Many of the area’s residents and business owners have a strong loyalty to the Near West Side. They feel that its active, mixed-use and low density character should be preserved wherever possible. In response to the need to take a comprehensive approach toward improving the Near West Side and guiding its future development, the City engaged the Lakota team to identify area needs and craft the Area Land Use Plan presented in this report.

Originally home to the city’s bustling wholesale market district, several of the West Loop’s charismatic warehouses continue to market and distribute food goods today, while neighboring thoroughfares are being revitalized to refl ect and foster the urban life, culture and energy for which this historic area is known. 6 7 FULTON MARKET Dynamic Day & Night Destination At the heart of the West Loop is Fulton Market. 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

A few words of description will inform the reader of what has been placed below the surface of the site to support the enormous weight of the building when that is completed. From the records in the possession of Alderman Francis W.
