Of Glidden Paint Alhambra ta Galler & Trails Vans Palace Talay Chicago Macello Ristorante y Lou Malnati’s Terrazzo & Decollage Cycle X Studio Marble Supply West Loop Agati Furniture Orthopedics Blowout Junkie H&R Block Washington Dental N WILLARD CT Concentra Urgent Care Dental Smiles L at G Donation Cente R oodwill i n First Eagle Bank evel S Pure Barre Rh yt p h S ace m S RACINE ST tore Groundswell s & r Genesis Chiropractic City Winery Freshii W W Standing Room Only FU W N RACINE ST W W RANDOLPH ST RANDOLPH W W CARROLL AVE CARROLL W The Great American Bagel ASHINGTON BLVD Th Bio Pinky Nail Studio W MADISON ST W LAKE ST LAKE LAKE W W ST e L L L L a Leaders 1354 Art+Science MARKET TON b Madison Cleaners Salon Y o g Imagination Children’s Academy Thi a S Jupiter Outpost n olo SalonII Studio East6 kubator The Pilates Room Chicago Brewery MARZ Gallery Beauty Mark Salon Mad Social Spex Chicago Party Animals Thread Away D T N MAY ST Wigglyville Retail & Grooming CrossRoads Westlake Consumers Mugsy Jean Shop Bar & Grill Third Rail Tavern Bath & Kitchen Supply Cat & Mouse Rider For Life Butterfly Sushi Bar Games The Honey’s West Loop Dental G West Loop Fruvé arag The Hive S ABERDEEN ST Salumi e Free People Solo Salon N ABERDEEN ST The Beer Bistro McDonald’s World Headquarters World McDonald’s MMcD cDo Smitten Boutique Dona Forno Rosso H P Li nald AM Chica ro n ald’s Pizzeria Steelite d j ect d’s W d’s Cone Ice Cream a W s WoWorl Sp Mad Boiler Bauscher Hepp arren ine rld g d He T o uc Hea Krav Maga Force & Pet k S adq TESA Cigar Company er Scratch GoodsG ods tabilit dqu Reso P u Another 20 Madison Street Kitchen ua p’ arte r s y t ters FMFMH Hairr StudioStuS udidio The Fig Tree rs Tribeca Boutique N CARPENTER ST CrossTown Fitness Harvest Juicery La MB Financial Over Time By Vdot MedStar The Madison Bar Monteverde AlphaGraphics S Drive-Thru The HairLoft S ardin Ma Lake St Barbering h Breslow West Loop Sushi a The Market by Foxtrot n Cold Storage m e Sculpture e b Axelle + Ivy Abst h Nail Party a Subway Dunkin’ Donuts l a Eyes On Fulton r Roti Prairie School acts Ce Ce Bespoke Club Sout Corned Beef Skyline Smiles Ban n n ter West Loop Chiropractic t Aestheticetice ic Hair r Factory a h West Loop Mart Sweetgreen k Regards to Edith Pockets l Dermatologyogygy Federales The Polenta Bar Starbucks Anthropologie King DDSDDDS Swift & Sons S MORGAN ST N MORGAN ST La Colombe The Avairy B Sta G Do Ta S Morgan Cleaners S C ar Green HomeChicag h Vision Boutique tum - Movie TheatreDevelopmentMMo it Base SalonBas Parkway BankPPar Mod P Nando’s y C a - T y H La Sirena lor arkw age OnePilate ovie r ase Rite a Mous k ue Billiards buc NEXT vie T oneygro e ki kwa p e S eTh + Umami Burger G way Clandestina S town t European Wax Center Sal o ourmet k h Do alon N s hea Ethico ack Threading Lounge y B Roister e eatr atu n Ban Time Hair Gallery n uts Blind Barber w C ank tre Center for Floral Desi r o A e D a ff k Casati /M: SHOP l B De Body Movement Porkchop ee Roasters s Gallery G2 A Men’s Salon eaut Aesopsopsoop Eastman Egg Co.

  • Neighborhood Plan West Loop
    West Loop Neighborhood Plan Prepared by: Neighbors of West Loop Chicago, IL August, 2018 West Loop Neighborhood Plan In 2013, an effort was initiated to increase collaboration among residents across the four wards of the transforming West Loop. The Fulton River District Association (FRDA), a neighborhood group located in the northeast portion of the West Loop, looked beyond its boundaries to engage nearby volunteers. FRDA worked with residents that were participating in other community organizations like park advisory councils (PACs), Community Alternative Policing Strategy (CAPS), local school councils, and other positive community organizations. In January of 2014, the Fulton River District Association became Neighbors of West Loop and expanded its geographic reach to include all of the West Loop as we know it today. Neighbors of West Loop (NoWL) is a neighborhood organization comprised of West Loop residents who bring together others in the area who want to make a positive impact on our vibrant community. We are a non-profit organization, supported by our membership and other West Loop residents who volunteer their time to benefit the organization. The organization is founded on transparency and welcomes anyone who wants to make a difference at the local level. The positions that we establish and the initiatives that we promote are aligned with the feedback that we receive from the community. Our goal is to empower residents who wish to volunteer their time for the West Loop. We believe in transparency and the idea that every resident should have the opportunity to be informed and to be heard on issues that affect their community.

Daley, Mayor Department of Planning and Development Lori T. Healey, Commissioner Above: Map of Southeast Side of Chicago with Calumet Park Fieldhouse encircled. The Commission on Chicago Landmarks, whose nine members are appointed by the Mayor, was established in 1968 by city ordinance. The Commission is responsible for recommending to the City Council which individual buildings, sites, objects, or districts should be designated as Chicago Landmarks, which protects them by law. The landmark designation process begins with a staff study and a preliminary summary of information related to the potential designation criteria. The next step is a preliminary vote by the land- marks commission as to whether the proposed landmark is worthy of consideration. This vote not only initiates the formal designation process, but it places the review of city permits for the property under the jurisdiction of the Commission until a final landmark recommendation is acted on by the City Council. This Landmark Designation Report is subject to possible revision and amendment during the designation process. Only language contained within the designation ordinance adopted by the City Council should be regarded as final. CALUMET PARK FIELDHOUSE 9801 SOUTH AVENUE G BUILT: 1922-24 ARCHITECTS: SOUTH PARK COMMISSION ARCHITECTS (LINN WHITE, CHIEF ENGINEER) ARTIST: FREDERICK C.
