  • NEIGHBORHOOD PROTECTION REPORT Dear Neighbors
    2019 NEIGHBORHOOD PROTECTION REPORT Dear Neighbors, Thank you for your support of the Chicago Cubs in 2019. Each year, we are proud to share with the community our efforts aimed at protecting and enhancing the quality of life for Lakeview residents, while ensuring the fan and visitor experience at Wrigley Field is the best in baseball. The work to expand and preserve Wrigley Field continued this year and the Cubs reached new levels in support for community and charitable activities. Through our investment of more than $1 million, we helped reduce traffic congestion in the area, proactively communicated to residents about events and activities in the neighborhood and helped keep our community clean and safe. Our notable achievements in 2019 are highlighted in this report. Among them: • Nearly 54,000 fans used the remote parking lot at 3900 N. Rockwell Street and took the shuttle bus to and from Wrigley Field, helping alleviate traffic in the neighborhood. • Nearly 4,000 bicyclists took advantage of the free valet service down the block from the ballpark, further reducing traffic and air pollution in the area. • Our neighborhood newsletter provided regular updates about events inside and outside the ballpark, including impacts to parking, traffic in the area and construction activity. • We continued to help deter crime and keep our neighborhood clean by funding programs such as Safe at Home and trash removal in Lakeview. We also are proud of our investments in the community. In 2019, the Cubs and Cubs Charities supported millions of dollars in charitable grants and donations to deserving nonprofit organizations in the neighborhood and throughout Chicago.

    4th Annual Historic “L” Station Tour October 20, 2002 Presented By: Chicago-L.org 4th Annual Historic “L” Station Tour Guide Union Loop When the tour begins at Quincy station downtown, you will find yourself on the old Union Elevated Railroad, commonly known as "the Loop." The only man who could accomplish the difficult task of bringing a common downtown terminal to the Chicago elevated rapid transit system, which used to end at a separate terminal for each company, was Charles Tyson Yerkes. He had enough political deftness and power to convince store owners to sign consent forms allowing construction of the overhead structures on their streets (although alley routes were briefly contemplated). Though it was difficult — two segments had to be obtained under the names of existing "L" companies while for the two other legs, two companies, the Union Elevated Railroad and the Union Consolidated Elevated Railroad, had to be created — Yerkes managed to coordinate it all. As can be imagined from its piecemeal The construction of the Loop through downtown, seen here look- method of obtaining of leases, the Union Loop (referred ing west at Lake and Wabash circa 1894, was a major construction to simply as "the Loop" today) opened in pieces, starting project.
