Strong Towns Chicago members are at city hall today to support an ordinance that would eliminate parking mandates in certain transit-served areas!

Less parking = more homes, more walkability, and stronger cities!

Lincoln Square was so lively last night! The street is closed to vehicle traffic for about a week, and every night so far people have come out to enjoy a car-free space! If you want to see this block be car-free more frequently (or permanently πŸ‘€), be sure to support the businesses there this week!
