  • USEPA Brownfields Cleanup Grant Proposal Narrative
    USEPA Brownfields Cleanup Grant Proposal Narrative 1807-15 North Kimball Avenue in Chicago, Illinois 1. PROJECT AREA DESCRIPTION AND PLANS FOR REVITALIZATION 1.a.i. Background and Description of Target Area: The brownfield property that is the subject of this cleanup grant is located at 1807-15 North Kimball Avenue in Chicago, Illinois (herein referred to as “the Site”). The Site has the most immediate impact on the Logan Square and Humboldt Park neighborhoods. Following the Great Fire of 1871, as well as the arrival of railways in the 1880s and 1890s, these two neighborhoods experienced the same rapid growth as the City. The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries saw waves of European immigration into Logan Square and Humboldt Park. By 1960, however, much of the European-descended population had moved away, and the two neighborhoods had become the site of a burgeoning Hispanic and Latino community. By 1990, Hispanic and Latino residents comprised approximately 67% of the Logan Square’s population, and by 2000, they comprised approximately 48% of Humboldt Park’s population.1 The Logan Square and Humboldt Park neighborhoods are situated in the northwestern portion of Chicago, with Humboldt Park located directly south of Logan Square. The Bloomingdale Trail is an elevated greenway constructed on a former railroad that passes through the two neighborhoods and forms the backbone of a park and trail network called The 606, an extremely popular and successful park and trail network with over a million users each year. Trails such as this one help make bicycle travel a safe, attractive transportation alternative to travel by car, helping to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality.

  • What It Means to Patrons of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Ry
    What it means to patrons of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Ry. ] The Union Elevated Loop ... and the ... ElevatED Railway Systems in Chicago. Their usefulness in connection with travel over The Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway. COPYRlGH'l', 1898, by A. J. SMI'fH, Gen. P"ss. & l'kt. Agt. THE UNION ELEVATED LOOP. The Union Elevated Loop is that portion of Chicago's Elevated Railway system which unites the entire system of that city into one common whole, hence the name" Union." It may be termed the clear- ing point for all elevated trains of the city, as all trains in the system, from whatsoever lines they may come, must pass out upon and run entirely around the Loop until they arrive at the oncoming point, from whence they make their way, returning to the terminus of their respective lines, either on the west, north or south side, as the case may be. The Union Elevated Loop is a double-track struc- ture, its line running east on Van Buren street from Fifth avenue to Wabash avenue, thence north to Lake street, thence west to Fifth avenue, thence south to Van Buren street. The distance covered by the Loop is two miles and it encloses, practically, the great busi- ness, shopping, hotel and theatre district of Chicago. More than one thousand trains per day of twenty- four hours pass the Loop (all stopping directly at the Lake Shore station in Van Buren street) at regular stated intervals; the trains average three cars per train and are run on regular time schedules the 'same as those on steam railways.
